La Bowmar 901B n’était pas “smart”, mais elle était révolutionnaire : LED rouges, touches Klixon, et un cœur Texas Instruments.
Un ancêtre lourd, cher… et absolument mythique.

SOLD, wow, that was fast, thank you

hubby's health has improved (yay!) & he got an energy burst that inspired him to clean up his shelf of collectibles

he asked me to sell one of his items, a vintage ham radio transceiver w/ antenna tuner &SWR meeter, if you collect or restore vintage electronics /vintage radio, check it out

A photo of 3 1960s/70s style vintage ham radio electronics on a green screen. The transceiver is on the bottom, on the top is the open antenna tuner which offers access to the coils, on the top right is the SWR meter. They are clean, which hints that they mostly sat on his collector's shelf after young Roger broke up with ham radio to go with computers. Photo by Peachfront, this is our actual kit, do not use this photo to sell your own stuff!

Yeah, that's some vintage #FirstPersonCamera gear here...

Way before #Glassholes were a thing.

Who's got any tips on why the colour saturation on this little 7-inch TFT monitor is so poor? It was originally built for use in the broadcasting industry, I think, with its BNC and S-Video connectors. It could be twenty years old or more.

It's a RON-6070. I've opened it up to see if there are any obviously failing electrolytic caps, but they all look good to me.

What do you think? What else should I check?

(The image is otherwise clean and stable. I've been using the S-Video input with an Atari 140XE which has correctly saturated output over the same interface and connector on a different monitor.)

A snap of the little monitor. It's very utilitarian, in a black metal case. It has a stand which can be mounted on a pro camera and a metal shade, not shown.

A wide shot of the monitor with the back off, for orientation.

A close up shot of one end of the board. It's all surface mount components. It looks clean to my uneducated eye.

A close up shot of the other end of the board. It's all surface mount components. It also looks clean to my uneducated eye.

Suddenly a loud bang from the lab at the local #hamradio club ‼️ 💥🤯

Luckily nothing happened to the people in there, but I guess it’s safe to say that this vintage capacitor decided to quit its job 😂

Always wear safety glasses 🥽 when testing and troubleshooting #electronics, especially if it’s vintage gear where you have no knowledge of its state and health☝🏼

it also looks so pretty on my audio visualizer ECG :33

A bit of careful soldering, fresh capacitors, and another classic saved from the bin.

Was digging under my desk tonight and found this old Supreme 333 Analyzer. Eventually it will be cleaned up and have a beautiful dark panel and the wood treated and waxed. After that it will be tested and parts replaced if necessary. I have no use for it so will be dragged to a local ham radio flea market next fall. I will post an image after it is detailed. It will be pretty.

Thinking about picking up a vintage iomega Jaz drive to transfer some old stuff i still have. #storage #VintageElectronics #JazDrive

How rad is this. This ahead-of-its time r/c transmitter was released in 1990. Not only does it still work, it’s still being supported 35 years later. I just installed a new processor to allow it to run an aftermarket fw with more memory! #RadioControl #VintageRCSociety #VintageElectronics

An Ace MicroPro 8000 r/c transmitter, held in my hand.

#Memorex System 650 manufactured by Pioneer and sold by #radioshack @dallin #hifi #vintageelectronics

This was a doorbell camera thingy at one point in time. Now it's "Ding Pong", as Simon Augustin gutted it, inserted one of the Sony portable b/w CRT TV (watchman I believe) and hardwired the most common Pong chip from back in the day into this thing (General Instrument AY-3-8500 if I'm not mistaken). It's a two player device, but you can play alone as well. It's quite special and I like it a lot, and it's pretty unique. The stuff that this guy comes up with ... crazy. He's also one of the few guys who knows the Interton VC4000 inside and out, even working on another new game for it. Anyway, thought you might like the Ding Pong. Cheers!

Found my old #zip drive. How big were the disks? 100mb? Still got a #syquest drive somewhere (80mb?). Even had an #LS120 drive way back. Long gone #pc #Mac #vintage #VintageElectronics

Does anyone have a #Motorola #Iridium9505 (not #9505A / 9555 / 9575(A)(PTT)) charger / charging cradle / dock / serial adapter or can give me the #Pinouts for said #connector?

Kinda need to charge one, ideally without having to remove the battery (which is at least tool-free accessible!) and hooking it up to a benchtop power supply for CV/CC-charging...
