Hi Fedi,

A friend has an IMSAI VDP-40 in his basement, and wants to donate it to a local museeum/collection.

I just wanted to check first about the approximate value of something like that, we are not rich, and even preferring it being in a museum, we cannot in good conscience give away thousands of moneys, if it should be worth that.

Does anyone have any idea of the value if such an old relic?

When you find a dusty box containing 12 Geissler tubes strung on old paper clips, you don’t ask, “Were they meant to be displayed like this?” You ask, “Where’s my backdrop?”

Hearing people get started in IT today makes me think back to when I first got jobs in tech.

If you know what's up with THIS, and how important that damn "yes" was...

I've cleaned off enough shelves in the Spare Oom that I now have room to start unpacking my boxes of #reelTape -- and I found this unopened 7-inch specimen. The cellophane and box are both like new and not yellowed, no signs of deterioration. Pretty sure this is a brand from the 1960s.
