LOL at the Turbo Future link for reference pricing... I'm also surprised the person didn't mention that the $20 bills must not be in serial number sequence.

OT / Project work
by Martin Flynn 12 Nov '22

12 Nov '22

Thanks to the efforts of Ken Gober and his wife, the following projects were completed * The 10 GB fiber optic cables to buildings 9032A/9032D are now supported by a 1/4" steel messenger cable. Both locations include an additional copper cable for analog telephones or teletypes. * The 10 GB fiber optic cable to building 9093 (the guard shack) is supported by a 1/4" steel messenger cable. The location include an additional copper cable for analog telephones or teletypes. CDL is requesting assistance with the following: 1. Running a 12 strand, single mode, fiber optic cable from 9059 to 9010B. A portion of this is aerial, we will rent a man lift for this work. The balance is routing the preterminated fiber optic cables through holes that InfoAge drilled, and lay it across the ceiling joists. http://compdecon.org/media/9059_to_9010b.jpg 2. Running a 6 strand, single mode, fiber optic cable through the attic of 9010B out to "Broadway" and into the 9036B attic, again via holes that InfoAge drilled.. http://compdecon.org/media/9010b_to_9036B.jpg As the pathway includes several 90 degree changes in direction, we will need helpers to assist in routing the fiber optic cable without damage. If you want to get your hand dirty with projects that will advance the VCF mission (data in the VCF warehouse anyone...) Please reply off list with your availability in November / December Martin Flynn

Repair Workshop tomorrow
by Jeffrey Brace 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

For those coming to the repair workshop tomorrow, please check in with me to pay the repair workshop fee and receive a blue wristband. InfoAge is getting more strict with security so you will need to have a wristband to be identified as a paid visitor. If I'm not in the repair workshop area on Saturday, then I will be at the InfoAge front desk (or floating around). On Sunday if I'm not in the repair workshop area, then I will be in the museum area or floating around. Thanks! ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity https://vcfed.org/ <http://www.vcfed.org/> jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

Main Street Bar & Grill Closing!
by Jeffrey Brace 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

“The great burger place” where we have had many dinners after repair workshops is closing! This place was one of the few places that we could bring a large group with a few hours notice. We were also able to get through Covid times going to this place which had enough room to be away from others. Here is an Asbury Park Press article: https://www.app.com/story/entertainment/dining/2022/11/10/nj-restaurants-ma… -- ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity https://vcfed.org/ <http://www.vcfed.org/> jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

This is the 2nd LGP-30 in 3 years or so, there is always hope more will surface. I did extensive work on re-writing the bootstrap for the LGP-30, as a fun project. You have to save to the drum memory so one has to learn how to save data in the right place/order on a drum for it to work efficiently.
