Hello. I'm looking for a teletype in ontario and was wondering if you could
recommend someone here in Canada to speak with. Its a very peculiar
interest and came across your thread. Any direction is of interest. Thanks.
Hi all --
Working on recapping an old (failed) 5V supply in that Microkit machine
I picked up last week; the main filter capacitor is rated at 16,000uF
15V, axial. So far in my searches an exact (or even close) match in an
Axial form-factor seems to be unobtainium. I can find snap-in or
screw-in types but those are going to be clumsy to retro-fit given the
space it has to occupy. (plus they're pretty expensive.)
How far off the original capacitance value can I stray before it
compromises the original design?
Thanks,
Josh

I think 40% is a little too aggressively low and my dehumidifier would run pretty much continuously May-September if I had it set that low. 60% is a better ballpark and only during the most humid parts of summer does my basement dehumidifier run more than a few hours a day.
I will sometimes go as low as 30% setting during the summer but only when I want to demonstrate my Wimshurst machine :-)

Anyone know anything about the Microkit 8/16 computer? I just snagged
one off eBay (item 390461957738) -- it looked too cool to resist. Looks
to be from the mid-70s, 8080-based, and all I can find on the 'net is
very basic information. Anyone have manuals or software?
There were two others on eBay, but they appear to have been snatched up
in the three minutes I spent composing this mail...

If you find two, please let me know. I am also looking for one.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have the ROM file for the COSMAC (boots into basic OS
with ability to load/write to tape, etc). Which model PROM was used
with the original COSMAC?
Recently I found an incomplete PDP-8/a and need the transformer and
backplane to start working on it. If anyone has one or both then please let
me know.
