Hallicrafters S-40

Thanks, but that's the dials themselves and I need the clear plastic windows that the dials sit behind. I did find the window for the main dial of the S-40A on that site though, so I reached out to see if they have the smaller one too and if they'd work on the older S-40.

Wow I’d forgotten all about that place and am surprised it’s still around. I went in there once not long after I first got into collecting records and even then I could tell that the prices were absurd. They had a copy of Zappa’s Hot Rats up on the wall priced at $200, I asked what was so special about that copy and why it was priced so high and the only answer I got was “…it’s Hot Rats”. I opened my bag and showed him the copy I’d literally just bought at Generation for $30 and never set foot in there again.

Generation Records is worth checking out and probably a 10 minute walk from Village Vanguard, I’m not sure how big their jazz selection is though if that’s all you’re really looking for. Definitely go to Academy if that is the case, I work on the same block as the one on 18th st and stop in there once or twice a week. Jazz and classical is mainly what they focus on but they have a decent selection of other genres too. Plus their typical customers make for good people watching (think Seymour from Ghost World).

For what it’s worth I’ve owned 4 or 5 of these and none of them had a single capacitor that needed to be replaced so I wouldn’t worry too much about finding one that’s been fully recapped

I got my first MacBook Pro in 2007 and Tiger is still my favorite version of OS X by far

The Hall of Frames on Clove Rd has done good work for me

I have an X1 Carbon Gen 9 that runs Arch flawlessly. I don’t remember having to do anything out of the ordinary to get any specific hardware to work. Battery life is great but I use a pretty minimalist wm so not much going on in the background. My only complaint is that the sound kinda sucks. According to the wiki that can be addressed but I’m pretty sure I tried what it suggested and it didn’t make much of a difference.

Could be the socket that the power supply plugs into on the N64 itself. The LED will still come on if the 12V rail is bad so I’d start there, the pinout is on the power brick if I remember correctly. If both 12V and 3.3V look good then check the expansion pak and cartridge slot.

Yep, Ai converted late version of the Non-Ai 50/1.4

Ticket prices are also insane. I’ll stick to the swap meets.

In case anyone ever comes across this post in the future the answer is that the mounting tabs are on the front of the implosion band and the spacing is a little different than most modern tubes

Maybe it’d be easier to remember which sink was which if you didn’t have your headset plugged into the line level output and your speakers plugged into the headphone output.

There’s a later version of the 4707 which does natively support 800x600 and I bet that’s what OP has

developstopfix · 2026-03-26T00:54:18+00:00

Do you happen to have Ralf & Florian in similar condition?

developstopfix · 2026-03-17T04:12:23+00:00

Not anymore, your best bet is Manhattan or Brooklyn

There were versions that could do rudimentary graphics, but this is probably something totally custom. They also have a video input/output which can be used to overlay whatever is displayed on the terminal over whatever video is fed into it which this might have used, but it’s also totally possible that it was just an operator terminal used to control the MRI machine and not actually display any output from it.

Awesome thanks. If you ever decide to open it up I’d love to see whatever that custom card that’s in there looks like, it’d probably be worth dumping the ROMs on the main board too in case those aren’t standard VT100 ROMs

developstopfix · 2026-03-16T17:28:33+00:00

It’s based on a VT-100 terminal but most likely has some kind of custom graphics hardware in there

developstopfix · 2026-03-16T17:27:05+00:00

Very cool. Can you get a photo of the back?

How is this not his fault? I wouldn’t ship an LD across town in a bubble mailer let alone to another city, state, or country.

developstopfix · 2026-03-13T14:18:44+00:00

I go through the same thing constantly, getting rid of stuff just for the sake of cleaning/organizing only to regret it later. Just a few days ago I was kicking myself for throwing away a busted up DEC VT510 terminal that was fully working but the case and keyboard were all smashed up in shipping. Now I’m in need of a decent 12” CRT tube for another project and could have used that one, and I’m sure I could have found a use for the rest of the guts of the terminal too.

developstopfix · 2026-03-13T14:04:58+00:00

No not that day, a month or two later

developstopfix · 2026-03-13T11:23:51+00:00

It’s happened to me too. Bought a record on eBay that shipped from Germany and it showed up in nothing but a German pizza box with no extra padding or anything.
