  Well, this month's TRW Swapmeet haul was pretty expens^H^H^H^H
good: I found some old computer books, and some electronic music
and acoustics texts from the 60s... and a neat HP 1/4" data
recorder, four channels, FM, four speeds... nice for my restoration
work. And an Edison cylinder recording for $10... (cool!)

  BUT.... (here's the on-topic part) I found a Tomy 16-Bit Graphics
Tutor, along with another Commodore 64 and printer. [Anyone in SoCal
want two C-64s, a disk drive and printer? Not really my 'thing'..
free to good home, you pay FedEx shipping...] Anyway..

  This unit is slightly larger than the C-64, has a cartridge port
on the top, an expansion bus port on the back, as well as a DIN for
the cassette and a DB9 marked 'controller', and audio/video/RF RCA
jacks. I have yet to plug it in. It is stock # 800, model # TP 1000.

  Is this thing anything? Is it priceless/worthless?
Interesting/boring? I have never run across one in all my years
collecting...

 ALSO: I'm still looking for the vacuum column door for a Kennedy
9300 9trk drive.... if another drive was available within
reasonable going-and-getting distance I'd go for that, too.

 ALSO ALSO: The formatter card for the above, to fit a PDP 11/34a.

 Cheers

John
