Interesting device on eBay -- CDC clock generator?
The seller thinks this may be a drum memory, but it is clearly not. My guess is that it is some kind of clock generator. Anyone recognize this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mainframe-Computer-Part-Drum-Memory-Control-Data/312942951497

I need a keypunch (briefly)
The Computer Museum of America in Roswell GA (400 miles) has 2 working 029s. Don’t know the condition of the ribbons. Contact Lonnie Simms via i...@computermuseumofamerica.org. Tell him his CA IBM benefactor sent you. I hope you have black cards. If not, let me know. Otherwise you could try http://www.kloth.net/services/cardpunch.php and print the JPEG on heavy stock.

Old Macs available
I am clearing out a storage space and will be offering up some of the old systems and miscellaneous peripherals currently stored there as I clear and sort things. To start with I have the following available. If anyone is interested or knows where else to offer the various items contact me off list. If I can't find anyone interested I'll probably just send things on to recycle as I need to clear and close the space. All of the following are base units, no keyboards or other external peripherals although I suspect there may be keyboards somewhere in the storage space but can't guarantee it. If I do find some I can pass them along with the units if interested. 1) Macintosh SE/30 - Appears to have some expansion card of some sort inside with with a 15 pin connector and what I think was a BNC connector? 2) Macintosh SE/30 - Has a ribbon cable coming out the expansion slot in the back but no idea what it connects to inside or anything else about it.3) Macintosh Plus 1Mb - This sounds like there might be something loose inside if you turn it over. All systems are in unknown state and unopened so I have no idea what is inside or what condition they may be in. Systems are located in Houston, TX. Contact me off list if you need any more info or interest in these systems. Thanks. David Williamswww.trailingedge.com
Re: 3850 media
Original lister has relisted the item https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-3850-media-cartridge-1970s-vintage/123603101597 And now one shows up in the UK. Same photos and description. Very strange. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113564749573 I have asked why his listing is identical to the other one. :-)

Re: IBM junk
Sorry, I know nothing about the panel on the left. My items were in California. I will check with recipient to see if I can mention them.
