So a good 6 or so months back I was playing on gumtree and found a forsale post "electronics" The add went something like too much stuff to list... The photo was one terrible photo of a small box of resistors. So me being me I couldn't help my self I had to go down and check it out. 20 mins later I filled my van full of stuff. Loads off stuff and few nice old meters and a big old eeprom machine too... Anyway the resistors caps etc is all handy and a life time supply But what about all these old IC's there is thousands of them those draws are full I've started documenting the stuff in the attached excel file. I've still got another two big tubs full of IC's all in packaging that I need to add to this file just so I know what I've got. Lot of z145xx series Lots of 74xx series, the big tub that I'm yet to document has LM series stuff in it. The Z145xx and 74xx are these still useful? Lots of logic stuff. |

Certainly of value to hobbyists, yes. People are still into vintage computers, amateur radio gear, and old electronic musical instruments. EPROM programmers are still manufactured, but the vintage stuff is way cooler in anybody’s eyes if you can get the software together for it. |

Send the transistor checker into Dave’s Mailbag segment. |

Wow those are old. Not even LS but the original 74 series. The LM stuff might be National Semiconductor's Linear ICs. There are scans of the old data books in the Internet. |
