Unexpected Find

by blstuart＠bellsouth.net

I'm always a bit green with jealousy when I read a post where someone announces a great find. I can't help but thinking "That's nice for you but stop rubbing it in." Well, I can't help but relate that today I was sorting through some magazines and papers trying to get my office/workshop in order when I found a Cardiac. I still don't know where I got it, but needless to say, it made my day. A little later I carried it into another room in my outstretched hands. My daughter asked what I had and my wife said "apparently the Holy Grail." Rarely a truer word... Brian L. Stuart

HP racks (and VCF east)

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

4 people wanted me to bring racks to VCF east. I am running into problems with trailer max load, car pulling max load, etc. Looks like at the least I am going to have to disassemble two or all of the racks. ICK!! Does anyone know the empty weight of an HP 2860B rack (this is the older style with a greenish/grey color scheme), and an HP 29431G rack (the generation after that that is more cream colored with rounded edges)?? I have the manuals for both racks, neither one says the weight. Any help appreciated :\ Jay West

DEC at MIT

by trash3＠splab.cas.neu.edu

The MIT flea market is always the third Sunday of the month. It starts in April and ends in October. The first and last are the best. It is quite a mix of stuff. Vendors line up starting at 7:00 A.M. and the gates open at 9:00 A.M. Buyers are $5 ($1 off with copy of ad/flyer) There is a talk-in on ham radio. Sponsored by the Harvard Wireless Club, the MIT electronics research society, the MIT uhf repeater association and the MIT radio society. If I go (I usually do) and somebody from out of town is staying somewhat near the path I take to go to the flea, I might be able to offer a ride. Joe Heck

Looking for BA23 rack mount hardware

by bob＠jfcl.com

Hi, I'm looking for the necessary hardware, including the rails and face plates, to rack mount a pair of BA23s. I've got a bunch of BA23s in floor stands that I'd be happy to swap for it, or I could just pay cash :-) Thanks, Bob Armstrong

The rest, a person will eventually learn. Dealing with making mistakes takes a different kind of person. They either learn to deal with it or find a chicken farm someplace in Iowa. Dwight
