Today I got a few photos of two Eminent 310 models he saw standing outside in the rain.
Heartbreaking to see obviously.

He doesn't have the space to store them (me neither, as well as more people we tried to find). Too bad, it's even not far from where I live.
And Albert Steenbergen has stopped with his Eminent repairs due to lack of interest.
So they're probably being collected by the local authority and then... well, I'm not sure but they might be destroyed? If they are smart, they bring them to a 2nd hand store

[Finaero]

Man, that's sad. In many ways you'd think collectors would want to acquire those things no matter what, but based on a quick search there's been one on Reverb for 5 years now with a 65% price drop and no one's bought the thing https://reverb.com/marketplace?query=eminent%20310

If those were (certain) vintage computers, someone would have probably gotten them already. A computer museum in the Netherlands took an immensive effort to bring an obscure vintage "physical Photoshop" back to life (of sort), so it'd be a shame if the Eminents just ended up getting scrapped.

[Dr_Jones]

Yeah, there's one for free on dutch marktplaats.nl too.

The two Eminents are still outside btw.

Oh darn, not even wrapped up, what an utter waste

[plate of chips]

Aaah a shame that. I would have rescued both if I was near.

[Fenomen7383]

Too bad, I already have 4

[Analog-Umph]

This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

It's too bad I'm on the other side of the world, those instruments wouldn't have been standing naked under the weather for more than 2 seconds if I was around.

You just don't mistreat history that way!

[Beelooo]

Damned ! Where is it ? Is there any chance that they are working ?

[Dr_Jones]

They are long gone. It was close to where I live in the Netherlands. I think Eminents are dirt cheap on Dutch 2nd hand sites nowadays though.

Do you have a car with a trailer? And enough time to drive to and from the Netherlands?
