Hi all!

I'm thinking about going up to VCF in Wall next weekend. I haven't been 
to it since it was the Trenton Computer Fest (think late 1990's) so I'm 
not sure what the protocol is on tailgating, trading stuff or whatnot. 
Appears that they have a "sale room" you drop things off in with prices. 
Ok....

Things I could "sell" if anyone's interested:
HP1000e computer, dead power supply, basic boards, no advanced memory.
HP9825B likewise does not power up, but it's there.
Microvax 2 boards, stuff like that.
Spare 11/24 CPU boards (I have a bunch, all work, no idea why I have all 
them)

Stuff I could bring to get out of my house and into the right hands:

Big box of pdp12 schematics. This came from my olden days when I had to 
turn up a pdp12 because it will not fit in a station wagon. Still it 
looks like board locations and a lot of 12 stuff. Big box, heavy to 
ship, easier to drive over.

Ton of pdp8/12 IO cables. These are the black circular wire ones, I 
think negibus. There's also some posibus ribbon cables but I'll save 
those for my 8/L's. If you need a set, let me know.

Stuff I'd trade for:
AF01 A/D converter. I don't have Negibus anymore, but I did check/reform 
the power supply and hooked it up and things do light up. Bunch of extra 
channel cards (I think it might have all 64). Would trade for a memory 
box for an 8/L.

Back to unearthing BLT.AI.MIT.EDU.......
