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.
That's never a hard fix. I assume this unit works. I popped in my copy of Panzer Dragoon to at least test disc reading and the audio channels. They work, so its just the video output that's a question. Unplugging the cable and plugging it back in gets a response. I'll know next week, since I just dropped $60 on a couple ebay LD lots.

I picked up 24 Laserdiscs during a hunting day in Denver. I found a little store that had boxes of them. I had to dance around the lots i already have on the way too. Talked the price down to $2 each.
Here's a sample.

As someone who physically moved their Laserdisc player yesterday, I applaud your finding one. You'll have to show us what discs you got in your ebay lot. Sometimes they are really neat, especially when that version of the movie isn't available on DVD or Blu Ray. Or the packaging includes lots of production notes. One of our LDs of Terminator 2 has a clearly different audio mix than our DVD copy, which is awesome.
Continuing on with the calculator bent of this thread, my grandpa sent me these three things:
[img width=700 height=525]https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5527/30907554676_117eb41f26_o.png[/img]
A slide rule, kinda basic but has paper instructions, and two flight computers. While they do look like some kind of weird 90's PC game DRM password feature (see below), the are used by pilots. One is for jets as it measures up to mach 3.5 and the other is a military one. The black one says, "Property of US Army Air Forces." Since the US Air Force was founded in 1947, this was prior to that. Sometime between 1941-47 I'm guessing

Now, that's an impressive stack of paper calculators. But now it's time to turn the tech clock forward several decades as I show off a haul of a much more recent vintage:
[img width=700 height=482]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/tech20112416_zpsuc8gdgbo.jpg[/img]
I picked up this lot of two TI-84-Plusses, a TI-84-Plus Silver Edition, a TI-89, and an HP-15C with slipcase for $85.00.
ANYway, happy UnitedStatesian Thanksgiving, everybody...

Found a wire recorder at the antique market for only 20 bucks cause the guy didn't want to put back in his truck after the show. I didn't understand why till I lifted the thing, it's at least 20 pounds. It's gonna need some love and care to get back to working order but it's at least a cool paper weight if it's not repairable.

That's pretty neat.
Techmoan guy did a pretty good review of those things a short while ago

Another day, another calculator score. This time it's a Sharp ELSI Mate EL-620, a basic arithmetic calculator with a synthesized voice... AKA a talking calculator.
[img width=550 height=711]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/tech%20010417a_zpsyy7aoxfc.jpg[/img]
I was surprised when I found out that this hit the market waaaaay back in 1980. Sadly, I have no way of knowing what this thing sounds like-- or if it even works-- seeing as how the oddball button-cell batteries that once powered it are totally drained.

Fortunately, 625A batteries are pretty cheap to buy online. I'll letcha know if the thingy works as soon as I can...

Found this in a charity shop for £1.99
Shame it didn't have a microcassette with it.

Hey now,
I just found a couple retro-fantabulous tchochkes for y'all to stare at:

On the right is the Apple Newton MessagePad 110 with stylus.

Hey now,
Had a couple days off, and spent much of both days on thrift runs. As you'll soon see, it was a good time to find graphing calculators:

I'd be better if I wasn't the only RF Gentleman (that I know of) attending MAGWest as of this posting, but I'm holding up all right. Not to guilt-trip you or anything...
In other news: the last week has seen a remarkable abundance of calculator & tech pickups, especially TI-80's graph-calcs.
[img width=675 height=550]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4328/35421302343_90272a7aac_b.jpg[/img]
Top row: TI-83, TI-84 Plus, TI-86, TI-89: I grabbed all four of these in a 24-hour period at three separate thrifts, three of them in one morning.
Bottom row: Sealed RS-232 break-out box, TI BA-II Plus, HP 10Bii, sealed Ideal LinkMaster data-com cable tester
On a side note: I paid $3.50 for the LinkMaster, which retails for about $60.
And not that you care, but MetalFRO and I have become pretty tight text-buddies over the past year; we're especially fond of texting our biggest thrift finds to one another. ANYway, he was so blown away by my graphing-calc finds, he gave me the nickname, "The Calc Whisperer."

Hey now,
If you didn't see them in my most recent small scores thread-- especially
you
, Nupoile-- here's my latest bunch of TI graphing calculator pick-ups over the past week:
[img width=550 height=552]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4449/37683977971_3712910301_z.jpg[/img]
You're looking at Two TI-83 Plus-es flanking a TI-NSpire on the top row. ANd below, from left to right, is a TI-86, a TI-84 Plus, and a TI-85.
