LOL! YOu gotta be talking about Joe Barkley! I bug
Joe about HP stuff
everytime that I see him! I got a 1000 from him last year at the Orlando
hamfest. Over the years I've bought a fair amount of test equipment from
him plus HP calculators, HP-IL stuff, a couple of HP 3468s and more.
Joe's a hell of a nice guy. But I'm to the point that I don't even have
to look for HP 1000s any more. After you acquire a certain critical mass,
similar systems just seems to find their way to you on their own! That's
happened to me with DEC stuff, Tektronix systems, HP 1000s, and more
recently with Intel Multibus stuff.
Yeah, it was Joe Barkley. He really did seem like a hell of a nice guy.
He said he'd keep an eye out for me on HP1000 boards.
He had a lot of HP test equipment and tons of Tektronix systems.
