   I hope it's not too late.  Please, for the love of all things sacred...don't   
   ever scrap/recycle vintage computer gear.  Yes, I admit some of it really is   
   worthless (like old RS-232 cables) but vintage computers like Amiga's, PET's,   
   VIC-20's, etc. are    
   dropping off the planet.   
      
   Of course, selling it could be the most advantageous for you in that you could   
   earn a profit.   
      
   If you don't want the hassle of selling it, then by all means donate it.  Here   
   in the US, Goodwill is a TERRIBLE place to donate old computers because they   
   deem them worthless and send them off to recycle.   
      
   You could always list them on CL for free pickup or even sell them on eBay for   
   $1 with local pickup only.   
      
   Anyway, just my suggestion.
