To follow up. I emailed Red Roof Inn and they say that saying Vintage Computer Festival East should work. There should be no code.They suggest emailing them and asking them to call you if there are any issues: I0211(a)RedRoof.com It should be 20% off. Take care!

I'd be interested in the NEC but I wouldn't know what to offer.

Sale: CBM 1084 CRTs (3) and a NEC Multisync
by Ryan Stapleton 07 Apr '24

07 Apr '24

Hello All, I have decided to part with some CBM 1084 CRTs and a NEC Multisync 3D. 1 - 1084 - Powers on and shows a display. Have to hold the power button in or it turns off. 2 - 1084 - Powers on and stays on but the power button does not turn off. 3 - 1084s - Powers on and works without any issues. Missing front cover for controls. 4 - NEC Multisync 3D. Sadly does not power on. Happy to take some offers and will bring them along. The 3 1084s have been tested with my Amiga 1200. I do plan on being at VCF East in a few days. I am not entirely sure what they are worth. I want them to goto a good home and not just e-waste them. Feel free to send me a private message about them. Thank you -Ryan

Consignment shot-in-the-dark question
by Dan FitzGerald 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

I'm exhibiting a PCjr for VCF East, and have been getting it prepped for the event. It occured to me the other day to install a paintbrush program on it, and after I was done with that it occurred to me that maybe it would be worth having a color dot matrix printer to go with it, Does anybody happen to be selling a working, period-appropriate, color dot-matrix printer at consignment this year? (But not an ImageWriter II, I am looking for something that would have been hooked up to a PCjr). If so, let me know and what you're asking for it... if the price is right I'd like to purchase it and some ink for it and get it hooked up into my exhibit Regards, Dan FitzGerald They/Them or She/Her Classical Computing Laboratory at IBM-Poughkeepsie http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/dfitzger
