Most of this stuff is more interesting as parts for repair or
experimentation. Note especially, the Selectric I/O Writers which are
filled with electromechnical parts, relays, solenoids, switches, etc.

Garage Sale - Junque Electronique, Saturday, April 9, Austin, Texas

I'm cleaning out my closets and I've got lots of old computer and electronic
junk that has got to go. This stuff will only interest hobbyists and
tinkerers on a limited budget. Most items priced between 50 cents and $10.
All items are sold as is, but I will try my best to give honest
descriptions.

Items will be sold at a garage sale on Saturday, April 9 from 9 AM until 3
PM. Location is Trail Crest Circle at Knob Oak Lane in SW Austin. This sale
is in conjunction with the Travis Country Community Garage Sale, so if you
don't like my junk, there will be other garage sales to shop at.

Ah to be in Texas, or even on the right continent... Those Selectrics
can be turned into the coolest printers ;-)

I worked for the company that made the original "Wizard of Avis".
Anybody remember those? The printers were IBM Selectrics,
computer-driven. The volume of business done by Avis and the Wizard was
so great that it just pounded those Selectrics into the ground in short
order. There was a service contract, of course, so I think we lost
money on that job ...

Matthew, you are in need of some serious therapy. I'll see if my doctor can
schedule you in :-)

Actually the Selectric I/O Writers ARE Selectric typewriters meant to be
printers. The really cool thing about the one built into the desk is that
the keyboard has been decoupled from the printer. It is still a real
Selectric keyboard but with sensing switches on the linkages. The printer
section has solenoids which drive the linkages that rotate and tilt the
Selectric golf ball. I always thought it would be a riot to make a
Selectric PC keyboard, with adjustable feel! But ... I'm better, now.
