Searching for ...

spare parts, consumables, accessories

Late in 2002 after deciding to get the old pdp8/m out of the cellar, I was naive enough to think that there will be no problem to get all parts I need. I really thought standard TTL SN74xyz could be bought forever.

In the meantime I had to learn, that most of the parts aren't in production anymore and many of them are very hard to find.

This is true even for some very unspectaclular things like 8.5" endless paper - I hope only in Germany.

So here is a little list of things I am searching for:

  Type Part Usage  
     
ICs Signetics SP380, SP384, SP314  
ICs TTL ICs SN74xxx and 74Hxxx  
ICs special DEC ICs z.B. DEC8881  
ICs ROM 2 vt100
     
filters hepa filter for disk drive RK05
     
rubber buffer for hammer of typewheel Teleprint 390 + Teletype ASR33
     
paper plotter paper 31" (787 mm) x 36 m CalComp 563
paper endless paper 8 1/2" (216 mm) x 12" Teleprint 390
paper telex paper rolls Teletype ASR33
     
pens misc. pens (ballpen, fineliner, and rapidographs) CalComp 563
     

If you want to part, sell, or trade in some of the things mentioned above, or if you know of some source for these, or if you are willing to part, sell, or trade a pdp8 - please let me know.
