Do you need perforator tape for your teletype (Friden)?
How about some projector readouts? Nixie tubes?
I am cleaning out a few years of electronics from my
shop (actually I have decided to occupy my shop and
it is more trouble that occuping IRAQ.) I loaded up
my trailer and went to a ham swap meet.. I got rid of
a lot of antiques. I had a digital voltmeter that sounded
like a pin ball machine when you read a voltagke. Also
sold a voltmeter with Nixie Tubes.. I no more than got
home (with my 16' enclosed trailer with a 50' pneumatic
tower on the front) than I got a call . A friend who had
had a stroke was moving and there was just a couple of
days to finish cleaning his shop out.(they had been working
on it for several months) What was new an saleable, was
gone. I swear that almost everything I had sold at the swap
meet was there. The Nixies Tube Voltmeter has been replace d
with the companion Nixie Tube Ohmeter. ALL the teletype
machines were junked(he had a museum). One interresting
item was a Sencore Oscilloscope. It has about a 2" tube with
a wooden cabinent. It must date from the late 30s. Gotta find
a good home for it.

I'm in Phoenix Arizona and for those familier with the place, I
have a minature version of Apache Surplus.

The occupation is well under way, and There is a MAXNC 10
OL that is being uncovered as well as a Drill/Mill with Ah Ha
Controls. Also a couple of HP Plotters have been buried.
The archeologist should be here anyday.

LOL! I think I remember seeing that but didn't know what it was
called. Is that the thing that looked like an old "Tube" as in the
gizmo before the transistor?
