I look forward to seeing you at VCF Midwest at the Schaumburg Convention
Center this Saturday & Sunday (12-Nov & 13-Nov).
I will have a PiDP-1, PiDP-8 & PiDP-11 in action and I have few of each
of the Obsolescence Products for sale at the show. When I run out of
units to sell I will be taking orders at the show for drop shipping to
your home with a VCFMW Discount.
I am at tables C308 - C311 in pod C3.
Also, every year during the show I host a DEC NUT pizza party at my
house a 7PM. I have expanded this party to include HP calculator and
Gimix computer fans.
Please stop by my tables for my address.
See you at the show.

The Commodore 64 was sold in Canada in Sept. 1982. My brother-in-law bought
his in Toronto around that time. It was $595 cdn.($4,000 today!). A lot of
money back then. Well even today.
Happy computing.
Paul -
I have been looking for a clean Amber serial terminal, like the DEC VT320-C2 or HP 900 series,
that I used daily in the early 1990s. There was a common 12” CRT assembly that Ball used (V12) and others. I could probably cross-reference the CRT number.

If anyone is interested in anything listed below, or any DEC parts, please
let me know ASAP and I will try to have them tested and loaded for the trip.
SZ12 expansion box
PE32A-BD DEC 3000/300X
PE40A-B9 DEC 3000/400 ( I HAVE TO FIND A CPU FOR IT)
DEC 3000/400?
VAXSTATION 3100/76 SPX
MICROVAX 3100 KA41
3100 DV31CT2-A
VAXSTATION 4000 60
DECSYSTEM 5000/25
3EA 5000/125
5000/133
2EA 5000/200
I have more in another location and will try to find them later today.
I have a lot of extra boards for the above boxes, mostly for the 5000s and
I am still looking for them.
I have VAX CPU and memory boards for the BA23, and the BA213s boxes. Also
"S" box boards and panels.
TONS of Q-bus, Unibus, and some PDP8 boards.
Robins, Rainbows, DECmates, PROs, and parts
Now it gets weird. I have about a dozen or so brand new CRTs for VT330s.
I'm sure they were used in other terminals, but I have no idea which. I
should have all 3 colors.
Also an OMEGA B22, DII and Bessler enlarger and a ton of darkroom
equipment, audio gear including mixers.
Thanks, Paul

Not exactly the image I'd expect to see on a webpage advertising shiny new technology. It even shows that application running on the VT100 (simulated, but the evidence for that is pretty subtle).
Fun.
