Evan suggested I post a hello and background not sure of length or detail is the norm,, so here goes Retired a few years ago but still on the board of directors after a 45 year stint with a local electronics manufacturing company doing DOD work. during the 45 years did everything from testing, QA, engineering and plant manager Prior to the 45 year stint was in the USAF working on VHF, UHF and teaching then a couple of DOD manufacturing companies working on SSB transmitters, Radar, Sonar and microwave.,

During the 70,s at work used the Apple II and later the Mac during the 80,ss and at that time started using the commodore 64 and Radio Shack 100 at home latter moving to the 128 and then building IBM clones from parts bought at computer shows. Now all I do is just buy them ,too many as per my wife. .

Presently have a small collection of vintage computers around 25 which I am sure is nothing compared to other members of the group. But I am looking forward to meeting others in the group who share my interest in vintage computers.

My only other interests outside of family and grandchildren are short wave radio and occasional riding on my Can Am trike.

Welcome Tom! I’m right down the road in Bricktown. Knowing your background with VHF and SSB I may need to call on you to help when we have a problem with those installed on our fishing boats!! (I wouldn’t do that, retirement should be enjoyed!)

It’s nice to see another enthusiast in the general area (and even closer than I am to the museum!)

My main interest is Apple IIs through the early compact Macs/Mac II machines so any questions, items you’re looking for or help with machines don’t hesitate to ask!
