As of, at least, yesterday (May 4th) there's a fairly clean (except for the decaying foam in the lid) Tek 496 at RE-PC in Tukwila, WA (600 Andover Park East). Condition unknown, it's sticker priced at

Indeed I do. Those are actually made by at least three different companies: Tyco/AMP, Hirose Electric and Molex. They're 1.27mm pitch on the contact spacing, and DigiKey has a generous selection at th

Well... I couldn't get to tekwiki.org for some reason (something about a security certificate). However, I have uploaded the TDS field adjustment software collection I have to KO4BB's site. I don't kn

I'll follow an earlier suggestion, and upload it to TekWiki. ;-)

I think I can help with that, Jared. ;-) https://ln5.sync.com/dl/4c26d9a50/yec8iex9-n972d668-h4puu6tm-r8kxxqsu I'll leave the file up for at least a week, in case others want it. Happy tweaking.

Ordered one a minute ago, just because I like to support the museum. ;-) Going to see if I can come up with a nice enclosure for it. Best of the holidays to all.

Fellow Tekkies, I'm on the tail end of my annual run to the Bay Area, and one of my acquisitions is a Tek 1503C TDR. The unit's in outstanding electrical/cosmetic condition, and even has a good batter

Which archive? KO4BB's site? A link would have been helpful...

I'm having a techie garage sale this weekend, Tek stuff included. Care to make a road trip to Kent? (Washington, southeast of Seattle). And yes... Missing swap meets and surplus places is a huge part

Heh... Practically on top of me. That being the case, I hope you'll have time to swing by. Thanks.

Eegad... Walter, I've been through two major fires in my life (fortunately, no damage or injuries with either one). I know what this is like! Stay safe, stay well, best wishes!

Southeast of Seattle, WA. Here's a map reference. https://goo.gl/maps/EQ3r7kjCLaFnnXPh6 Thanks.

My apologies for the goof, but I was off on the numeric dates for my garage sale event. It should have read Sep. 4th/5th (Sat/Sun). Corrected flyer at this link: http://bluefeathertech.com/TechieSale.

For those in or near the Puget Sound (WA State) area: I'm having a 'techie' garage sale on Sep. 5th and 6th (Sat/Sun, two days) from 09:00 to 17:30 PDT. The City of Kent is southeast of Seattle, near

And, I saw the reply, so it really is working! Thanks, Jim...

Please pardon the brief test. My whole domain was down until today, and I'm still verifying things. Thanks.

Fellow Tekkies, You find the darndest things when you're cleaning up. In this case, it was a clean reproduction of the operating and service manuals for the Ballantine Labs 6127B O-Scope calibrator. I

I corresponded with them about a month ago. At that time, most likely reopening will occur in late September. They -are- coming back. That much is definite. Just don't know when.

No worries. I've since located the manufacturer of the board, and got a user manual. As for the SSD, I have some already. It'll be cheaper to do a PATA/SATA adapter than go for an actual PATA SSD. Tha

In case anyone's interested in following along with my inspection and preventive repair effort... Thanks to some advice by nj902, I've done a close inspection of the electrolytic caps in the under-cha
