I visited the MIT Flea today! A great selection of vintage '70s and '80s computers this time. I saw people happily boxing up VIC-20s and TRS-80s to take home. This is going to be a thread of some of what I saw, followed by what I ended up with myself.
I remember using a Flightstick Pro for the family Mac Performa in the mid 1990s. My dad had the Chuck Yeager flight simulator (which was pretty cool at the time), and that was the game he had gotten the stick for.
@jake4480 I have a USB Flightstick Pro that's been collecting dust on a shelf for years now. I decided it should be making someone else happy, so I'm hoping to sell it cheap at a flea market this coming Sunday.
I did make sure it works first, of course. Every button and axis tests perfectly. They're built to last.
I'm going to be selling for the first time at the #MITFlea on April 21st. I am clearing out a lot of hardware that has been taking up a back corner for too long. Most of it even works! A lot of it is relatively modern and working (i.e., you can install at least Windows 10, or any modern flavor of Linux), some of it is leaning retro: working 3.5" drives, an original Macintosh carrying case, and this Intellimouse that I pulled out of a box today.
