Are you per chance using a browser that may not display the paid links on
the right or top as different from the rest of the links?
Ordinarily, I would think that would be a stretch, but on this list, I
know its common to find people using Lynx or some other browser that may
not display things they way google planned.
its also possible that they company is seeding certain terms in an effort
to get pushed higher on google. IIRC, google prioritizes based on who is
linked the most... so if the company spams public archived mail lists, or
has a banner ad that is being picked up by google, they may be
artifically getting moved to the top.

Sounds like a process for an electric frying pan and peanut oil.
Wear gloves and a face shield ( unless your really stupid ).
Use a chip puller tool or make something up with stiff wire
( like coat hanger, a little bending and filing ).
After they cool, wash then with dish soap.

Anyone have a QIC-100 SCSI tape drive drive? Or know where to get one?
Seems like there was a brief window when such a thing existed, but I
can't seem to find any evidence on the web. I must be searching for the
wrong thing. I probably need a specific product.
I've got a qic-150 drive (the large 4x6x.5" carts). I need a qic-100 drive.
(I suspect it's the same size cart as a TU-58. I don't plan to use it to
read TU-58's, but who knows, maybe it will read them)

Hi all,
Anybody out here has a spare VMEbus system to give away or sell ?
Did a lot of work on the VMEbus many years ago, and somehow
would like to have at least one VME system in my collection.
Nothing fancy, a 68000 is OK, with floppy if possible.
cheers & thanks
Hi all,
Really weird question. I just ungreased the Beckmann 9020 scope
I recently got, and it looks like it still works fine. And now
that it's all clean again, one can even see stuff on the crt :)
However, I did'n't get any probes with it. Does anyone have a
set of 20MHz-capable probes lying around?
Cheers,
Fred

Hi Gang - Is there an email support list for mechanical calculators?
I just picked up a MonroeMatic, looks like a model CSA-10, for a cheap
price in un-molested condition. Tag shows an M.G. date of 982663.
Just needs de-gunking cleaning and lube (hopefully).
I can get it to do simple add / subtract but things like the 'set up' button
aren't obvious. It's one of those jobs with the shifting accumulator along
the top, multiplication and division ;)

I was going through the junk yesterday and found two boards with the
following:
HM4816AP-15/TMS4416-15NL -> 192 chips
HM50256P-12 -> 144 chips (256kx1)
The early bird gets the ... for the price of postage.

Just thought I'd make everyone aware that I have listed several old (50s and 60s) pieces of test equipment (vacuum tube) on the Vintage Computer Marketplace. They are a Tektronix scope, EICO TV-FM Sweep Signal Generator, EICO TV-FM Sweep Generator & Marker, HP Vacuum Tube Voltmeter, and a HP Audio Oscillator. I am listing them here first to give our members a chance to get them first. I will be putting those items that do not sell up on ebay at a later date and a higher price. Thanks for looking. Bill
