THINGS I WANT TO BUY / TRADE FOR REPLY TO: c-bristol(a)usa.net From: Chris Bristol, a private party. All items are in Los Angeles, CA, USA. Reason for sale: moving overseas. All prices are very negotiable, and trades possible. ** COMPUTER ANTIQUES for your desktop or office wall, *********** ****************************** "an emerging collectable" ******** CORE MEMORY BOARDS: These are very pretty after you open the covers and show off the core planes. This type of memory was invented by Jay Forester of MIT in about 1955. Some of my boards are from MIT from my college days. The "1" or "0" is stored in little donut about 1 to 2mm in diameter--one donut per bit. Each donut is threaded by hand with two wires, one in the X axis, and one in the Y axis. This makes something that looks like a weird SciFi fabric. Then the fabric "planes" are stacked about 1/2 deep total. The thousands of hair-thin wires were hand assembled, generally by oriental women. Each wire connects to driver IC's and transistors, and control logic. This memory was non-volatile. These boards are mostly 16Kbytes, some 32Kbytes. They have pretty gold contacts, from the days before about 1968 when gold was thick and fixed at $20 per ounce. They were made for the PDP-11. Many of them work fine, if you have a PDP-11. Hang it on your wall in a glass case, to show you are not wet behind the ears in the computer business. Every computer museum should have one. $50 per board. HUGE FLOPPY DISKS, 8", Drive for this (DSD RX01) is below at $95. Put one or two of these 8" floppies on your wall, adding a 5 1/4" (also available) and 3 1/2" next to it. 8" floppies for $9 each, light to mail. PAPER TAPE: I have two paper tape readers, both work I think. I got one while at MIT, and it was built by an MIT company back in around 1960. It is all aluminum and stainless steel, very pretty. The other is a more normal factory made unit. I also have some fan-fold paper tape for these. My paper tape is software and diagnostics for DEC PDP-11's. $25. IBM CARDS: "Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate" they used to say. These have Fortran and other programs and data on them. Some cards have UCLA logo. $25. VERY BIG TAPE DRIVES, like you see in the movies. $130 for two, see listing under "PERTEC" below. Also, see below "DECTAPE", a very funny tape drive. In operation, both move back and forth all the time. The perfect atmosphere for your Cyber Caf?. Or buy a whole PDP-11 and display it, and maybe operate it. **** COMPUTER EQUIPMENT: ************************************** *IBM STYLE OR CAN BE USED WITH IBM: **************************** TAPE CARTIDGES, have about 30, $110 all obo, 3M DC-600, DC-300, DC-300A, 80 MB capacity, large 5" wide cartridges, many new shrink wrapped.
