As a follow up to Chris' posting, I have put together a group buy and we have now sold more than 35 of these tubes;? at this point, you can order as few or as many tubes as you wish as long as stock is available.
If you want in on this, funds must be in my PayPal
account - j at ckrubin.us - as soon as possible but no later than Thursday, November 14. Please send funds "To a Friend" so I don't get charged a PayPal fee for doing this pass-thru ordering!
I will place an order on Monday,
November 11, and then again toward the end of the week and the tubes will be shipped to you directly from EMI. If you have
a phosphor color preference, let me know and I'll forward that to EMI, but no
guarantees as to color or anything else.

Usual disclaimer - I have no financial interest in this
transaction or in EMI Solutions - I'm just trying to save these tubes from
being scrapped.

Following up on Chris' earlier notice, I've put together a group buy with EMI Solutions and we've already taken orders for 33 tubes, so you can now purchase any number (until stock is gone - they have about 50) for $25 each, including shipping. For international shipping, contact them directly - webmaster at emisolutions.com .
If you want in on this, send me $25/tube through PayPal - j at ckrubin.us Send money as "Payment to a Friend" - I don't want to get dinged by PayPal for being a nice guy. Let me know if you prefer white or green phosphor, though there is no guarantee as to color (or anything else) and make sure to send a mailing address. I will place an order on Monday and then on following days if necessary.

After shipping all the P112 kits preordered through Kickstarter, I have a
small number (six) of kits available for immediate shipment. Once these
sell, I will order some more parts and then there will be approximately 80
more. There's a Paypal button on the P112 webpage at http://661.org/p112/
to make it nice and easy. If you're not on speaking terms with Paypal,
email me and we'll work something out.

EMI Solutions is going out of business and is clearing stock. They've
offered to sell these tubes -
DEC P/N 70-19578 VT220 TUBE & CRT ASSEMBLY
for $37.50 + $15 shipping/ea or bulk qty of (10) for $250 including shipping
in the US. They will ship internationally but contact them for costs.
Jack Rubin and I have already purchased a few and they are as advertised,
new-old-stock, shipped in the original carton with foamed-in-place
support. The part number actually crosses to a VR201 CRT + bezel assembly
but the bezel is easily removed by loosening a single screw. The VT220
and VR201 CRTs themselves are interchangeable. Phosphor colors are white,
green and amber, subject to availability.
I have successfully swapped the tube in an old VR201 that suffered from
severe "cataracts" and it was about a 10 minute job. The monitor now
works and looks great-- other than the color mismatch between the very
yellowed housing and the fresh DEC beige of the new bezel.
Good deal-- move quick as unsold units go to scrap at the end of
the month.
Contact Claudia, <webmaster at emisolutions.com>
Nothing in this for me other than helping people keep their VR201 and
VT220 looking sharp and these tubes from going to scrap.

Does anyone have any experience with replacing aging 50-pin (or even
68-pin and SCA) SCSI drives with a SCSI-to-CF bridge? I'm thinking
specifically for DEC hardware (PDP-11, VAX or Alpha).
Also given the fact I have a good supply of drives, how cheap can
such bridges be obtained? Believe it or not, part of what I'm
thinking of is noise.
Of course on the PDP-11 front I booted RT-11 on a Raspberry Pi for
the first time yesterday, and was quite pleased with the performance.

Hi
Thanks everybody! There are now enough pre-ordered S-100 bus extender PCBs
so I ordered a batch. They should be here in early December 2013. There
should be plenty of boards available so if you want to pre-order yours feel
free. These are the nice S-100 bus extenders with logic probe, signal
ports, grounds, indicator LEDs, fuses, etc. They are very handy for system
debugging and are improved over the last version.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Please contact Mark directly. I have nothing to do with this. I just
saw Douglas Jones forward it on to PDP8-Lovers and figured I'd pass it
along.

Goodwill Industries rehabs computers and sells computer parts, at
least in Austin, Texas. The Goodwill Computer Museum is a natural
outgrowth of that effort. In this video, museum curator Lisa Worley
takes Slashdot's Timothy Lord on a tour of the museum. Remember that
TRS-80 you threw away in 1982? Well, they saved several of them to
stimulate your nostalgia-based pleasure nodules. Ditto many other
devices both common and rare, including a pre-Dell computer made and
signed by Texas computer celebrity Michael Dell. So sit back and enjoy
the ride, as Timothy does the walking and Lisa does the talking, kind
of like Night at the Museum -- but without CGI dinosaurs and other
life forms getting between you and the classic computers.
