Best wishes. Of course you WILl have to tell us all the things you have done to 'knacker yourself on the way'

That right up there with opening a Volkswagen with cutlery - using the Fork Sprung Door Technique.

With a name like that it really should have been made in Wales.

Its only when you start putting CRT monitors in something you realise how small that something is.

Nice setup. Of course, like most things now, can be recreated in software - fronted by a modestly cheap SDR unit. Not as 'switchy' of course.

That neat little PET LCD/OLED ? display board was a good one !

Gosh, how long did the copy take on the ASR ?

3 Model 33 Teletype machines ringside in the 1976 Rocky movie.

nice - does it still have its cable hooks on the back ?

Wait. What ?

I'm going to stop following you and then follow you again so I can be the thousandth follower ;-)

Rather like Richmond 'sausages' are known as pink sludge tubes in my household.

My wife is making me watch all these old TOTP episodes too.

I'm worried you don't have enough tape to punch !

Didn't the BluTak keep it where you left it !?

I don't need 10 years to lose something I urgently need - 5 minutes usually does the trick !

The Billy has never looked so good.

I think so.
I tried to help you out a little.
Had a storage unit years ago but it got so expensive. Exiting it helped me to slim down my collection a little.

I have some original knobs for one of those somewhere. Had one years ago.

Gosh thats a monster - those are 8" drives right ?

Yeah, it is.

Oh, my mistake. When I looked at it on my laptop the board looked damaged. Now zooming in on my phone and it looks ok.

Convinced that's an Altair and matching disk drive on this evening's Six Million Dollar Man.

Is the PCB accurately reproducing some kind of battery leakage effect ? The mask (or something) looks a bit odd.

can I make a belt from one of these cables.....

yes, there seem to have been a few app specific keyboard variations on these. That aside, seems to be pretty much stock. Need to look into the little video controller breakout board., I can only assume it has a character set stored in that EPROM.

Superbrain QD up and running after a little cleaning, lubrication and some remote tech support - thanks @binarydinosaurs.co.uk

And here is the baby brother of the ASR33 - The KSR33.
Same thing minus the paper tape reader and punch and a few kilos of weight.
Its funny how you wait ages to get something then you end up with two in a short space of time.

At last ! The ASR 33 now up and running. Connected via a 20mA current loop to WiFi converter based on ESP32S3.

Tried that. Good luck. They will all be emergencies.
