Couple of snaps I took today. I'll do something more elaborate eventually...

 

Two nearly mint XEs: the 65XE (at the back) I bought new nearly twenty years ago, and had been in storage until I retrieved it last November. The keyboard was yellow and at the time (prior to Retr0Brite) I figured the best solution was a brand new keyboard (which is in the 130XE at the moment). The 130XE at the front is second hand from ebay. I bought it for £14 a couple of months ago. The case is so mint that I had to put the 65XE's new keyboard in it (the 130XE's is now in the 65XE!):

And the two STs. The 520ST at the back was my first upgrade job (to 1MB). Tried bleaching the case but it never came up too great. Then I got the STE in front for £5, which I very successfully cleaned up, upgraded to 4MB, put a 4160STe badge on, and replaced the DMA chip. It's nearly as nice as the mint 130XE.

I've only been "collecting" for about six months, and I'm not really hoarding for the sake of it. The XEs are used for software development, and I hope to do some development on the ST one day. I also have an XF-551 which I bought new, plus four ST mice in various states of restoration. No huge software collections... I doubt I ever will. I'd quite like an 800XL or 1200XL one day.
