After returning from VCF, a friend of mine brought me some stuff he saw
headed for the skip and saved it for me. Some of it is fun stuff!
1) DEI v.35 to RS232 Monitor Interface Adapter - this box connects between
two V.35 devices and presents a DB25 that can be connected to a programmable
data communications tester.
2) Two NAVTEL 75/1200 breakoutbox/testers - these cute boxes not only are
breakout boxes, but also do sync/async troubleshooting, bert tests, auto
format negotiation, etc.
3) Fluke 8920A True RMS Volt Meter
4) Teltone TLS2 Test Line Simulator - I believe this box simulates a telco
between two analog telephone devices (such as modems, etc.).
5) B&K Precision 1651 triple output bench power supply
6) THREE Tektronix 834 Programmable Data Communications Testers - these are
awesome, I was thinking about buying one, now I have three :) I'd prefer a
Spectron Northern Telecom Datascope2000, but hey, these were free :)
7) AMP MI-1 50 pin telco cable making tool
So... tell your friends to save you "funny looking electronic stuff", you
never know what you'll get :)
