I'll see if I can get some photos of some of the stuff next time I am out at the farm where I store the stuff...........
I have been very lucky to save this stuff from the scrapy's, as a lot of stuff ends up going that way, but a couple of good friends let me know about the gear years ago, and I at the time grabed it, thinking it would be good stuff for my amateur TV projects (I'm into Ham Radio as well, Any amateurs here may have spoken to us on one of our Radio Telescope Hamfests which held the callsign VK2BRT ......Big Radio Telescope). It was years later I thought what was left should be preserved, And I regret wrecking some of it for bits and pieces before I came to my senses....
It is really interesting how primative it all is.
The US stuff which was mostly taken back, was fairly Hi tech for its day, but the Ozi made gear was straight from the back shed.....dymo style labels etc..
But inside these boxes was state of the art electronics.
There was, and still is some of the most impressive minds you will ever meet out there.
They Talk at a level that is very hard to keep up with indeed.
I'll post some pic's anyway, and you can compare them to some of the internal shots of the Telescope from those days and see some of it in the racks!
The old conrac monitor is going to be great. I am going to run a Video loop of the landing through it in my front office with other period gear including some of the various meters and scopes etc also used all set up running.
all good fun!
cheers
John
