Sadly, no word from the owner since I forwarded the warehouse pics to him, and sent over a digest of interested people from the replies. If he was really interested, its not hard to join our list Interesting to look over his stuff, but if he's sold anything I've not heard about it. Todd Kill

This last batch with spreadsheet was not from GA, it was from St. Louis. So all the stuff you saw Todd, is pretty much still there. The heat is killing them, almost literally. The temp in the warehouse reaches above 115 this summer, and it is making the workers sick. Rich did say he reached out t

If you are looking for terminal keyboards, you might subscribe to the RSS on my site, elecshopper.com. There are about 10 different terminal boards there now, and I usually add 20-30 items more per day (although not all keyboards). All of the RSS feeds are available at https://elecshopper.com/rs

Is MS-DOS, PC DOS and DR-DOS vintage enough to count?

2016-07-28 Thread Liam Proven
I'm experimenting with some old DOS versions, notably PC DOS, in VirtualBox. I have a PC-DOS 2000 system with DesqView and DesqView/X working fairly well -- no networking yet but I'm working on it. I am also trying to get a DR-DOS 8 VM up and running. DR-DOS 7.03 is no problem, but I've had no jo

Thanks Jay! I enjoy helping old things find a new home. It is amazing to me what goes to recyclers! I also participate in at least one of the "dreaded" keyboard forums. Why are they so dreaded to you guys? I have found them to be fantastically helpful! Cindy -Original Message- From: ccta

the value of old test and repair equipment

2016-07-28 Thread Electronics Plus
I had to pass up a large qty of old test equip at the recycler last time because they wanted too much for it. For instance, an old HP signal generator would have cost me $25, with no way to test it, and no guarantees that it was complete or working. So my question is, does as-is old test and repair

I enjoy using vintage test equipment as well, but I'm not usually willing to pay more than $5 or $10 for a piece unless I know it works. Generally, the only time I'll pay more without testing is when it's an automated piece of equipment that included some computer interface capability as part of as
