Cold, dead, hands, etc, etc! :-)
But to be serious, those things are in really hot demand - I know Paul A
wants some more, I'd like a couple more, etc, etc. They aren't _that_
complicated - it shouldn't be impossible to get more built? Does anyone have
any expertise in this area, to let us know how/where to start?

Hello all,
I am trying to replace some rubber feet on a couple of items and it appears
the OEM used 3M Bumpons. I've been trying to find a source that will sell
small quantities but all I can find is one box minimum (which is a couple of
thousand!). I am willing to buy as much as a whole sheet but prefer less if
possible. Looking for models:
SJ5780 and SJ5023 both in Grey (not black).
The SJ5023 is available on eBay but not the round SJ5780s (in Grey).
Any help is appreciated. TIA!
-Ali

Subject line covers it; the M2372K manual isn't on Bitsavers (the 2382K
is, but it's significantly different) and all I've found is this
covering the basics, and I'm not 100% sure it's correct:
http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/hard-drives-hdd/fujitsu/M2372K-824MB-8-0-FH-HSM…
Anyone have this manual? Can you confirm that the settings listed on
stason.org are valid? I'm trying to get this drive to format using an
Emulex UD33 (UNIBUS SMD) controller, and I'm not having much luck. (I'm
also not certain that the 2372K isn't too new for the controller;
another place a manual would be of immense help.)
Thanks,
Josh
Hi Mouse - Yes we know that 545 scope and have one in storage to be
refurbished
If you can get it to we guarantee it will be loved and perch in the
display with the display of the scope.
Many Thanks in advance -

Ottawa (Ontario, Canada); I could pop it in the post easily enough.
Anyone?

unique keys? I am not sure of that Unless he lettered in CTL
looked like weird Mohawk data sciences keys or something.... I have

Hey there,
I'm currently working on a replica of Don Lancaster's prototype TV
Typewriter (pic here:
http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/unclefalter/media/20151011_125748_zpssu7yy
ujf.jpg.html?o=0 ) and I was wondering - does anyone know where the unit
that appeared on the cover (with the more refined keyboard) ended up? I've
asked around, including Don and nobody seems to know where it got to.
I'm also wondering if anyone knows a source that might have the keytops
that
unit used or something close (I understand they were made by Mechanical
Enterprises). I've enough parts here to build two or three TVTs and I
thought after I get the prototype replica done I might go for the cover
unit, esp. if it no longer exists anymore. But I understand those keytops
were kind of a one off deal for that article.
Thanks!!

Cute. So that demonstrates that the results of that one election are accurate, but it tells you nothing about the later ones. And the claim that the paper is "unnecessary" shows either ignorance, or dishonest intent, on the part of the person making that claim. After all, you have no way to know whether the later machines are still honest, just because the ones used in that one election were.
