You can "notify" someone by including their name @jackrubin like that.

Also, you can PM him once you've posted a few messages - perhaps tell us a bit more about your PDP-8 and what you're hoping to find here

His Member Page is https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?members/jackrubin.371/

Or from his blog - https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?forums/jackrubin/

I don't know him sorry, so I can't offer more of a suggestion than that -

I'm from Perth, BTW, but I'm mostly collecting PCs from the early 80s and maybe one day the late 70s.

Don't forget to PM him if you want to speak to him directly, and also post this in the above so you can find if others have what you're looking for -

@terence ganly you might want to update your profile/tell everyone which part of Australia you are located, then contacts close to you can be suggested who could help.

Your post count is 9, one more and you can pm. (It's to stop bots etc)

If you have any issues with any of your project this is probably the best place to find help. There are some very knowledgeable people here. classiccmp.org Is another place, dunno if he's there. Would be interested in your altair 8800 and a imsai 8080 builds. Vintage builds, repro?

 

[terence ganly]

the altair and imsai are repros i also hope to build the joysticks for them i can make the boxs when i get the right measurments ihave all the tools for sheet metal work and have found where to get alot of the parts from fun fun
