[GreenKeys] Equipment

[Josh Bensadon]

I had similar thoughts about vintage computers,  I think we just need to advertise a little.  I aim to advertise at makers faire and computer stores, perhaps linking greenkeys with VCF will help in both directions??

Greetings fellow Greenkeyers.

We are approaching an interesting dilemma. Equipment is becoming available and there may be limited to no interest in it. What is the alternative? Dare I say the word — landfill?  And what if someone comes along in six months new to our group? They won’t be able to get anything if it is all “gone”.

Some of us (me included) are trying to save what we can for future members, tucking things away in our houses or storage sheds. But the scary reality seems to be that interest in mechanical hardware is fading. How many future members will there be? Will we get to a point where nobody wants this equipment that we hold in high regard?

To that end, I am volunteering to assemble a list of who wants what and try to get that to those who have equipment.  I’d like to start with whole items (teletypes, repress, modems/TUs etc) and NOT get into parts (copy holders, chad boxes, etc) at this time.

For those who are looking for something (whole items), I’d be glad to put on on this list and serve as a broker for those trying to dispose of equipment (including the estates of those who have passed on). Please feel free to contact me on or off-list with your wishes and indicate if you are wanting these times fully restored, in working condition, in unknown or not working condition (where you are planning to do the restoration work).
