Apple Airport Extreme A1521
by Andrew Mattera 09 Dec '25

09 Dec '25

there was a fella that was talking to me at the October swap meet about how he could really use those Apple Airport Extreme towers to support his parents home network. I didn't catch his name or contact info, and I don't believe he took one of my business cards. So in hopes that you're on the mailing list, I've got three beautiful condition Airport Extremes that I'm hoping to offload. Contact me if you're still interested, andrew(a)gsappliedarts.com Thanks, Andrew Mattera

Justin, Thanks for letting everyone know about this. I'm not sure if you were trying to attach a picture, but FYI: this discussion list doesn't support attachments. It is necessary to have a link to any pictures or attachments.

For anyone running their own GPS disciplined NTP server: eBAY has a commercial grade antenna mount (search Andrew VC-GPSWM) for cheap, CDL is making adapters to put a PCTEL GPS-TMG-26N antenna (or clone) on this antenna mount. E-mail me if you are interested in the bracket, this will be a one-time build Martin

MDA Monitor
by Hopkins, Justin 06 Dec '25

06 Dec '25

Stumbled across this today. On the estate sales website, there is an estate sale in Upper Saddle River going on December 6 and 7th, with a picture of what I am pretty sure is an Smith Corona HRM2 monochrome monitor. It runs on the Smith Corona PWP module (which isn't pictured in the estate sale), but I also think it was compatible with Hercules MDA graphics cards used on the first IBM PC. That is a little far for me to get it and bring it to an event.
