Floor plan of the PaCommEx exhibit area

Here's a rough floor plan of the first floor exhibit area of the Living Computer Museum, our venue for the Pacific Commodore Expo NW.  Note where the PaCommEx tables will be, which is where museum attendees would have to cross to get to the stairway to the second floor.  (Layout not drawn to scale, as you can see the pillars are the same size as the elevator!  Wrong-o!)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Composite video from a Sears LXI

Here is what a Commodore VIC-20CR displays when the composite video is sent to a 13-inch Sears LXI television/monitor.  The LXI also has an IBM-type RGB digital connector in the back; when hooked up to a Commodore 128 outputing its 80-columns, the screen displays all the 16 C= colors except for Commodore brown.

Here are some photos inside and outside of Seattle's Living Computer Museum, our venue for the Pacific Commodore Expo NW.  I was not permitted to take a photo of the LCM's first floor exhibit area (where we will have PaCommEx), because it was still under construction, and it was to be a surprise when it opens.  However, I was able to take photos of the small details and of the classroom/break-out room.

Very custom power supplies from Ray Carlsen

Power supply for three, different Commodores

Power supply for a C64, a C128, and two 1581 disk drives

P.S. for too many Commodores and Amigas!

This one has 9V outputs, too

His universal p.s.... with an added digital display

Upgraded, internal p.s. for C128DCR

Ray Carlsen, veteran Commodore repair technician, has been producing his Commodore and Amiga heavy-duty power supplies for a few years.  http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/custom%20ps.html However, he likes it when the monotony of building the same p.s. over and over again is broken.  That's when customers order "very custom" power supplies, ones that are out of the ordinary.

I like the above universal p.s. with the display (but I was thinking of one with a VU meter!).
