Conservation issue - shrink-wrapped manual

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Evan Koblentz > 1. How rare/valuable is the item? Moderately rare, not very valuable. > 2. What else might be inside the package? Nothing - it's clear shrink-wrap around a loose-leaf manual. > 3. Will opening it cause any damage? No. > 4. Can you store it in a suitable way after opening? If I open it, I plan to store it in an original DEC three-ring binder.. :-) > From: Fred Cisin > OTOH, if you want to SELL it When it comes to me and PDP-11 stuff, 'cold dead hands'! :-) Noel

10 forgotten wonders of 1980s homes

by trash80＠internode.on.net

May be of interest to some list members - appeared, of all places, in the property section of a local newspaper - the Commodore 64 gets a good mention but I suspect list members might remember (or reminisce) over the other 9 too or as well. http://www.domain.com.au/news/10-forgotten-wonders-of-1980s-homes-20151217-g lpoof/ ++++++++++ Kevin Parker ++++++++++

Wanted: Specific Mallory cap...

by sales＠elecplus.com

http://5970.iso-group.com/Public/Search_Results.aspx?ss=10X2000 There are in stock here, according to their site. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Bill Sudbrink Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2016 11:52 AM To: 'General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts' Subject: Wanted: Specific Mallory cap... Hi all, I am in the process of restoring/recreating a linear PS as part of a project and I would like to use the original parts if possible. I'm looking for six Mallory axial electrolytic capacitors. The physical dimensions are 11mm in diameter by 44mm in length. They have a clear plastic wrap, so the aluminum silver color shows through. The printing on them goes around the circumference (not end to end) and reads: +-M-+ 2000 MF 10 V 20-48923 Electrically, they are (were) 2000uf, 10 volt. My bet is that these are mil-spec versions of Mallory's TT10X2000 capacitor. They physically match some Mallory TT15X1000 caps that I have in my parts box. I've been "beating the bushes" for a while now with no luck on the "20-48923" part number. I've also contacted all of the web site owners that claim to have TT10X2000s. They have all come back with "well, we don't actually seem to have that part after all". If anyone has either of the above, I'll pay a good price for them. They don't have to be in operational condition electronically, I'll "restuff" them if necessary.

Floppy recovery

by cctalk＠fahimi.net

Anyone know anything about the custom computer and the custom OS? Nor implying anything but Chuck do u have any insights? ;) -------- Original message -------- From: jwsmobile <jws at jwsss.com> Date: 1/5/2016 12:27 PM (GMT-08:00) To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: Floppy recovery I wonder how it could take them three months to figure something out.? Maybe Chuck can comment. But over a year after they spent the 3 months.? Hmmm.? It will be interesting to hear what was recovered, though from what has been written and passed down about Roddenberry, I'm not expecting much. On a tangent, from a lecture 35 years ago by Harlan Ellison, I hope all of his papers are preserved and transcribed.? He had about 15 4 drawer cabinets of work notes at that time, probably double or triple that now.? I think at the time he worked manually as well. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/floppy-disks-star-trek-creator-182855583.html Thanks Jim
