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.
