An Apple 1 motherboard, a 79-year-old TV and the only surviving processor of the last supercomputer designed by Seymour Cray are being auctioned in New York.
The 1936 Baird television set may not work and delivers a huge electrical charge of 5000 volts.
But it could still fetch between $20,000 (£13,000) and $30,000, according to auctioneer Bonhams.
The Apple 1 has a starting price of $300,000.

Fewer than 50 Apple 1s are believed to still exist.
Seymour Cray is widely considered to have designed the world's first commercial supercomputers.

The processor, with serial number 001, is listed at $50,000 - $80,000 when the auction takes place at 13:00 local time (18:00 BST).
Other lots include an early German Enigma machine, handwritten paperwork by Albert Einstein and a 19th Century telegraph sending and receiving set used by spies during the US Civil War.

"Their scarcity is always going to bring inflation in terms of the value of these devices.
"You can go right back to the evolution of technology - lots of people are collecting typewriters."
Mr Wood, who has a collection of more than 1,000 mobile handsets dating back to 1982, added that despite their comparatively limited performance, collectors do still tend to prefer working models.
"To me personally it doesn't matter whether they still work as I am interested in physical design," he said.
"However, for a lot of people it would matter immensely."
As devices became more similar in appearance, it was the software behind them that could become the collectable of the future, Mr Wood said.
"If the physical devices all start looking the same... I have a vision that people will start keeping the software," he said.
