Hi, Anyone near Grove City, PA ??? I have a solder rework station out there that needs to be picked up, its about 100lbs or so and I don't want to chance it being shipped. I'm willing to meet off of Route 84 to anyone willing to pick it up and make the trip part (or most) of the way to Carmel, NY (its about a 5+ drive each way and I'm not allowed to drive more then 2 hrs right now because of the heart surgeries I had.) I'm willing to pay anyone for the pickup and delivery, let me know off-list, thank you. Curt

TU56 lamp replacement

> I also found this: http://www.pdp8.net/tu56/tu56.shtml > in which Dave G. describes a successful use of the CM2182 (14V, > 80ma) bulb in this application. > I just replaced one of them again last week so I had taken a picture of the indicator disassembled. It is now up at http://www.pdp8online.com/tu56/pics/p1000839.shtml?small If your TU56 -15V input is high you may run this bulb above their rated voltage shortening their life.

Sinclair ZX80 on Ebay

by julianskidmore＠yahoo.com

Hi folks, > Well I was. Was the difference the fact video stopped when the cpu > was not in the idle key press loop? There's quite a few differences between the ZX80 & ZX81. The ZX81 supported 'compute and display' thanks to its more 'advanced' video chip! The ZX81 was (AFAIK) the first use of a gate-array chip in a home computer! The ZX81 had an 8K ROM with floating point arithmetic, 'graphics'; decent string-handling and ZX printer support! The ZX81 syntax-checker was nicer. The ZX81 had a heat-sink that worked! The ZX81 was unbelievably slow! The ZX80 had that certain 'je ne sais quoi' that makes it at least worth 10x more than any ZX81. I'm convinced about this, being the lucky owner of one* ;-) -cheers from Julz @P * It was given to me as well, for which I'm really thankful!

Athena Computer

by evan＠snarc.net

There was a company called "Athena Computer and Electronic Systems" based in San Juan Capistrano, California in the early 1980s. The president was David Mitchell. Anyone know where I can find him today? Or does anyone know of other people who worked there?

Data General Eclipse MV/9000U available in Hayward, California

by sellam＠vintagetech.com

There is a Data General Eclipse MV/9000-U CPU (and cabinet/power supply if you want that) available in Hayward, California. Further model information is "G11202-G7". I don't know much about this. Photos here: http://siconic.com/crap/hayward/ Someone apparently dropped it since I last saw it. Don't know what damage has occured, but at least the photos give you a general idea of the size. My guess is if you want this you'll just want the CPU. It's in there...somewhere. Contact me directly if interested. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]

KSR33 on e-bay. . .

by tiggerlasv＠aim.com

Noticed this while perusing - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290361284863 I'm suprised that there's not even a bid on it, as of 23:30 PST on Monday. (I am in no way affiliated with this auction.) T

Non-Linear Systems Kaypro II available in Hayward, California

by sellam＠vintagetech.com

There is a very nice condition (excellent cosmetic/physical) Kaypro II (branded Non-Linear Systems, so it's early) available in Hayward, California. I've turned it on and booted it up and it seems to work just fine. The video is nice and crisp. It's a really nice Kaypro II, with minor wear. I believe it is missing one of the keys on the numeric keypad, but otherwise is complete. While it is not mine, I am selling it for the owner. Please contact me directly with an offer if you're interested. Will ship to anywhere. The same model sold earlier in the year at the ACCRC auction for a $151 high bid, FYI. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
