Re: [vcf-midatlantic] update: "modern history" exhibit
Here is what we still need: - small calendar - address book - stand-alone radio - pocket dictionary - directional compass - ipod (doesn't have to work -- we have one but we're using it for another purpose) - roadmap - Gameboy - photo album - credit card (how do we get one with a fake number?) - remote control for a TV - small portable TV (we may have one in the warehouse, I'm not sure) - answering machine - thermal-paper fax machine
I definitely have an answering machine. 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...

If you're using an analog/film camera in the display, then you may want to add a video camera as well. I do have a standalone radio, one of the Radio Shack Patrolman radios with am/fm/sw/uhf. I could bring for the display. On Monday, November 14, 2016, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Just the machine, thanks. I will email you the address to send it

And of course a plain lined notepad. ;) On Monday, November 14, 2016, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
