What Did You Buy Today?

8008?
6502?
I still have a couple of TRS-80 computers (a model I and a model III) with Z-80 chips (and a Qume daisy wheel printer). I think the 4004 was first, then the 8008, then the 8080, then the Z-80? The Altair 8800 with an 8080 processor was all the rage in the mid-70's. I recall Altair also offering a machine with a Motorola chip (6800?) that predated the 6502 of Apple ][ and Commodore 64 fame. I bought the Model I TRS-80 in February, 1978. Brings back some old memories programming in assembly code back in the day. Google "Bruce Hansen TRS-80 TASMON". That was a machine language monitor program I wrote in around 1981. It was for debugging assembly/machine code programs. REAL geek stuff. I was such a nerd. . . .

We have some friends that kept their Apple II GS. It was on a hall desk so as you walk in it was visible to all. It still worked at the time.
They lost everything in the Camp fire too.
I wonder what computers will look like in 20 years??
 
I bought this Engineers Black Book after seeing it in one of Adam Booth’s videos.

Highly recommended! There’s a section that shows what inserts work in the different standard holders.

This was super helpful in finding inserts and tool holders at good prices.
Could you post a few pages on either side of those? :laughing:

I went over to a shop to pickup some specialty holders for my new machine that I’ll show here another day and they had a few other things to get rid of.

Sold me 2 Kurt 6” vises for $20 each

And I got a tooling cabinet for a steal
It’s a vidmar style but made by a brand that starts with an R

Came with some random stuff in it that I may use but I really just wanted the cabinet.

I got a bunch of other stuff too
Ok. You know the rules....Pictures!
 
I plan on starting a thread about this once it gets here next week. Hoping the shipping company doesn't wreck it...

Eisen 1440E. 3 phase.

The kurts are not great shape but much better than I see most of the ones I see sell for 200$ on eBay and whatnot. I don’t have a picture at the moment. The stuff in the brown cardboard box is what I went for. I paid a lot for those. They are km63xmz tool holders for my new lathe.

I’ll show some pictures of the lathe when it comes in a few weeks.

WOW!!! Just WOW.

Good for you! Those cabinets.... I have one but would love two more.

I will admit that I do not know what the chucks are for in your second picture. You mentioned lathe? CNC lathe maybe?
