Some changes in my daily routines has led me to part with the System 8000 in a partially restored state. However I have put it into good hands. Usagi Electric has the machine now. -Casey

@duewix Thanks for the barter opportunity, your UpSquared systems are on the way, I sent them 2 day priority. -Casey

Well, there was a silver lining today at least, my Nabu PC showed up in perfect shape. -Casey

Done, I was pretty sure I did that already, I suppose I didn't click save.

I am located in Charlotte, NC. Halfway to anywhere on in the east, lol.

Previously, I worked for a systems engineering firm and we packed everything in expanding foam. I would just buy a few from the shipping department. When can't get my hands on the packets I cheat, I use thermal seal bags and expanding foam in a can. It isn't the cleanest way of doing it...

10/10 I should have known better, but all of the Model 3's listed locally were priced at or above 550.00. I bought the ebay unit for $200. Although it's probably a wash once I repair the bezel, clean out the surface rust on the shielding and buy a new CRT. Lessons learned. -Casey

Normally, I agree with you. UPS did a number on my Zilog S8000 M20 shipment as well, also 8n dispute. I tend to drive up to 220 miles or so for local pickups if I can, but wasn't an option for the mini-computer or the Model 3

The packing job was actually better than most. It was cocooned in 1/2" diameter bubble wrap and the sides padded with additional folds of 3 layers of bubble wrap. Unfortunately, there weren't any additional precautions taken internally to the Model 3. I try to use expanding foam packets when...

Good Morning, I thought I would share my latest casualty and put out a request for a new to me at least RCA 12VCLP4 CRT. I purchased a Model III 26-1062 via an ebay auction. In the Auction photos the CRT was intact. It was only missing the 'C' keycap. I needed a CRT for another Model III so...

Sweet, looking forward to the DM! Thanks for the hookup! -Casey

Looking for a Teletype Model 33 ASCII Terminal and punch tape reader. Also any Zilog S8000 M20 parts.

IoT Systems Engineer, but mostly a systems engineer with a Nerd love for all things vintage computing and communications related. From Teletypes to ANSI Terminals and more.

@Al Kossow and All: BTW: After some googling around I found this excellent reference collection on a german site. Oliver Lhemann's Excellent S8000 and P8000 Research Page. http://www.pofo.de/S8000/ The user has created some great modern drawings of the schematics for the Central Processing...
