I've gotten tickets to an upcoming one of these, and besides a couple of items which fit their profile, am thinking of taking at least a small board or so to see what that does with their appraisers. anyone have any experience with them. This is the US mob. I'd never consider doing it with the UK ones. they want stuff from the 19th century or before, or WW2, etc. I am taking a sextant and a platinum broach. I have what I think is a Dec trainer board I'm going to take. i doubt taking any minis would be more interesting than the dec trainer. If they don't know that is a bit rare, then anything else they would say about other items would probably be useless. I'd like to see more scientific and computer, calculators, etc., on the show instead of the crap they sometimes have. Seems like everyone has a Tiffany lamp, or a bit of scrimshaw to show (fake and plastic, respectively). I was advised in an email that oddball stuff had shorter waits. Only guarantee is to get into the filming room where the appraisers are, and get stuff appraised. Will report back if there is anything useful that happens. Jim

Looking for: Sperry/Beckman SP-333 (gas discharge display)

by dm561＠torfree.net

----- Original Message ----- > Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:39:32 -0700 > From: Josh Dersch <derschjo at gmail.com> Since we're 'comrades-in-arms' I was especially hoping to be able to help you out, but alas, although I have some NOS .55" 5-series displays the only .33" 3-series I have are the two-digit SP332s that you already have; I assume you don't need any more? Why not check out the various places that advertise having SP-333s; can't hurt to ask for a quote... I believe Heathkit also used these, although I don't remember which size/type; might be worth inquiring on one of those lists. mike

Need DG TBOOT and FIXUP

by steve＠stephenmerrony.co.uk

Can anyone send me a copy of TBOOT and standalone FIXUP for late versions of AOS/VS for the MV DC series - ideally 7.71 or 7.70? My MV/2500 is now loading its microcode OK and passing diagnostics, but the system disk is corrupted so I can go no further until I either locate a copy of the System Media or at least the above two programs.

pen plotters?

by nojay1＠gmail.com

I was Googling for information on the control codes for an old CalComp 1042 PCI roll plotter we have tucked away and found your 2007 message about possessing a copy of the technical manual with, I think, the command set for plotters like this. Do you still have the data and would you be willing to share it with me? Cheers.

RS232 signal chracteristics

by ard＠p850ug1.demon.co.uk

Chuck (I think) mentioned that he had never seen a proper specification of the RS232 (or whatever) signals. I think CCITT standard V.28 is much the same thing, and it can be found at : http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_tbr/001_099/002/01_20_63/tbr_002e01c.pdf It certainly seems to have reasonable descriptions of the signal electrical characteristics. -tony
