Trade List
Items Wanted
Here is an incomplete list of things I am looking for, in no particular order.
- Items for my DEC VAXstation 3100 Model 38:
- Bezel for TZ30 tape drive option, 74-37501-01
- Color monitor, VR160 (preferred) or VR290 (big!)
- Color video cable
- DEC-branded BNC tees and terminators with plastic overmold
- Ethernet loopback plug
- External SCSI cable, 68 pin to 50 pin, BC09J-xx
- External SCSI terminator for the 68 pin plug
- Caddy-loading SCSI CD-ROM drive with either DEC external enclosure or proper bezel to install it in a VAXstation 3100
- LK401 keyboard with US layout
- DEC LA75 printer
- Teletype BRPE punch, especially one for 1 inch 6/7/8-level tape.
- Teletype DRPE punch.
- A VAX-11/725 system. I have an 11/730 already, and I’m really curious about the 11/725’s RC25 drive.
- M8018 KUV11 Writable Control Store card.
- DEC VT220 terminal.
- Aluminized printer paper for my Racal MA-4233 printer. Referred to as “electrosensitive paper” or “metal paper”, I believe. It uses 60mm wide rolls of approximately 42µm thick paper on a plastic core of around 12mm diameter (though the core isn’t critical in this printer), with a very thin aluminum coating over a dark paper substrate. While exact drop-in rolls would be great, I’d consider any wider size which I might be able to cut down, as well as large rolls or sheets of this kind of paper for use in my AN/TXC-1 facsimile machine.
