Paul, the key switches look very much like this but on my unit the plastic stem is black. The cross piece etc looks to be the same. http://i.imgur.com/M8oFv0K.jpg -Original Message- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Paul Berger via cctalk Sent:

David, Do you know if the key switches used in these keyboards are the same as the one in the Nimitz keyboard?I have a two switches with broken stems, that I have glued for now but it would be nice to get replacement and a few spares. Paul. On 2017-05-27 9:45 PM, David Collins via

Random musing: VCB02 on VAX-11/750

So I had a random thought in the wee hours this morning and I leave it to you, the cctalk braintrust, to tell me exactly how stupid this idea is: I have a VAX-11/750, an Able QNiverter (UNIBUS->Qbus adapter), a 22-bit Qbus backplane, and a VCB02 (QDSS) 4-bit graphics boardset. Theory: With

You might want to contact this e-bay seller in HK http://www.ebay.com/usr/newtongarage He has interesting stuff. He is unreasonably pricey though. Marc From: cctalk on behalf of "cctalk@classiccmp.org" Reply-To: Christian Liendo

Re: HP 9836 systems and Fuji Pictrography 4000 printer available

Bob, I might not take the whole machines, but I could use parts. I am missing a few key caps/switches and a power switch on mine (the three of them which come... from you!). And extra IO boards are always welcome. Before you scrap everything, let me know if I can come on Sunday. Marc

RE: In Hong Kong any old computing places to go?

When I lived in HK (I moved back to Canada 12 years ago) you could get a visa to Shenzhen at the border. It was only valid for Shenzhen, but it only took about 15-20 minutes. You might check to see if they still do that. Otherwise, head to Sham Shui Po, Apliu Street is the local electronics

I have just looked into my two TU56 and all caps are leaking more or less. I need eight new capacitors. What happened to this group buy of capacitors? /Mattis 2017-03-06 19:23 GMT+01:00 Gerhard Kreuzer via cctalk : > Hi, > > will join a group buy, need caps for 2 drives

Although it is all new equipment, Wan Chai computer mall near Causeway Bay is worth a visit. I think it is on Hennessy Road. There are 100's of small stalls there, you can get some good bargains if you take cash and haggle. Mark Sent from my iPhone > On 27 May 2017, at 15:03, W2HX via cctalk

RE: In Hong Kong any old computing places to go?

If you ever have the chance to go to HK again, definitely also get your Chinese visa. I used to travel to China and I used to only get 3 and 6 month visas. But in the last year or two, they now grant 10 year visas which I obtained although I have no current plans to visit china. Although I

Re: In Hong Kong any old computing places to go?

Thanks everyone for the ideas, however I cannot leave Hong Kong and enter China. That requires a different visa that I didn't obtain and I don't have the time to travel that far.
