Hi, I was a vendor at the Sussex NJ Hamfest run by Kelly's club. Usually I go solo which makes it tough to see the fleamarket. This time my wife accompanied me so I was able to do some bargain hunting and was able to score some vintage computer items. I found a clean working TI Silent 700 terminal for $10 and a KIM-1 for $20! I was told by the seller that the KIM-1 didn't power up, was DOA and was only good for parts. I was able to apply power to it last night, hit reset and it appears to be fully operational! What I think might have happened was that the seller mistook the SST ON slide switch as a power on switch and didn't realize you have to hit reset to wake up the board. It it an early Rev. B board has a white ceramic 6502, one white ceramic 6530 and a purple ceramic 6530. The board is in pretty good shape but the metal tops on the CPU & RRIOT chips have a good deal of oxidation. The MOS 6502 legend is still visible on the CPU but the RRIOT chip legends are mostly unreadable. The 5K pot used in the cassette circuit is very badly rusted so I may replace it down the road as it in very bad shape. I am very happy as I sold 2 KIM-1s many years ago and have regretted not keeping one for myself. I also have a SYM-1 so now I have to keep an eye out for a Rockwell AIM-65 to round out my 6502 SBC collection. Regards, Jeff

Jeff, I might have a Rockwell AIM 65 for you. I'll need to see when I can get it. I'm not sure of the condition of the thermal paper. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies

You can still buy it, if it's no longer heat sensitive. It's the same width as some of the Datel printing panel meters I've used in the past. Thanks, Jonathan
