FS: Tektronix TDS 320 Oscilloscope

All, I've got a Tek TDS 320 dual channel digital oscilloscope that needs to find a new home. Before it goes to eBay, I figured I'd check if anyone here needs it. Did a quick check with the function generator and it seems to be working and close to calibration. Contact me off-list if you're interested. Will ship, not looking to hold onto this particular item until VCF East though. Thanks, Jonathan

Museum report

Tons of visitors today from the train show. All families, including a large number of high school kids who were genuinely interested in the subject. Good day! Doug is docent tomorrow. Also: Wall Township installed new sidewalks to our building, the military vehicles building, the woodshop across the street from us, and the future building that'll be used by the shipwreck group also across the street from us. They put in an ADA-compliant ramp, too. I am told that railings will be installed in the next week or two. Some basic landscaping is also being done.

Warehouse days
by Evan Koblentz 14 Dec '18

Does anyone have a day free this month? The more people and the more days, the better! There is gobs of work to be done and we need a lot of help. Specifically I need volunteers who are energetic, can follow directions, and focus on big-picture VCFed goals. What's in it for you: glory, a sense of accomplishment for your work with the organization, and lunch.

Surplus books @ Festivus
by Evan Koblentz 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

We have too many books!!! Today I put aside 10 full boxes. There will be many more. I don't think much else will get done before Festivus, but we'll keep putting the pallet of surplus books out for perusal at the winter workshops. Same rules as at VCF East: $1/pound, minimum $1 charge, no fractional increments, and you only get the actual box if you buy a whole box worth. We'll need a postal scale to make this work. ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, executive director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit evan(a)vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation instagram.com/vcfederation

My company has a web site to launch but I'd like to hire a freelancer to finish and modify the template the customer chose for their revised web site. Looking for someone with the combo of WordPress implementation and design chops to assist with the launch. This is for a non-profit. Please contact me through my company web site, degnanco.net. Include recent example links of production WP sites. Include hourly bill rate. Must be available to start immediately despite holiday season, looking for a good 20+ hours min availability in December. If this works out additional opportunities may be also available. Bill
