Chris It may be time to bring your “stuff” to the VCF swap meet! I guarantee that I will look at the items that you bring to the swap meet. Mike Rosen Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

Hey Mike,
I have one of these DTs available for you. Pretty sure it's a DT-1 however it is stuck in a compacted area of our garage and will take an hour or so to unearth it. I did find just now a xerographic copy of the Owner's Manual for a DT-1 up in my attic library, so that makes me very sure it is a DT-1 and not a DT-100.
I'm not too far from you up in Jamestown, NY. Let me know if you may be interested. I think you are in or near S.C., PA.
For the rest of our group: I have helluva LOT of stuff of which must be downsized, so I had to compact some items stored within the garage into a very tight pile in order to help my wife setup for a huge garage sale back in late June. Still took up about 30% of a two-car garage. And that stuff is only a SMALL part of what I need to get shed of found in the attic, basement, my office, and stuffed-full second garage at the back of our property. A lot of it is early computer items from the late 80s and early 90s for classic PC stuff (back in 2004 I bought out a household sale of remnants from somebody who had a small computer business (and why the heck did I even DO that??)) and some non-PC stuff including DEC PDP-11-related items remaining from The Great DEC Rescue I did back in July 1998, a virtually complete IBM 9370 system (basically, it is a System 370 in CMOS, as it was touted back in the day), a Wang PC-XC3-3 system with 5 1/4 OS and diagnostic floppies and its specific monitor (ca. 1987) and the PM101 IBM Mono Emulation interface (some sort of IBM PC compatibility module), plus industrial control stuff and other electronics and crap which really should be recycled. Don't get me started on all the antique radio and WWII military radio stuff and early electronic test equipment stuff mixed into those storage areas I need to sort out, too :-)
So, I'll be posting occasionally to this list about some of the above mentioned relevant stuff.
I may bring a carload of stuff down to NJ during one of the upcoming VCFEast events or etc. My wife just retired (I did myself in March of '24), so we're into traveling to discover new things to see in our retirement.
Thanks, -Chris F.

I'm still looking for a TRS-80 DT-1 or DT-100 terminal. If anyone has one for sale or spots one at VCF Midwest, please let me know. I'm in central PA.
