What a weekend!!! day -1: Thursday. Helped a friend dig out and load stuff to take to the hamfest. Found and bought two Osborne computers. One turns out to be an early Osborne 1, NOT an OCC-1. It has a display but appears to have a bad capacitor in the power supply judging from the ripple. It got all the original manuals and software with it. The other machine is an OCC-1. I had previously found the software and manuals for this one so now it's intact again. This one works great! day 0: Friday. Hamfest starts but opened earlier than on previous years so I get there after they open. Eveything is picked over but I still manage to find a new in box Survey ROM for the HP-41. Also included is a 41 battery holder, one manual and some other bits and pieces. Later I find a new in box HP 71B. Also in the box was a brand new HP-71 ROM from Pratt and Whitney that is used to determine where to place weights to balance an H-60 helicopter engine. Also got the instructions for the ROM. The odd thing about this 71 is that the box has a label that says that it is a "Computer, Fire Control". That's the name that the US Army calls the HP-71s that are used as a backup system for computing artillery fire. I have the manuals for that system along with a bunch of the ROMs and several (badly) used HP-71s. This is the first time that I've seen one of these 71s NIB. This one is in PERFECT condition. Day 1: Saturday. LOADS of good finds this day! Frist, a dealer friend of mine says that he has a surprise for me and to come back after he unloads. I return later and find that he has two HP-41 CV calculators for me (Yippie!). Both are in the cases and have all the accessories. They're also the later half-nut models. One even has a survey ROM in it. Go to another stand and find that the guy has a VAN LOAD of books from the estate of a farily well known author in electronis, J.A. (Sam) Wilson. I spent SEVERAL hours going through all the books. I eneded up with TWEVLE large boxs of physics, mathematics, computer and engineering books. Too many GREAT books to describe some some of the highlights include Mick and Brick's book on Bit-Slice CPUs, loads of OLD DEC manuals, loads of '70s data books, a Heathkit ET-3400 with ALL the manuals, Intel manuals for the MDS systems and lots more! Check another stand and found a manual for a Tektronix 4596 Graphics tablet for use with the Tektronix 4051 computer. Then I really find a a goodie! A Zenith Z-100 computer in great condition and with the built in hard drive for $10! Later I find a brand new in the box HP Thinkjet printer with the HP-IL inteface. I also picked up a "Intext" model XK-300 Microprocessor Trainer made by Elenco Electronics Inc. Does anyone know anything about these? It looks similar to the Heathkit ET-3400 but has a Motorola 6802 CPU. Day 2: Sunday. Things are slow today but I still manage to score a nice RS-232 analyzer for $1. Also found another boxfull of books! One in the great finds is a copy of "The Complete Motorola MicroComputer Data Library" printed by Motorola in 1978. This is a THICK book and it describes ALL of their EXOR-bus cards and systems along with all the other EXOR-TERM systems and other items including all of the cards that they made for the DEC systems. It also has data sheets for all of their digital ICs. It also lists all the software that they sell and all their Developement systems! This a great reference manual! I also find two HP Electro-Optics catalogs Spice series of calculators. I've never found that before. The second one describes in detail the display system used in the HP 35 and other classic HP calculators. Both of these are going to be very handy! The only other sgnificant find is a Remote Relay Actuator and sensor control box that's operated by RS-232. Well that's the highlights. Now I have to go clean out the car. AND my truck. AND my buddy's van! They're all full! Joe
