Re: Instruction video on laserdisk

I have a NTSC LD player AND a video capture device (or two). Located in the Seattle area. I recently picked up some Prisoner LDs and confirmed that LD player is still working. It did involve opening it up and blowing dust off of the optical sensors inside of it. alan On 3/31/18 10:28 AM,

I don't know where you're located, but I'm in the US and have an NTSC Laserdisc player. If someone can hook me up with a video capture card, I'd be happy to copy the video for you.

Ethan; I have owned both BA213 and BA215 microvaxes.  The one recurring problem I had was with the power supplies, H7868 I think the number is. Luckily, I picked up a couple of Dec Serv 550's which gave me spares and a PDP11/53 S box CPU. I was able to run the PDP11 in one of the VAX based BA

Instruction video on laserdisk

Today I received a PDP-11 instruction video on a laser disk, part 3 & 4. The disk partno. is EY-5537E-V2-0001, the title says 'Introduction to the PDP-11, Internal use Only, (c) 1988' Besides that, no indication if the video stream is NTSC or PAL. Anybody have a clou? I want to have the disk

towards a working PDP: Anyone has a PDP 11/35 or PDP11/40 panel for $$$ to offer?

Hello all, As I never came across a complete unit of an early PDP-11 with lights-and-switches console, I decided 5-6 years ago to figure out, if I can't build one of out of different parts. It seemed possible to get there if I focus on parts for a 11/35 or 11/40. 5 years ago, I came accross a

The size is just large enough to fit in a 19" rack. It's also possible that I don't have what it goes to. Here are more panels to puzzle over: http://imgur.com/a/8nJ5I In related news, I am missing the bottom panels for an RK05J. Never got it with the unit I picked up, nor the cards. I've been
