Possibly OT: I'm looking to acquire a LaserJet 4V
by Joseph Giliberti 10 Oct '22

10 Oct '22

Hi Guys. The aforementioned printer is probably old enough to qualify as whatever vintage means these days. I'm looking for a workhorse LaserJet 4V or another vintage LaserJet capable of handling 11x17 paper. I want to be able to print tube radio and EM pinball machine schematics without taping together 20 pieces of 8.5x11. continuous feed would be even better, but those are expensive and big. Please let me know if you have such a printer you can spare. Thank you. Joe Giliberti

Not sure how many folks are into the Motorola line of processors from the 70's & 80's but Peter Stark was popular with his software Star-KDos and other things for the boards.

VCF Swapmeet
by Sentrytv 09 Oct '22

09 Oct '22

I just would like to say that I think that the swap meet was a very successful event! It seems that the vendors, at least most of them, were selling much of their stuff. I know I did come home with “a pocket full of money”. I sold some big and heavy items. I didn’t sell everything I wanted, but that can be done at another time. I would like to see pictures also and maybe somebody can tell me where to post some. Even though I don’t have many. Thank you Jeff and all the people involved for making it in worthwhile. I observed some people turning away from entering the swapmeet from what I assumed was the entry fee cost. Please correct me if I am wrong.

remex tape reels?
by W2HX 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

Hi friends. I recently acquired a remex "director" 3U tape reader. I'm looking for two reels probably around 5.25" in diameter and will hold 1" 8-level tape. Anyone either have a pair or know what supplier would have such things? Picture attached. 73 Eugene W2HX Subscribe to my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/w2hx-channel/videos
