What if he posted the item on eBay, but with a non-descript
title/meaningless like "old computer", with no explanatory text, and
then posted a brief message here, with a pointer to the eBay item?
The idea behind that is only a single message would ever appear for
any given item ... he wouldn't need to tell the losers who won (they
could check on eBay), and the mechanics are handled by eBay.

I agree, and have no problems with it. I'd prefer a classicmp
collector competing with me to having Alex Z competing :)

Yes, according to the recent ruling, gloating over ownership of cool
gizmos is only appropriate *after* the acquisition - not before!

This boot disks seem to be all the rave :) I need one for a KayPro II. I
assume this is CP/M, but I am not sure, since I never actually used this
computer. But if someone can provide the disk, I will have a perfect KII.
Thanks.

Since the advent of the PC-clone industry, it is accepted that lots of
hardware items are "no-name", with no indication of who manufactured it,
where it was manufactured, and usually minimal or zero documentation
about the product.
(OK, some of this no-name stuff predates the PC-clone industry. Apple
][ clones in the Lasnerian mid-80's are also examples that comes to mind.)

Greetings,
-Membership is at a healthy 42 members to the Altair Computer collector's club. My goal is reach 100 members by the end of '99. Spread the word! http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/altaircomputerclub
-If you haven't already seen the parent website to this club please check it out- http://altaircomputers.org It's chalk full of useful info for Altair computer enthusiasts.
-One of the most important initiatives of the website is to complete the owner registry of MITS computers including 8800, 680 and Attache http://www.geocities.com/~daveygf/registry/registryserial.html If your model is not on the registry, let me know so I can update the list. Of course your privacy will be respected if you don't want your name published.

Got a bad cap in a TU56 drive. Markings are as follows:
7330L, SPRAGUE, 100MFD, 55V-60CY, A5030.
Can anyone tell me where I can order a replacement that's both electrically
and mechanically (size) the same?
More importantly, I've been scrounging the net for this info. Is there a
good online resource I'm missing for xrefing caps?
Thanks!
Jay West
Since Sellam just made mention of an ebay item,
I hope it's OK to mention another. Did anyone
else notice that, in the pictures of one of the
other Altairs for sale, there are _TWO_MORE_
visible in the background? God, you would think
the people bidding on these things would get a
clue... THEY AREN'T THAT RARE!

Hello all,
After being buried under an avalanche of work, I've tried to catch up
and resurface. 2672 messages in my classiccmp box this morning...
Sorry to have disappeared on the couple of pending transactions, so if I
was going to send you money or free garba^H^H^H^H^H^H collectables,
please email me at my regular email address (A_Finney(a)wfi-inc.com).
Some great messages in the whole pile, I just wish I'd gotten to them
sooner to join in. And damn it, I missed bidding on that 21 year old
computer (does 6' tall and 175lbs count as big iron?). I would have had
him paint my house and then sold him by the pound for dog food...
Good to be back,
Aaron
Last year you sent out a request for info about HP7475A Plotter pens. Like you, I am now trying to get one working. DId you find a source for pens? Also, do you have any idea where I can get a plotter manual? Even xerox copies of the important pages would help. ALso, any idea what cable is required. Thanks.
