Hello Jay,
In the highly unlikely event that you get no interest in decvax.org I would be
interested. I do an occasional blog and keep thinking it would be good to have
a place to collect DEC VAX information. I think others are more likely to be
able to dedicate more time to it, so give it to a
I was there 1980-1984, I don't ever recall using a 7600 though, I thought I used
a CDC Cyber 172 (or 170 or something similar). It is possible I may have some
records buried at home, but I am away at the moment and they would not be easily
accessible. I have to re-arrange a lot of stuff over Christ
If FedEx is the only option then I think that may have to rule me out, shipping
to the UK would be prohibitive. I had found a good rate with Parcel Monkey, if
that is an option then I am still keen.
Thanks for your help!
Regards
Rob

I have two failed Corcom filters in two DEC Rainbows. I see some spares
available in the US, but shipping to the UK is likely to be prohibitive and I
would like if possible to find a modern equivalent. It is this one:

As a child I remember getting a shock from a fridge and being "thrown"
across the room into the wall opposite. I really did crash into the
wall quite hard, so I can imagine it being very easy for the shock to
cause other injuries.

I can't say I know for sure, but I did replace all the electrolytics on the
video control boards of both my VT101 and VT102, because there was a
definite wobble to the image on both terminals. Replacing all of them fixed
the wobble. As I have posted before, I did this after testing each

It is always hard to know the real story. It *is* possible the seller
genuinely didn't know what they were doing. I know I can be too willing to

Would love a VT125, is shipping to the UK likely to be expensive?

Yes, I saw that on The Register today. Pretty impressive. I think it should
be called a DuellProcessor. :-)

I have an RRD-42 already, but a spare would be nice if shipping to the UK
wasn't too expensive. Any idea how much it would cost?
Thanks

I wouldn't mind running a file through runoff either, or building the
Pascal code that was mentioned. It would be a good excuse to do something
with one of my machines.
