I payed 100$, and had to pick it up in Queens/Nassau. I'll take 50$ plus shipping, from 08758. It works, but
there is noticeable screen burn even when off. I have some disks, and
the 8" drive cabinet.

You make me wish I had a *real* HP calc :(
For the third time, I've had to replace the three 357 silver-oxide cells
in my HP16C calculator. That's probably very close to 15 years on
average between sets--not bad.
What surprised me was that one day, the thing was working nicely and the
next, it was dead--no display, nothing. A voltmeter confirmed the power
failure.
I suspect the cells get pretty near their shelf life in this
application. Is it usual for them to reach the end of their shelf life
so suddenly?

I won it. It resembles a Keytronic 5150, but has something like an rj11 (don't ask me how many conductors). Is it an IBM/K* internally? I guess I should have asked before I bid/bin.

Really? I was just opening the garage door wondering where I put my hip boots and shovel. And gas mask.

I'm afraid that Thom went out of business quite a few years ago and
sold his warehouse full of DEC equipment. I never found out who
bought him out. I enjoyed visiting and crawling through the place
though.

I keep telling you people I haven't smoked plants in decades if there seems to be a residual smell it's just probably the oregano I had my pizza
Go back to pretending you're Tom Cruise flyboy.

The Tandy 2000 tech manual even included circuit board artwork. IINM IBM's extensive documentation didn't have that. They did include rom sources though, which Tandy didn't.
I've seen a fair amount of tech manuals. It's hard to beat these 2.
