This magnetic recording head came from the Manchester Mk 1. Donald says: "I visited the computer group at Manchester University, I think in 1949/50, and Dr.Thomas gave me one of the recording heads from the Manchester Mk 1 magnetic drum. I found it in a box in the roof. I suppose I kept it because it was given to me from another group and was not otherwise available in the laboratory."

This ZX81 has done well to survive so long in Bob's care: "Due to its wedge shape I must admit that i have previously used the odd ZX80/81 as a door wedge - well, it was perfectly shaped! Also, I learnt to interface to these fine examples, including linking to relays, 12v car batteries, thin fuse wire and fireworks in order to 'automate' early firework 'shows' at home."
Of the Spectrum 48K, Bob is perhaps less fond, commenting that the keys "seemed to have been modelled on a pencil eraser, they didn't work work and just smudged."
As to how he's hung on to them so long, Bob says only this: "simple, my wife doesn't or at least didn't know I had them!"
Good luck, Bob, and hope you find another decent hiding place!

This is image of Electronics 3D Models on CGTrader marketplace, an online platform where designers can buy, sell or download free 3D models.
3D models can be used in creating animation, video games or 3D print. To use these models you will need 3D software like Autodesk 3dsmax, Maya, Softimage, Cinema4D or Lighwave. Note: these are not real phycal objects, but digital files that computer artists use in 3d computer graphics projects.
CGTrader is online platform where artist can trade or share free 3d models.

Do you need to organize your data??? Here is the perfect solution. These cute pieces called ‘Thumb-Drivez’ not only help you to keep your files and data in place but also add an element of quirkiness to your laptop.
Both artistic and fully functional, these guys also let you use both the side by side USB ports in your laptop simultaneously.
Imagine a Pizza or a burger hanging out of your laptop….. It’s a definite conversation starter and a something your colleagues will envy.
My linux box circa 1997-2000. It's still working as well just very very slowly. It's a Pentium 200mhz with 256Mb and a 2.5Gb Quantum Bifoot drive (Visible in the drivebay below the cdrom drive).
sPHENIX is a radical makeover of the PHENIX experiment, one of the original detectors designed to collect data at Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. It includes many new components that significantly enhance scientists’ ability to learn about quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an exotic form of nuclear matter created in RHIC’s energetic particle smashups.
Donald Willis introduces the "first experimental digital magnetic recording head I made in 1948/9 at the Mathematical Laboratory, Cambridge when I joined the team to develop magnetic recording for the EDSAC. This was for a magnetic drum, but this was not used as we switched to magnetic tape when it first became available."
Donald kept it out of simple nostalgia: "it was the first magnetic recording head I had made".
Just picked up this snazzy metal shelf from Target. It works perfectly for containing the pile of hardware I have lying around.
The PCB pictured is from an IBM Model M keyboard, specifically a M5-1 made in 1993. The M5-1 has a small trackball mouse just above the cursor keys. This board is for the mouse. The keyboard's mouse recently quit working, so I took it apart to diagnose the problem. I think the capacitor pictured (center; blurry metal cylinder) has failed based on what looks like corrosion on the board below the capacitor. They can leak, and the leakage damages the board.

I took this photo of my new Asus P8Z68 Motherboard. I love that all the components are shades of blue. It gives the board a very nice look.
I wish I would have taken my time and took some more shots of this board, but I was too excited to put my new PC all together.
Currently, I'm using this shot as my wallpaper. It's kind of neat to have a visual reminder of what's making all this computer work possible.
