it's the last Silicon Valley Electronics Flea Market here at West Valley College! 🧵
this thing plugs into a PC expansion slot and provides IO, timers, ADCs, presumably as some sort of electronics learning thing.
4QP2, a beauty. 800V deflection and a spiral PDA anode up to 3KV.

@tubetime Had one like that in the farm house when I was a kid. Accident waiting to happen.
@tubetime All I wanted was an Armatron. There was like an actual robot arm for sale w/ TV commercials and you could actually get one as a kid. Never got one, whomp whomp.
@tubetime last for 2025 season. I was worried it was closing down for good.
@tubetime so much space !
Rev engineering this one and doing open source schematic would be cool
@tubetime That computer with the wire plugged into itself was wild. It was packed with cards and also had a photo scanner in a 5¼" drive bay. If I had any cash left, I would have grabbed it just to reveal its secrets...
@tubetime
That's a nice bit that would likely work okay on the 10GHz hamband, too bad the actual transistors have been stolen from it.
@tubetime this is a tiny, petty gripe, but that 69OAK tag on the Amiga box annoys me. When Amiga shipped one to me, it got tagged 69EGE, presumably by FedEx. I'm guessing that OAK one came from a home somewhere near Oakland, CA. Mine ended up in a home near Eagle County, CO.
It arrived okay, but I thought it should have had an outside box and they shouldn't have doodled all over my nice new computer box.
@Stammnkeck I always wondered how they got them to line up so perfectly
