content: Hi I have just got a National oscilloscope VP-5234A off ebay in working order with the last calibration date of October 2010. I have google'd it but have not found anything, I was hoping that some one may have a circuit diagram and manual both user and service that they would either sell me complete or let me have a copy of. The scope would appear to be triple channel which is some thing I have never come across before ( but then my experience with scopes is not what you would call extensive)

content: Does anyone collect vintage cassette tape recorders? I have three, and will sell to whoever wants them, for a reasonable cost (not expecting to make a fortune here):1/ BASF 92012/ Grundig C410 ("Microfon")3/ Hanimex (unknown model/unmarked)I don't know anything of these items except that they came from my grandparents who were meticulous with their possessions. The Hanimex has slight battery bay corrosion, but the BASF and Grundig are spotless. I have no time to spend on this, so if you want them, express an interest and you pay shipping or collect in person, from Northants UK.No further information, no idea of working condition, suffice to say they are not destroyed and in reasonable conditon. May be good for someone into this stuff, but since we already have a house overflowing with old items we do not need, I need to shift them.Images: --->>http://www.flickr.com/photos/22008695@N03/sets/72157629838325426/Thank you

I can't find anyone who wants to take them.You can see some photos here:http://wasdomain.net46.net/cbpYou can take as many as you want, they're free. You just pay shipping from Orange, NSW, 2800 Australia. I may even throw in some of the shipping.If you don't want any of them (and there are more, so many I can practically do requests - anything from 80s, 90s, plus magazines, New Scientist, etc from a similar era), does anyone have any idea where I can get rid of them (apart from, throwing them out, burning them, etc.)Thanks,William

I had boxes of every Dr. Dobbs magazine, every single MSDN magazine, old Compute! , Kilobaud from the 70's,Byte 70s 80s 90s, .Circuit Cellar, Radio Electronics, QST, , yada yada yadaI tried for ages to sell them, donate them, then give them away, no one wanted a single one(!). I tried libraries, universities, computer clubs, etc, etc. etc. I was spending more time trying to find out what to do with them than it was worth, and I didn'twant to move them to a new apartment yet again...In the end, I ended up doing what you are dreading.. and I tossed them all into a large recycling bin at my apartment complex.Much of the magazines I could get on CD-ROM, so that was good. The textbooks and manuals, etc. were really just not worth keeping, to anyone.You may find the same thing...

content: It probably still works, as it was designed for use in a shuttle bay, so would only need power supplied via an umbilical. Probably the computers that run it are missing, as they were standard Shuttle computers ( IBM 360 derivatives) and would have been robbed as spares and replacement parts. The reflector and such are probably OK, but you would need to have a few litres of liquid Helium to operate the detectors.

Short story is that it is an Arduino based thing for those that want wireless remote control of a microcontroller project without having to buy an Arduino, then a shield, then download code, then solder on headers, then blah, blah, blah. And it can be controlled from a smartphone.Link to project is:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/694850905/the-ard-varkIt has wifi built in, controls up to 4 servos and 2 DC motors, temperature sensor and light sensor built in with ports to connect other things. I invented this because I was tired of having to spend 3 or 4 hours figuring out how to do basic stuff just to get something moving. Give it a look. If you like, please forward the link to others. If you don't want to buy one just yet, but think it is a good idea, please consider contributing $1 or $10 or $25 to help support the development.Thanks,Kerwin

There are usually quite a few different power rails in a TV, in a plasma you will have some above 200V going to the Y and Z sustain boards. One LCD I was messing with the other day had 6 different voltages coming from the power supply.

Lots of TI sample code to look at.I never really gotten into it, wasn't fan of the crippleware (code size limited) Eclipse based compiler package, as I didn't really want to waste my time learning too much about MSP430 and then not being able to develop real products without forking out hundreds (thousands?) of dollars for a license.I have a TI Launchpad too, and the crippleware thing put me off using the chips.

I am also an Amateur Radio Operator, which has inspired me to major in Electrical Engineering in college. Since I still have two years to go, I was wondering if anyone would feel so inclined as to help me out with a donation of some equipment. Right now, all I have is a multimeter that won't measure voltage, and a breadboard.I would greatly appreciate any donations of test equipment (especially an oscilloscope), or even just components.I can be reached at my email: wschaffer1@neo.rr.com If anyone would be interested in helping me get into EE, I would greatly appreciate it, and I could also pay for shipping.Thank-You,William Schaffer

I might imagine that a cheap 20-100 MHz dual channel analog scope, plus a bunch of other stuff, might provide better value for money. For that kind of money, you should be able to find a functional used analog scope, decent DMM ($100), soldering station (Hakko or clone) and some money left over for parts. An analog scope + soldering iron is definitely more useful than only a digital scope.
