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.

Silver-oxide cells lifetime

by cclist＠sydex.com

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? --Chuck

Northstar Dimension keyboard question

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

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.

And gas mask.

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.
