  I went to a small hamfest today and found an interesting item. It's an
early Simpson 260 meter with no series number and a BROWN bakelite case.
I've used these meters for 40+ years and never even heard of one of these
before! Other goodies include a Tektronix 465 scope and a Wavetek
Function/Noise generator (cheap!). Also the seller FINALLY brought me the
National Semiconductor Pacer computer that I bought several months ago.
It's a large box with 2 four digit displays and a calculator-like keyboard
and appears to be in perfect condition. Pictures to follow in a few days.

  Also I went scrounging yesterday and found a big heap of cards for the
HP-1000 including three DAS cards (very big $$$ :-) Also found a Multibus
chassis with power supply made by AMD. It a Z8002 CPU on one card and two
other wire wrap cards in it. I haven't had a chance to look at it closer.
