I got one of these (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkgmAjE1ONY) arrived last night... With original box, manuals and even sales receipt! There may be a bad RAM chip... (according to the notes on the box...) Any ideas if I'll have trouble finding an appropriate part to fix it? (I've only had time to unbox it, not look thru the manuals or anything but thought I'd try to tap the collective intellect here to get some initial thoughts..)

Festivus Request: Lunatic Fringe on Macintosh
by Jeffrey Brace 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

I would really love it if someone could bring a Macintosh with Lunatic Fringe on it. Lunatic Fringe is an After Dark game. I can't remember if it came with After Dark or More After Dark. A color Mac would be preferable such as an LC II, but anything that works is fine. Who can bring it? -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President Vintage Computer Federation

Epson! Tandy! Full weekend report...
by Evan Koblentz 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Very good weekend at the museum! Yesterday and today were slow, visitor-wise, but we did lots of other great stuff. Saturday: I brought the Mimeo to the 4th annual Jersey Shore Makerfest. VCF table was busy most of the day. Educated lots of people about the history of Apple and about VCFed/InfoAge. Also got a good lead for a potentially interesting artifact. Today: Kelly organized our Epson collection and most of our Tandy collection. Before, the Epson collection took up 4/5th of one shelving unit and parts of two pallets. Now it's all on a single shelving unit and we put aside eight surplus computers that will be available at Festivus first, workshops (Jan, Feb, March, April) second, and VCF East (May) third. Here's a picture of the surplus machines. (We did not yet sort through the keyboards; no guarantee of those being available.) https://tinyurl.com/y7bh2nq5 No, we didn't leave them stacked like that. The stack was only for the picture. They're very safely in two piles of four computers each. Here is the newly pared-down Epson collection -- "Kelly not included": https://tinyurl.com/ycxgv8tr -- these are what we're keeping. On the Tandy side, before we had four over-stuff shelving units; now it's three, not counting the Model 1 and a CoCo (model 2 or 3, I forget which) both in the museum. I didn't get pictures. Surplus-wise, there are four of five CoCos (models 1, 2, 3). Thank you Kelly for your hard work today.

It's in Toms River, NJ (about 20 minutes south of the museum). Jeff B. will be our museum docent. I'm docenting Sunday while Kelly will be doing warehouse tasks (organizing our Epson/Tandy collections). I like productivity!

OT: Vintage Tektronix 465 Oscilloscope needs some TLC
by Bob Shuster 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

I recently picked up a non-working Tektronix 465 Oscilloscope - in great physical shape I might add - in the hopes that I might resuscitate it. My hope was that it was a fuse or the power supply, something I could deal with, but it is apparently more than that. Does anyone on the list have experience with these that might be able to help or otherwise give some advice? - Bob

Anybody recognize these boards?
by William Sudbrink 18 Oct '18

18 Oct '18

I was browsing through estate sales and came across this one: https://www.estatesales.net/VA/Arlington/22206/2040459 If you scroll to image 118 you will see some dusty/cobwebbed circuit boards, stored in a wooden "frame". Looks like discrete transistor logic. Also, a resistor sales/storage drawer set for OHMITE "Little Devils" a few pictures before.
