I will post more photos of items sometime this week if they look of interest here. I don't know what is left, but it may be interesting. I'm helping another list member obtain an item from the sale, and can look at the other stuff if anyone is interested. thanks Jim

Flexi-bit PUNCH

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I'm not in the habit of bringing my photography projects here, in fact this might be a first. I'm hoping someone might recognize this, or at least have an estimate as to when it was made. I'm guessing somewhere between the 1950's and 1970's. Google is useless, the only thing it found, when I looked, was this photo, twelve minutes after I'd posted it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zanes-photography/16504361399/ Zane

HP 9100B not functioning after shipping. Suggestions welcome

by dfnr2＠yahoo.com

Hello, I recently acquired an HP9100B which was working before shipping, but on arrival does not respond. The fuses are intact, and I can hear the power supply humming on power up, but there is no CRT output, and I cannot activate the error light (for example, by STOP-CLEAR-/ to get a divde by 0 error.) The register label backlight also doesn't light, but apparently did not light before shipping, when the calculator otherwise worked. I have Tony Duell's excellent schematics, which I'm grateful for. I also have a service manual, and plan to go through it, but it seems a bit short on theory and detail. I'm not in position to swap out boards. I haven't been able to check it out in depth yet, but this week I will be able to spend some time on it.? I have, however, done some basic inspection, and reseated whatever boards are accessible without a screwdriver.? This didn't help anything.? I didn't hear any rattling from the CRT, but haven't yet pulled it out to inspect it. My plan is to start out by checking the power supply voltages, clocks, and move on from there. However, since apparently something changed during shipping, I'd be interested in any suggestions that would help inform a smarter investigation. I am hopeful it's not the CRT, as I would expect a bad CRT to not interfere with the error light. Any suggestions or guidance would be very much appreciated. Dave

date representation standards before ISO 2014 and ISO 8601

by spacewar＠gmail.com

In a lot of contexts that predate widespread adoption of ISO 2014 and ISO 8601 (and their relatives), I've seen dates represented in a form such as "02-MAR-79" or "02-MAR-1979". This is similar to the RFC 822/1123 date format, except that those RFCs don't use a hyphen between the components, and use mixed-case for the month. Was there ever an official standard defining such a representation?

HP 7970E mag tape brackets

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I was just informed that the "new manufacture" mounting brackets for the 7970E are ready. I saw them at about 90% of the fabrication process being complete and they looked really good. Today I'm going to stop at the hardware store and buy a set of bolts/nuts/washers that match the originals (got them there before so I know they have the right ones) so that I can ship each one with a baggie of the "right stuff". I will probably have them shipped out to the people that wanted one by the end of next week-ish. If you were one of those people that confirmed you needed one or two, please email me your shipping address. Best, J

by useddec＠gmail.com

They also dug up some BC01W-25 cables that I thought were LCG cables, which I have some here somewhere. According to the option module list they are for Bell series 303 modems and work on the DP8-EB, DQ11, and who knows what else... If interested, please contact me off list. Thanks, Paul
