@tubetime Is it loud enough to tell the whole neighborhood what you're watching?

@tubetime my timeline again reminding me that I'm missing it! If only I was better at calendars than mastodon

Rob Flickenger ⚡️ replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime The world needs more machines that feature “FOCUS” and “INTENSIFIER” knobs.

Elosha replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime I guess it‘s a not-so-sub-D connector 😏 (sounds funny but could be true, as sub stands for subminiature)

Aaron Huslage replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime I don’t think that’s a sub. Just a D

@tubetime for the discriminating computer restorer bored with Varta juice and RIFA stank and in need of a new challenge!

Pol Roca

@tubetime Not the same as "Nuclear waste found", which I had read at a first look... 😅

Henning Paul DC4HP

@tubetime Made me wince because "Fund" is German for "find"...

Fritz Adalis

@tubetime
I had that Inwin case! The white ones at the bottom of the pile. Great case.

@tubetime Some of these should have been buried years ago. :-)

@tubetime this would have been a feeding frenzy on the east coast.

Ben A L Jemmett

@tubetime Ah, an A-1. Marvellous piece of work for the time!

Kevin n3ka

@tubetime every time I’m there I have to resist the temptation to setup a retro mac as a 2m packet setup to remind me of my 300/1200 baud days :)

Joe Pasqua

@tubetime I’m sorry to miss the last one. Good hunting.

Sheldon Chang 🇺🇸

@tubetime holy crap! I had no idea this was here! When does it resume and are the retro-computing items mostly for parts only or do they also have working collector worthy units?

Tube❄️Time

@sysop408 see electronicsfleamarket.com/. the retro computing stuff is a real mixed bag, some broken, some not.
