Anyone know what to do with old Bipco units for burroughs tubes? I have a bunch and am wondering what I could use them for....(apart from the obvious), which probably means nothing. Anyone out there need some?

Cheers,

Nick

Those Bipco things aren't documented, so they're pretty useless.

There's documentation out there:


A.J. has some documentation on some other ones.

I'd be interested in some just to have an odd bit of history.

I have 8 of these Bipcos, with tubes, two sets of four, built into aviation devices. I guess I should do something with them.

Greetings Nixians,

To those who have any Bipco units and are willing to part with some, how many are available and how much would you want? Of course, reply off list, please!

All the best,
Samuel

John,

That WPS (Tom Jennings) documentation page came from me. It's just catalog pages, not installation or operating guides. It's not enough to use the gizmos.

Can someone X-ray or C-SAM one of these units and post the pictures ? I'm curious if there is an IC, PC board, etc inside.
Please dont smash, dissolve, or otherwise destroy one.

For some reason the picture didn't come through my email client. It's not visible on the group web page, either.
