Tampa Hamfest

I just got back from the Tampa hamfest. Besides all the odds and ends, I picked up a HP 9845 claculator, three old HP 2623 terminals, two HP 9885 8" disk drives, a HP 9878 system expansion box and 6 or 7 interfaces for the 9845. Some of the intefaces are brand new and haven't even been unwrapped. Also picked up a HP 7245 Thermal Plotter. A very strange item! It prints on thermal roll paper using a full width printhead but it does excellant printing and plotting. Other items of interest include a HeathKit ET-3100 digital trainer with manual, three IBM computer technical reference manuals (IBM convertable Vol I and II and PS/2 model 30) and a Tektronix 178 linear IC tester. I also found another manual for my Tektronix 4051 computer. This one covers the hardware for the disk drives. Also got some kind of I/O box for the 4051, I don't know exactly what it is yet. Also got four new manuals for a Tektronix digital trainer. I left behind a FREE & operable PDP 11/34 with expansion cabinet. I'm not real interested in DEC stuff and I didn't have room to haul it or to store it. I barely missed getting a very clean HP 45 calculator in the box with charger for $5. But a close friend of mine that's also a big HP fan got it so I'm not too upset. All in all, a pretty good hamfest! Joe
