What if instead of all these fancy in-#train LCD/LED displays, we just used split-flap displays?

My inherited crystal box has quite a variety of odd and old ones. I must have a play with that big module which I assume is an ovened module.
#retro #electronics

A collection of different quarts crystals in varying odd packages; some are very old (big old black modules, one of which is labeleld CHANNEL 59, 25.9 MC), modern 4 pin oscillator, an ancient brown/red one labelled 8006(?).667 CHANNEL 63, two very tall but modern silver canned crystals, one marked FT-200, another marked 100KHz, a couple of small modern cans, and at the bottom a big module which is marked 8000KHz Q01008 which I assume is an ovened module.

Hi #retrocomputing #retro peoples, I've got an HP D510C/845G machine, part number 268899-999 that needs a CPU- everything else is in the machine except for the CPU. What should I get (including fans, and paste recommendations)?

I was #retrocomputing on modern hardware today. I bought some Jaz drives for moving files to retro machines. I could never get them working on the retro machines. Turns out two out of three drives were no good. So, that explains that frustration.....

A Jaz drive with disk sticking out and the case standing up on top. it is sitting on top of my modern Windows 11 machine.

Those 'conversation pits' from the 70s totally need to make a comeback
#design #architecture #retro #RetroDesign

A 'conversation pit' from the 70s, kinda red and rainbow, a circular type couch/sitting area in the middle of the room

Another 'conversation pit' from the 70s, kinda beige/tan- a circular type couch/sitting area in the middle of the room

A 'conversation pit' that's green and takes up much of the room

A 'conversation pit' that's red from the 70s, red, square shaped couch/sitting area in the middle of the room
