I've got a bunch of old stuff I want to get rid of. Much of it is squarely on-topic here; most of the rest is tangentially on-topic, and I hope the remainder can be forgiven. All this stuff is in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and is yours if you come pick it up. In theory, I could ship, but I suck at actually getting stuff shipped. Except as noted, these are functionality unknown. I don't _think_ any of these have been robbed for parts, but it's possible (least unlikely for the vacuum-tube devices). Details may be incorrect; at least two human-layer copies were involved in everything here and I'm tired, so miscopying is not at all out of the question. In no particular order: Two TK50 tape drives. These are just the drives, no controller cards or enclosures. One mechanical (not even electromech) typewriter. Aside from generic interest in such things, the major reason people here might care about it is that it has the C= logo prominently visible on it. (Not just a sticker; if this is an aftermarket addon, it is a very well-done one.) One arc-welding helmet. It is made of fibreglass and is somewhat cracked, but still entirely functional. Four SparQ 1.0 tapes. Contents unknown. A power supply. It is marked as a Sun 300-1047-05; it is Zytec-branded, marked as a ZYRISE 925W unit, Zytec part number 22903110. It is marked as being limited to 150A on +5V, 15A each on -5.2V and +12V, and 10A on -12V; the +12V is also marked "25A PK FOR 20 SEC". But it is marked as max total power 925W, and needing 60CFM forced air cooling. The connector is nothing I recognize; it's the kind of custom thing I'd expect for a PS that can push 150A.... One HP 211A, a SQUARE WAVE GENERATOR, serial #2707. This is test gear Two HP 202A LOW FREQUENCY FUNCTION GENERATORs. Based on the controls, these are capable of sine, triangle, and square waves from, IIRC, about .01Hz to something like 1200Hz. These also date from the vacuum tube era. An "ALLEN B DUMONT LABORATORIES" oscilliscope, model 304 H, serial 5484. An HP 400D vacuum-tube voltmeter. A Beckman/Berkeley model 5230 "UNIVERSAL EPUT? AND TIMER", whatever that is. The most visually notable feature is that it has four display columns with ten digit positions in each one, presumably with a lamp behind each position. Various magnetic media. Figuring most prominently are QIC tapes, TK50s, and 5?" floppies. Some of the "TK50"s might actually be some other tape in the same form factor, but if I had to guess I would guess not. Most/all of the tapes are in plastic cases; the floppies have paper jackets and/or cardboard boxes around them. Contents unknown, though at least some have labels. For the labeled media, I hope to get the labels transcribed sometime over the next week or so. If/when I do that I'll post the results. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
