Hi all, does anyone know of a source for the plastic handles on DEC Flip Chip
modules (single, double and quad)? Magenta would be great, but really, any
colour would be acceptable, if magenta's not available. (And no, I don't want
to salvage them from otherwise useless cards!)

how about other bad cards or unidentified off brand custom cards that have
no home, I have seen re-purposed tabs before.

Is source available somewhere? I'd like to study your techniques as I
eventually want to do something similar for an IBM 1410.

The 8/A's power supply, RL02's and RX01 is all working fine (knocking on
wood)... so far, no return of the dreaded Power OK "flicker". Maybe it
really is fixed this time.. Famous last words, I know!

There's a surplus place here in Orlando that has a bin full of dec style
handles in white. Google skycraft surplus. Their web site doesn't do justice to
the store. You never know what you will find. I got an 11/23 with dual rl02
there a few years back. It's Orlando's second favorite attraction ;
Very interesting. I must do an end-of-training project this year involving
Rapsberry Pi devices. Perhaps I'll give it a try.

I just called them, but they couldn't find them? How long ago was it that you
saw them? If recently, can you describe where it was in the place t

Sorry, I should have said RXV11, not RX11.
I'm going to be working on my 11/730s power supply, so I'm in the
market for an ESR meter. I've seen some (older) recommendations for
the AnaTek 'Blue' and various 'Dick Smith' derivatives. However, eBay
is flooded with knockoff Mega328 based ESR/Transistor/SCR/etc. testers
all looking like:

Ken,
I don't have personal experience with those but I can tell you those would only
be good for the smaller electrolytics and not the big ones in the power supply.
For those you will want an older capacitor tester made for big caps,
Hallacrafters, Heathkit and Solar made ones that would go up t

This is the one I have used for years.

The maroon handles? do you care if they have #s on them, or blank?
How many do you need?

That's neat ... I promised myself I'd finish my 6502 SBC before I moved up

My aim is much simpler ... just "deposit", "examine", "fill", ... Looking

Never used one on a power supply but for motherboard capacitors and misc
parts they work fine. For the price they are worth having around.

Ken,
I have two of the Atmega328 uC based 'swissknife' testers you mention, cost
about $25 ea. on eBay, and have been exceptionally happy with them. They're
a brilliant little piece of instrumentation, and IMHO no electronics
hobbyist should be without one. For quick testing & ID of SS components,
I've been monkeying around with Oscars amazing PiDP8 replica the last few
weeks, attempting to get a cool demo going for the local hackerspace, to
show what computing used to look like.
I've managed to this point to get 2 serial terminals (a DEC VT102, and a
Morrow MDT-60) running at the same t

I'll take a look some time this week.
How many do you want?

Thinking I had an easy solution to the missing outer slide, I ordered a $40
pair of new heavy-duty rack slides from eBay. Beautiful pieces and
ball-bearing slides, decent quality hardware too. Only had to drill a couple
of holes in them so they'd match the drive chassis, mounted everything up,

How many do I need, or how many do I want? :-)
I'm tempted to buy the whole bin (unless it's like a 55 gallon barrel :-),
and hold onto them for other CCTalk people who need them.
Maybe this will work: if you find them, point them out to the s
