Let's see your workshop.

[Geoff Quickfall]

After a 12 hour ordeal I got the workshop/office to the point where Janice will allow me to leave the door open!

The rack on the centre has some of the HP's I have but the very bottom row is still project shelf. Things get placed there for a rainy day. And it has been rainy, we have now broken a record set in 1956 for continuous rainfall in Vancouver.



Can you spot the TOS Star Trek stuff?

A TOS communicator can come in handy for your day job, in an emergency. I hope the tricorder is a real one and not one of those cheap alpha centauri knock offs. The dilithium cristals in those catch fire.

[Dave Frederickson]

There's the communicator/TV remote. Looking for an E6B, does that count?

[Geoff Quickfall]

Dave,

that's the lock screen for my company iPad!!

Don,

the communicator is blue tooth and synched to my iPhone. You should see me in airport security when I get a phone call!!

The cheap Alpha Centuri ones were from "lost in space"' I don't think they had dilithium crystals in the series.
Then again I don't think they ever got there did they ?


Geoff
Are those transistor radios I spotted in the shelf near the "sillyscope" ?

[Geoff Quickfall]

Yes, you found them, 50's and 60's reverse painted transistor radios all restored (new caps) some in original boxes:

Before and after:



The cabinet:



The big one:



And to the far right more HPs after all, need them for the book.

Good movie,

Don't understand the reference though :-)

Stand by for surprises.

***THE*** book?!? Gadzooks, Geoff, I can't afford to make it to Nashville this year. But if that may be where it appears - perhaps I can start walking now???

What, me interested?

[Geoff Quickfall]

Ha, no pressure there.

If you look closely, just above the 9825a is a working copy of eth book. The last three chapters are a killer (writers block)and this damn forum keeps expanding the various chapters and the appendix!

:-)

Lol, just a joke about your long-awaited book on restoration. You must know by now how eager many of us are to purchase a copy when it appears.

Now that sounds interesting.

Cheers,

Brad,

I was being facetious!

Purposely missing the point :-)

It's being released on HP-65 mag cards. :-)

(Nice radio - I have to mark the CONELRAD frequencies on all those new-fangled ones with a Sharpie!)

You saved my day! My wife's birthday is not far away and she is a trekkie (goes to conventions in costume and such things...). Didn't even know those bluetooth communicators existed - what a present.

As far as my "workshop" is concerned it is presently not presentable. No way I will show pictures on the internet. Two 3-D printers and two quadcopters awaiting completion next to all the calculators and stuff - what a mess. I really must buy my wife that communicator or she will change the locks of the house ;-)

Regards,
Max

The Bluetooth Communicator and Type II Phaser TV remote from the Wand Co. are both excellent in both accuracy and workmanship (can I use workMANship these days?)
Every Trekker and Trekkie (yes they ARE different!) should have at least one of each.

I think I see a TI model in that last picture of this post:

Posted by Geoff Quickfall - Yesterday 10:14 AM

The keys are pretty distinguishable.

[Geoff Quickfall]

Yep, Gene, 59, 58 and the one you talked about last year!

Some navitronics and interesting others but 90% HP.

[Gene]

Of course, you'll have to add more items after my talk this fall!
