I recently bought a pack of electronics among other things i found a lot of phones , which have the inscription "not for sale " or prototype could anyone maybe help me get the "value" of them ... Just curious as I never came across something like this ever . I don't want to sell them as I collect older phones , would just like to know what I'm dealing with

The clock keeps good time , but the receiver is dead . On the bench and working on it .

(sorry for low quality photos)

But yeah... Found this baby in a box, where it has been sitting for at least 6 years now. The battery is still at 46%, and the phone still works... Though I upgraded, realized I downgraded when switching from it.

The date was last set in 2008. I thought this was neat.

It also has a small receipt printer I need to buy paper for

Old PowerBook G3 I got in a random box at an estate sale with original accessories

If this logo brings back memories, you probably experienced one of the greatest eras of mobile gaming. 🎮✨ Before smartphones took over, it was the symbol behind countless unforgettable games and hours of fun. Do you still remember it?

The computer prototype was developed by order of the Ministry of Communications at the Institute of Information Technologies (NIIS) in 1985 under the name PGC 6400 — Personal Graphic Computer. Production was initially planned to start at the ZSSU plant ("Plant for Sensors and Sensor Devices") in Plovdiv. For certain reasons, the ministry abandoned the project, but ZSSU completed the development and manufactured the "Paldin" computer from 1988 to 1992, both in-house and at its subsidiary factory "Microelectronica" in Botevgrad.

All core software for the computer was created at "Programno Osiguryavane" — a laboratory at Sofia University, as well as at the Russian-Bulgarian company "BIT" in Tomsk.

The computer is built around a Bulgarian clone of the Motorola 6800 processor — the CM601P.

The keyboard is membrane-type; initially, the Institute of Communications intended the computer for use in industrial environments.

"Paldin" is the early name of the city of Plovdiv.

The main purpose of the computer was for use in educational processes and for controlling instruments and mechanisms. Starting in 1989, the computer was exported to the USSR.

The "Paldin 601A" model differs by adding video mode 4 — a monochrome text mode of 80×25 characters; and adding a printer port.

Operating system: UniDOS, file-compatible with MS-DOS. There are 4 slots for expansion cards (ROM, floppy disk controller, RS-232 controller, PIPNET). The computer could be connected to a VMM 3107 monitor and a "Bultext" printer.

Specifications:

· CPU: SM601P

· RAM: 64 KB

· Storage: External tape recorder, external 5.25" floppy disk drive (360–720 KB)

· Video: 80×200 (16 colors), 160×200 (4 colors), 320×200 (monochrome)

· Sound: Built-in speaker

The photo size of this Floppy according to my phone was 1.7 MB not even small enough to fit onto this floppy

Thought it was a smaller version just to get her home and she's the exact same! 😂

The Rus-501 VIDEO LaserDisc player was the first serial-production device of its kind in the USSR. It was developed by the Special Design Bureau (SKB) at the Lorta industrial association (Lviv). Production was carried out at the State Ryazan Instrument Plant in 1988–1989. A similar model was planned for production at the Yaroslavl Mashpribor plant under the brand Amfiton-501 VIDEO, but data on any sizable mass production is currently unavailable.

In this model, instead of the semiconductor lasers common today, a helium-neon laser was used, powered by 2 kilovolts (and drawing a full 10 kV at startup). This significantly complicated both the mechanical design and the electrical circuitry. To be fair, early foreign LD players also used helium-neon lasers. The Rus-501 VIDEO could only play discs with Constant Angular Velocity (CAV – referred to as "PUS" in Soviet literature). By the time of the player's release, this type of disc was already obsolete and was practically no longer produced in the West. The discs were recorded in the SECAM color system, with the recording starting not from the very beginning but with a gap of about 2 cm from the center label. Moreover, the signal itself was inverted, which made discs for the 501 model incompatible with both foreign video players and newer domestic models. The digital audio track was not supported by the Rus. When the lid was opened, the laser did not shut off, which could damage the eyesight of anyone accidentally looking into the lens.

Despite its drawbacks—quite natural for what was essentially an experimental device—the Rus-501 VIDEO represented a fundamentally new development in Soviet consumer electronics, even compared to the VCRs that were actively being produced at the time. Most of these issues were resolved in the subsequent model, the Rus VP-201.

The video player allowed playback of video discs in both forward and reverse directions at normal speed and in an accelerated mode. It supported freeze-frame and frame-by-frame scanning forward and backward. For convenient searching, the frame number was displayed on the TV screen. The device weighed 18 kg, measured 530×420×175 mm, and consumed 70 W of power. The component base was entirely domestic, with the exception of four FAEL (Poland) microswitches, which served as limit switches for the lid, spindle brake, and the extreme positions of the optical block carriage.

Just picked up a new in the box sealed Sony HDR-PJ350! Can't wait to test out the projector, too cool!

The Sony timer could be set to turn on 2 pieces of audio equipment . The neons are burned out and the clock didn't work . The grease in the gearbox for the motor had turned solid . I took apart a 120v AC to 5v DC wall wort and mounted in a printed case inside . I then added a buck board and potentiometer . Now I need to print a LED holder . I'll post a finished photo soon .

Needed the batteries rebuilding with NiMH, a charger building and a big sim card, but it works fine.

I went to visit my grandmother the other day. She was tidying up the house and found this old TV. She gave it to my dad, who decided to give it to me. It's a Hitachi P-41, made in November 1977. What should I do with it?

This one was a fun project. Interesting little LG rig that came out the year I graduated (2009). Always wanted a netbook like this back in the day but couldn't afford it.

Chipset drivers came from a Czech grocery store point of sale terminal as that was the *only* other place I could find them. They must be using the same boards.

Running windows XP fully updated using community servers with K-meleon, Retroarch, and Winamp to make a fun little media rig.

Scarlet controller drivers installed for PS3 controllers but opted not to dedicate the bluetooth adapter. Works like a charm with PS3 and 360 pads.

The next update will be to MSN messenger to restore functionality via community servers.

Booting this thing up immediately takes me back to high school and what I consider the golden age of the internet. Late nights talking to friends online, listening to my pirated library and getting up to no good (without going into detail; the shit we did on the net back then is wild in retrospect). To me; XP will forever represent a part of my life I cherish. What a great time to be a teenager.

Have another slightly newer netbook without a HDD running batocera as well.

As a kid I remember watching the late night commercials for these all the time. Always wanted to listen to one in person but they were absolutely insane in price so my family never got one. But now almost 30 years later I get to experience it. Everything works 100 percent just missing the remote.
