Hi,
The "2" key on my VT52 is very hard to use. You've gotta pound it and you
might get 2 "2"s for your trouble.
I assume that the keyboard switch is made of unobtanium (If you know of a
substitute chime in) so I'm thinking of swapping it for the "COPY" key
which I guess is useless unless you

I need (1) of the 8/32 x 1 3/8 captive screws that are at either end of a
unibus backplane to mount it to the chassis.
I've looked online and not only are they expensive (~ $10.00/ea) but you
have to order 5 of them at a time.
I'm hoping that there's someone on the list that has one to spare
There's another option if you're near Manassas VA (roughly DC area):

Look at the pictures. It's in sad shape but if you look closely it looks
Does anyone on the list have or have seen the stand that DEC sold with the
VT52? I'm just curious; does the stand screw into holes on the monitor or
does it just sit on top?

Tom,
Ditto. Could you supply links to these doc

Hi,
I bumped into an old friend of mine today. We both talked about a pair of
machines we worked on that no longer exist as far as we cant tell. They
were both Adage machines and had the same base digital architecture. Their
names are Ambilog 200 and AGT-30. The Ambilog was the predecessor to
Hi,
Is there a doc anywhere that breaks out the individual weights of various
PDP gear?
In my case I'm looking for the weight of an RK05 and full height 19" DEC
rack.
Thanks,

Nope, but I was behind a dude In Los Gatos Saturday with the license plate

Hi,
I've got an 11/40 I'm going to start working on. Problem is that there are
two power supplies (H742 and H7420) that came with it but neither was
mounted in the rack.
Could someone post/send/etc. photos of how the power supply mounts in the
rack? Also how is the power cabling routed (I
The problem would be the non-standard track size and number of tracks.
However if at least one of the head's paired tracks is good you could
potentially cut the drive current in half and double the read amplitude and
just use one track for the affected channel.

8 track tapes use 1/4" wide tape. Most 8 track units use heads with only
two tracks implemented. There was a stepper solenoid that moved the head
down (or up after all 4 stereo programs were played). Growing up in the
60s you never forget things like listening to In-A-Gadda-Da_Vida fade in
