While digging around in the basement last night I found my old Nintendo
GameBoy, with a 1999 manufacture date. That makes it 15 years old.
Does this now make it a classic?
The interesting thing is that the old 1999 GameBoy games will play in
my six year old's brand new 2004 Gameboy Advanced SP.
I have several items (calculators, robots, Mac's, etc) that I'm trying to
restore and the battery acid has eaten away the battery contacts. Anyone
have a easy way or source to get new contacts to replace the damaged ones?
Thanks
I see a HP 9820 or 30 in the pile, not to mention a HP 9825 and a HP 86. I
want to go but it is too far. Looks like a great sale!!!!
If anyone goes please post a report. It looks well worth going.
Look for very old large 200 & 400 channel dataloggers. I have pulled a lot of
core memory stacks from those.
Some of the tube stuff will have tubes that are worth more than the
instruments.
Looks like lots of collectibles. I would love to know the history of the
junkpile. It looks like someone has been going to auctions for a long time.

At some companies, they are STILL running Atari MegaST computers that run
inserting machines in their statement processing centers! I'm trying to get my
hands on one since I know they just get tossed out eventually.
Hi,
I recently inherited a bunch of TTL and such from a list member (thanks,
Zane!), and after going through it all, I find there are several items where
I don't know how to, or otherwise can't, use them. These are basically free
to a good home (postage would be good). Many of them look like they might
be suitable for someone's vintage computer equipment :-).
(Since this is slightly off-topic, please direct replies off-list.)

Sounds familiar... ;-) Not to heap "yet another thing" onto the plate, but
has anyone gotten info on any lodging deals as of yet? I've got the time
off & the okeydokey from the Big Boss (a.k.a. Wife, granted, to garner such
permission I promised to bring her along & toss in a Lobster dinner as
well... ;-) and so any hotel/motel deals would be kewl...
Oh, maps / points of interest would be neat, too. Other than the VCF, my
big thing is I want to tour the Sam Adams brewery... hehehe...
>I swear I'll be caught up this weekend. I was supposed to be caught up
>last weekend and now I'm sure Evan is pissed at me :(
Famous last words, eh? I've been swearing about being caught up "by this
weekend" for... hell... 15 years now. ;^> I finally got most of what I
needed to get done *last month* thru this week...
Heck, at this rate, I'll have to retire by the time I'm 40, just to have
enough time to catch up on all the stuff I need to do before I die![1]
Laterz, and thanks!

Well, no, the problem with these CRT's is that they
have a RTV-like implosion shield between the front of
the tube and another layer of glass. Over time, the
RTV develops a mold from the edges in and the tube
looks horrible and becomes unusable. I worked up the
guts to cut between the tube and the plate with a
nichrome wire. Not recommended for the sane. I
replaced the shield with aquarium RTV at the edges.
The tube works very well now.

Hi,
I use to run this combo with RL02 drives,
it should fit on one RL01 drive but not much
free space left over.
This was in 1981-1982, someone else setup the hardware so I
don't remember much about that, I was working on the software.
I was surprised that so much of the operating system was
implemented in BASIC :-)
