I couldn't resist buying this...
[img width=512 height=288]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/DSC_1199.jpg[/img]
"Maybe you just want a keyboard with big keys because they look cool" How did they know!?
[img width=512 height=288]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/DSC_1200.jpg[/img]
[img width=512 height=288]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/DSC_1201.jpg[/img]
Regular keyboard for scale...
[img width=512 height=288]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/DSC_1202.jpg[/img]
I have the wrist rest for it too, but the clips for it seem fragile and a part has snapped off so I won't be using it.
I also have this. I'll be installing it today before this Preview build I'm using expires tomorrow.
[img width=512 height=640]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/DSC_1206.jpg[/img]
It's so tiny!

Hey now,
I almost forgot about this place... but then a few recent pickups jogged my memory.
[img width=700 height=265]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/el%20score%20071816a_zpsfs9mc52r.jpg[/img]
Flanked by a TI-83 Plus and an HP 12C Platinum, is a "micro bug detector" set that picks up RF signals from possible eavesdropping devices and hidden cameras.
[img width=351 height=768]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/el20score20071816b_zpsql9cxja8.jpg[/img]
And now, a little something for the super-hardcore retro electronics mavens...
[img width=550 height=578]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/el20tubes201_zpslbe34bej.jpg[/img]
...a lot of over forty assorted boxed vacuum tubes.
[img width=671 height=550]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/el20tubes202_zpskg82t5rq.jpg[/img]
Sadly, unless I buy some fairly expensive test equipment, there's no way I can fully test these to see if they work properly or not. The best I can do is use a multimeter to check if the filament(s) inside are still connected.
BTW in case you care, I'm old enough to remember when the local Thrifty (now a Rite Aid) drug store still sold vacuum tubes and even had a tube-testing station. While the Thrifty ice cream stand has made a comeback in several local Rite Aid stores, I doubt the tube-tester will any time soon...

Wow, nice tube assortment. I remember the TV at my grandparent's house used tubes.

One of my earliest memories was of dad changing out tubes on the old TV.
ANYway, I got them primarily for resale. There's a fairly sizable group of vintage electronics collectors who'd appreciate having fresh vacuum tubes for their stuff...

Hey now...
Grabbed me a nice stack of number-crunchers for about $20 all told:
[img width=700 height=528]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/gadget20101316_zpsdhuzufjr.jpg[/img]
That's four Calculated Industries Qualifier Plus IIImx real estate calculators, and a CIB Hewlett-Packard HP-32SII programmable RPN scientific calculator.
Sooo... whattaya think, Nupes? Don't pretend you don't lurk this page when a new post is added...

What?!? Pssh....No.....I don't.....uh, I mean those are nice calculators and all.....
I've gotten some here recently too.
I was going to wait until a little soldering got done on the red led Ti so I could show it off. It has a loose power connection, no big deal, easy fix, just haven't been around the soldering station much lately. The case, power supply and manual are all there. It's actually my second red led calc, yay! They're so neat. I should put them next to my Vectrex.
Can't actually claim the red "adding machine" is fully mine. It is effectively in my possession though. It works pretty good, though obviously meant for youngins. The correct word is 'vintage.'
The three bottom ones I got today, need to dig up some batteries for the Toshiba on the bottom right. Not the best way to show them off but you did call me out and all Zag

When I was taking this picture, my wife and her grandma were in the other room, I hear wife say, "I'm going to go see what my husband is up to" so I make like I am doing something insidious when she gets to the room and quickly put these all away going, "I'm not doing anything! I'm not playing with my calculators!" Wife says, well you'd better at least be taking pictures of them to show them to Zagnorch."

Love that "vintage" adding machine. I've seen a couple of the red LED calculators around as well. Sadly, anything electronic around my parts at thrifts is auctioned off these days.

Oh, there you are, Nupes! I was worried there for a moment. But hey, no need to worry 'bout me; check out my latest stack of tech-swag!
let's start with the usual suspects: a trio of TI-83-plus graphing calcs...

So, after years of checking every multi-CD changer I finally found my first Laserdisc player, a nice Panasonic LX-H670, and Goodwill only wanted $4 for it! Thank you Goodwill.
[img width=700 height=393]http://i.imgur.com/jt8549U.jpg[/img]
I just plugged it in and tested the tray, it works fine. Now I need to hunt down a Laserdisc to really test it. My thrifting trip is going to take me to this little second hand store in a small town around me, saw some LD movies there a few months ago.

Need to fix my tray. It get a message of "Off" when I power it on, so I presume it just needs to be re-aligned.
