These are odds and ends that I've picked up over the years but need information, parts, or something else to make them complete and/or operational.

I have four of these modular power supplies, model number S53P11-1A
made by Fortron/Source. It accepts 120 or 240 volts from a standard IEC
power connector and produces 8.5 volts at nearly 6 amps. It has a female
DB-9 connector coming out of the bottom (top?) of the case.
Does anyone have a pin-out for the output connector?

modules on it. I'm looking for documentation and driver software
for it.

I have three of these Executone CPU boards, each with a
Rockwell 6504 CPU. As usual, I don't have any documentation
or manuals for these boards, which appear to have come from
some kind of phone system.

This clock appears to be operating just fine, but I'd like to locate
a manual or other instruction book on how to set it properly.
Click here for more photos. |
This appears to be an electrically controlled power outlet.
I'd like to find documentation for the connector and the method of control. You can see more photos by clicking here.

I have a small box full of these little 4-inch by 3-inch plug-in
cards that have "Raytheon Computer" stamped on the side.
I'm looking for some history on these cards and the machine they went into. Click here for more photos and an inventory count. |

I'm looking for documentation and software for this card and
integrated circuit holder combination that appears to fit in
an old Apple 2 computer.

I'm looking for more information about this old processor
board made by Signetics.
More photos of the board are available here. |
I'm looking for more information about a pair of boards
I found, apparently made by MITS for an early computer.
More photos of the boards are available here. |

I'm looking for a manual for an Electro-Lab Design Console
that was used for a time at DeVry Institute of Technology
schools.
More photos of the console are available here. |

This is a model MP-2A (MP-2) made by Tokyo Tatsuno company.
It is some kind of card reader, but I have no documentation
on what type of cards, or what the pin-outs are on the
16-pin dual row connector.

I picked up several electronic lab-type pieces of equipment
recently that were perhaps manufactured by a Chicago company called
Stansi Scientific for use in educational institutions.
I have no other information about them.
These first two devices are pretty straightforward, a decade resistance box and a capacitance box. They appear to be very well made, constructed out of bakelite or a very hard plastic.
Any stories about what these might have been used for? Update: I received the following note from Tom Greenslade, a Professor Emeritus of Physics at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio:
The two pieces of apparatus at the bottom of the picture are resistance boxes. When the plug is out, the resistance appears; when the plug is in the resistance is zero.

I'm looking for a manual for this device.
I e-mailed the company that took over the Autogen product line (stoeltingco.com) and received this response: We no longer can provide information or parts on the old Autogen products. All of the manuals and obsolete parts were hauled to the dumpster four years ago. |

I picked this up at the 2002 Dayton Hamvention.

I have two boards that are stamped "Sequential Systems" and
appear to be for an Apple ][ computer, but as usual I have
no documentation or software for them.
Photos of these boards can be seen here. Update: I received additional information on these boards from a kind reader. Click on the link above to read his detailed response.

This appears to be a "computer-on-a-card" that operates
from an ISA slot. All I have is the card -- no documentation
or manuals.
I've put up a page with several photos and a brief description, which can be seen by clicking here. Any information relating to this board would be greatly appreciated.

Any documentation on these items would be greatly appreciated.

I have four of these Nixie tube assemblies but I don't have any
documentation on the pinouts or even what equipment these were
designed for.

I have an Alphasmart Pro with a display problem.
|
A vertical column of pixels in the third and forth row of
the fifteenth LCD column appear to be out.
Other than that, it's a neat little computer with a socketed ROM for easy updates. |
ICs on board:
The only external connection is a 20-wire ribbon cable.

I picked up about a dozen of these "download modules"
at a surplus equipment warehouse. They're manufactured by
Econolite Control Products out of Anaheim, California.
I have a pair of "The Chief" model headphones made by
the C. F. Cannon company. Does anyone know more about the
company or these headphones?

I'm looking for documentation on this device, which appears
to be able to output a standard video signal from some
kind of eight pin HP-HIL connector.

I have a Grid 2202 Disc Drive. It's black, of course, and
built like a tank. It accepts 5.25 inch floppies. It has
two connectors on the back, each of which can rotate 90
degrees. The connectors themselves are D shell but have
three rows of pins.
The copyright date on the bottom plate is 1982. I don't have the power supply for it. I'd like documentation for this thing, or at least to trade it for something I can use. |
This is a neat little data line monitor build by Hard Engineering
in Huntsville, Alabama (home of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and
SCI).
It has a full QWERTY keyboard and a single line LED display, along with a switchable "break-out box" to interconnect the data lines. It is AC powered and comes in a custom carrying case. Although I have the instruction manual, I'd be interested in learning more about the company and other products they might have built. Update: I received the following note:
Just saw your inquiry on the bytebug 625. I actually designed the unit in the early 80's. The unit was upgraded to a bytebug 645 that added T1/ISDN monitoring and Emulation. We sold the company to Tekelec in 1990 and they changed the name to the Chameleon 5. I just moved and threw out all of the old manuals as I was packing. I don't know anyone who supports this product anymore. |
Can anyone identify this?
I picked up this odd box at a thrift shop. It's about seven inches long by four inches wide and three inches high and has a single pushbutton mounted in the top center of the box. A plate on the bottom shows a Model 1628 02 (whatever that is) with a serial number of 7302 and a frequency of B 47, but no manufacturer identification.
UPDATE
In January 2002 I received this e-mail:
Does anyone have more technical information about this setup? |
An answering machine back from the time when Ma Bell
(there was only "The Phone Company" back then) would not
allow anyone to connect anything other than genuine
approved Bell equipment to their lines. (Check the
"Carterphone" decision to see the beginning of the
end of that restriction.)
The sticker on the back says it's a model number 1000TR-05, part number 201722, and is stamped Jun 14 1982. It is supposed to come with some kind of power supply that plugs into a jack at the top, right next to the modular line connector. Any ideas on the specifications (voltage, polarity, amperage) for the external power connection? Even better, does anyone have a manual for this thing? Update: I received an e-mail with the following information:
The power supply is 15 VDC, 500 mA, sleeve positive.
