Museum Report 2017-07-22 July 22, 2017
by Jeffrey Brace 23 Jul '17

23 Jul '17

I'm late with yesterday's museum report. About a dozen or so visitors, from casual interest to very interested. Some of them were still there from the Ham Radio event at InfoAge from 8am to 12pm. The flow of visitors was steady, so I kept busy throughout my time there. Bill Dromgoole is docent there, so I finally get a break from being docent. I'm like there every weekend. Thanks Bill! -- ======================================================== Jeff Brace ======================================================== <https://www.avast.com/en-us/lp-safe-emailing-3176-b?utm_medium=email&utm_so…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/en-us/lp-safe-emailing-3176-b?utm_medium=email&utm_so…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Stranger Things season 2 trailer - Commodore 1702 monitors?
by Christopher Gioconda 23 Jul '17

23 Jul '17

Hi everyone, This evening I watched the new trailer for season 2 of Stranger Things (Netflix) , and I'm pretty confident that a bunch of Commodore 1702 monitors were used in a scene approx. 1:06 in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgS2L7WPIO4 For those who may not know the show, it's set in the early 1980s and is extremely faithful to the time period in terms of plot and props. Let me know if I'm completely off, or if I just happened to recognize something. Thanks! Christopher Gioconda

Free - DC-6150 Tape Factory Sealed
by John Heritage 23 Jul '17

Does anyone have a need for a Factory Sealed DC-6150 Tape (Maxwell Brand)? I held onto this for too long due to nostalgia (loved backing up my BBS do this size tape.. Although I think I mostly used the 250 MB models..) If you want it, just let me know. I'll ship free or if you feel like paying for the stamps after you get it, you can Paypal me after receiving.

Hello again! I posted last week that I had come across a US Robotics 56k modem. Someone here had been looking for a serial modem. This is your last call before it goes back to the dump.
