Extra Repair Workshop August 1 & 2nd (this coming weekend)
I'm going to do an extra repair workshop this weekend which will be combined with the VCF West Watch party. I'm thinking that we can put a projector onto the screen in the CDL classroom and display the show all day on Aug 1. For those that want to use 9032-A, there is a screen there and we can setup a projector in that room as well.

We are still going to have a repair workshop on Aug 15 & 16. -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member, VCF East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey@vcfed.org cell: 732-759-1783

Sorry I bumped into the date on this with my sale. Its the only weekend I could do it as I'm moving and needing to deal with this stuff on a short schedule. I can accommodate our members on an evening before or after the weekend so they can come to the VCFE event and come by my place another time.
No worries Doug! It’s possible that some will pick up from you for someone else and have Infoage be the pass off point. So there could be some benefit of having it the same weekend. I hope that you can sell lots of your stuff.

Hey guys, don’t forget if you want to watch VCF West live and work on some of your projects at the workshop, then you need to sign up. Believe it or not, I will actually be there all day on Saturday and not just swinging by for an hour or so. I finished my “Honey Do” list so nothing will be keeping me from showing up.

Hi friends-
I'm getting lots of questions why I'm doing this sale expressing concerns about why. Thanks for the thoughts! I'm moving to O.C.N.J and taking the op to thin out the herd. (OK, how many of you had Bil Herd flash to their minds? We're sick pups)
I'm not leaving the hobby, but changing tactics. I went thin and wide for the last 7 years. Its been a thrill to touch a lot of things that I only read about back in the day. But Its a challenge to know something about everything. I'm barely scratching the surface and got backed up very far on restorations. Now I'm going to go narrow, maybe deep, we'll see. I have some difficult restorations to do, mainly restoring badly deteriorated PET 8032s that I pulled out of the M.O.S. basement. Speaking of PET 8032, if someone wants a very special great condition working 8032/8050 system that belonged to a C= executive, let me know. (Its this system running Visicalc https://abitoutofplace.wordpress.com/2015/04/30/visicalc-on-a-pet-8032/ <https://abitoutofplace.wordpress.com/2015/04/30/visicalc-on-a-pet-8032/>) I'll likely concentrate on C=, TRS-80 Model 4, and a few single board computers.
On the sale, I'm getting moderate interest. I've gladly sold some things to folks that are going to do the systems justice. A ways back Glitch got my NJ Pegasys system 8" CP/M machine and terminal and deep dived- and fixed it. A philly guy just bought the SD Systems project machine I've had for years and is going to restore it. Some of the items will likely carry over to some upcoming VCF even in NJ. It won't hurt to have some cash to spend on the boardwalk... That's the plan.
Cheers! -DC
