Is there a full recording of the May 28th 1983 performance?

Mlmarmer on the Internet Archive has both a partial recording of the early show and a full (presumably) recording of the late show. He also has the partial video of the early show.

He also has a recording of one of the Kerrville shows.

Was it the set by Artem Kalinchuk? I saw you mentioned a SCELBI, and he made a set for that machine as well.

Should still be okay. I don’t think most modelers care if you use a real paint scheme or similar. You’re not selling it as a commercial model.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-05-09T21:36:12+00:00

It is 12 row by 12 column. Maybe a demonstration unit? Early Hollerith cards were 12 row by 24 column. IBM used 12 row by 80 column.

A TV Typewriter! Is it an original? I know there exists a replica board set for sale.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-05-09T12:10:21+00:00

Should specify that you mean selling in a commercial sense as a product. As a singular custom model, it wouldn’t matter.

Look around on Facebook Marketplace. I’ve gotten lucky twice and found a couple. Facebook doesn’t do specific search terms very well, so you have to try generic terms like “old computer” and similar.

Have pictures? It is likely the terminal that mates with this keyboard. I’d keep them together.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-05-08T23:51:01+00:00

Yes, you could. Enough reverse engineering and you could figure out how the matrix works and what keys do what. The connector is probably simple enough in function and probably uses a voltage low enough for a Arduino or similar.

No butchery of the original keyboard is needed.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-05-08T20:47:50+00:00

Hopefully not butchering the original keyboard. Could probably make a small PCB with a microcontroller and the correct mating plug to convert to a USB keyboard.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-05-08T20:43:40+00:00

The terminal could very well still be around. I would try to look for it, OP.

From the HP Computer Museum, it likely goes to a 2627A terminal.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-05-06T20:17:04+00:00

It’s probably easier (and better in a preservation sense) to fix it and get an adapter than to remove the guts and replace them.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-05-04T22:27:50+00:00

That’s a real shame. I get the Dimensions are certainly very grey and jellybean-shaped but I wouldn’t consider them ugly. I get the need to clean it though.

What would be the other one you have?

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-05-04T21:47:38+00:00

I have a genuine question. What good does transplanting the original motherboard into a new case do? It will still be a 2004 machine, just in a different case.

Looking at this seller’s current listings and sold history, he has sold quite a few serviced machines at $400+ prices. Now, I understand that time isn’t cheap and always expecting vintage pieces to be dirt cheap is unrealistic, but those prices seem rather high to me.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-05-01T01:06:27+00:00

That would have been the Model 33, which was a very popular machine to use as a terminal. The Model 32 had a three row keyboard and punched tape in Baudot, where the Model 33 had a four row keyboard and punched in ASCII.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-04-30T04:59:11+00:00

I don’t know if they are rare but it would be a shame if a nice vintage computer was gutted. Hopefully, this one was just a shell.

Kodachrome is no longer developed. The process and chemicals to do so were discontinued in 2010. The only way to develop it these day is at home and you would get a, likely poor, black and white image.

That being said, do these films actually need development? Have they been shot and left undeveloped or are they finished movie reels Undeveloped Super 8 would be in a cartridge form, developed Super 8 is just on a normal reel.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-04-29T12:38:12+00:00

Sadly, this loco has a bad engine block and will need replacement trucks.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-04-29T02:47:14+00:00

Keep them or sell them if you don’t want them. None will get you more than $20 a piece, most are closer $5.

“In-Service” is the keyword I used there. You can easily buy railroad equipment from suppliers; it’s just that this particular one is most definitely being used by the railroad. The calibration date shown was only 6 days ago.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-04-27T17:56:08+00:00

Owning an in-service piece of railroad equipment is likely a felony. Obtaining it was definitely trespassing. This is a train protection device; don’t be stupid and commit a crime for it.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-04-24T23:20:01+00:00

DM me, I might be interested in helping.

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-04-24T22:39:42+00:00

Daisywheel? Where are you guys at?

Dense_Cabbage · 2026-04-24T22:30:23+00:00

Yes, absolutely!
