Museum of pinball goes to auction this weekend

[John Herron via cctalk]

Incase anyone hadn't heard or has interest, a lot of arcades will be on the
market for bidding this weekend. Sad but inevitable. Hopefully it's not all
reseller prices and can get into the hands of some other museums and
collectors.

Ouch, I would have loved to have visited that museum.  Looking through the 
auction catalog, I can easily see machines I’d be tempted to bid on.  I was 
really surprised to see 4 different of the 1971 “Computer Space” machines.  I’d 
love to see one of those in person.

HP 5061-3476: Which boards go where

[Chris Zach via cctalk]

Quick question: I've been cleaning out and repairing an HP5061 supply 
for a 1000 computer. However I didn't take a picture of the 4 boards 
when I pulled them and I want to make sure they go in the right places.


From the manual (page 99 of 92851-90001_Sections-IXB_Mar-1981.pdf) the 
slots are labeled A6-J1 through A6-J5. Does this mean that:


J1 is the
J5 is the control board (A3A5)
J4 is a jumper board for +12 adjustments
J3 is unused (battery backup boards)
J2 is the inverter board (A3A2)
J1 is the pre-regulator board (A3A1)

Seems right but I know how bad things can go :-)

Thanks!

vcfmw

[Paul Anderson via cctalk]

Due to health problems I won't be able to attend vcfmw this year.

I live just outside Champaign, IL, I-57 & I-74, about 2 hours south of
I-80, and 2 hours west of INDY. If anyone is interested in l buying
anything I should be home a few days before, during and after WCFMW.

Please email me with the time and day you would like to stop, and what you
are interested in seeing/buying.

I hoped to hang on to most things for a while, but I'm afraid I'm going to
start letting loose more and more.

Thanks, Paul
