Interested in restoring vintage computers, antique phonographs & antique tube radio, vintage audio and video machines and new and vintage scale models & kits.
At the @vcfederation workshop this weekend. I brought this terminal to work on. Ampex Dialogue 80. A little dirty. According to the note on the screen, it died in 1990. Unfortunately the keyboard connector is ripped off. No docs exist online so I'll have to figure out the wiring.
2024 is shaping up to be a very busy year. Here is a preview of a lot that is going on. Subject to changes, reply back if there are corrections or additions.

This one had a factory wiring error that wasn't exposed until an upgrade ovenized timebase was installed! Still a useful instrument.
@LyalinDotCom Sanyo MBC-885 "luggable" portable PC. 8088XT 8 Mhz processor, 640 kB RAM, DOS 3.3. Mine had a 20 mB HDD. Got my start programming by writing a series of batch files to zip/unzip app directories as I needed them to conserve HD space. 1990ish, I was 12. (not my picture)
This terminal was one of the terminals was used from 35 years in the department of Saudi civil affairs in Saudi Arabia.
