Anyone have a spare IIc power brick? The one from Philly came without power supply. Prefer to pick up at Festivus get-together. Message with price or let me know if you're looking for anything in trade. Thanks, Jonathan

Festivus: Propane Grill Fix
by Jeffrey Brace 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

So I will be borrowing my mom's propane grill for Festivus. I cleaned the grill and the grease trap. I have a near empty tank and a full one. There is just one problem. Only one of the burners is working. My mom says that the second one tends to work after cooking for a while. Anyone have any experience in repairing these grills? -- Jeff Brace - ark72axow(a)gmail.com

I am happy to ship it to you (to InfoAge?) if you like. What about a PDA? (Palm Pilot) Or, does the "analog" (I would say "acoustic") calendar and address book convey the point better? I have a Palm Pilot I can send too... Walter ------------------------------ http://www.jwalterhawkes.com http://www.blatboy.com like to know where/when I'm playing?

Festivus 2016 Overnight Info
by Jeffrey Brace 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

*STAYING OVERNIGHT?* Let me know if you want to stay overnight. The cost is $25. You provide your own mattress cover, blankets, pillows. There is a shower area, lounge, kitchen sink, microwave, refrigerator, toaster oven, coffee machine for your use. To get an accurate headcount, let me know as soon as possible that you are staying overnight and how many nights. The last time I checked some beds are bunked bed and some are separated. In any case there are more than enough beds there for everyone. There will be coffee, milk, cream, sugar and tea bags available for those that desire it. There is an ice machine for cold drinks. Hot water can be made using the microwave oven. Or if you bring a kettle you can go outside to the kitchen truck and use the stove top out there. Evan will be in charge or separating the snoring people from the non-snoring people into separate rooms. -- Jeff Brace - ark72axow(a)gmail.com

Well then, I'm not staying over because there's no segregation from the farting people. :)

I got these recently. They seem to be pretty good quality. I think they are available in different sizes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/272214102768 On Thu, Nov 24, 2016 at 10:32 AM, Dan Roganti via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote: > think I found it > is this yours ? it's also 90cents > they call it 2mm, which isn't exactly 0.1" or 100mils which is 2.54mm, but > instead 0.09" > http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/pomona- > electronics/5936-2/501-1318-ND/737512 > Dan >
