Well, I certainly hope you can nail the bastid. I hope you have the police in on all this tom-foolery! –MFW

Phone Gizmos?
Message #307375
J, There are several units which do what you want. Just a guess….wanting to use the 2 lines to avoid a toll call? Jeff

Phone Gizmos?
Message #307330
You are describing a feature common to many PBX systems, where an employee of a business can call into his office phone system, and use the company's WATS or private lines to make outgoing business calls from home or while traveling for the company. I don't know of any simple…
Security Cam?

Wow, what a great story! If somebody were calling Guyana on my phone, I'd be waiting there with a gun. Jeez! Good luck! –MFW

Security Cam?
Message #304416
It would be far simpler to just hook up a VHS recorder and a T-180 tape. That's 9 hours plus of video. BASF even has a T-200, which works out to more than 10 hours. Continuous recording would be easier than trying to rig up some sort of motion-detection activated…

Security Cam?
Message #303825
Why not just use a T-180 cassette running at EP? That would run about 9 hours, and you could just start the machine when you leave and let it go until you come back in in the morning. I also think a preferable way to go would be to hire…

Want AR-1 speaker
Message #238431
Anybody have any leads on any AR-1 speakers? This unit dates back to the early sixties, I think. Thanks, Joe

Camcorder Shuts Down?
Message #190469
If you want to make the camcorder stay on, why not just roll a tape in it as you feed its signal to another VCR? Then, just erase the tape or reuse it later on. –MFW

Camcorder Shuts Down?
Message #190309
I believe if you don't have a tape in it it will stay on.

LCD monitor advice?
Message #168290
Oh, I've been to Akihabara several times. I'm telling you that 6" LCD sets are extraordinarily expensive. You should see what the 12" sets go for–thousands of dollars. Sony currently has three LCD color sets: FDL-310 (battery portable 2.7" screen) FDL-370 (larger case and bigger speaker) FDL-380 (same as above…

#LCD monitor advice?
Message #168125
I have no experience with the Citizen sets, but the little Sony and Sharp LCD sets are OK for what they are. I don't have any model numbers on Sharp, but the FDL Sony's are adequate across the board. None of them are even close to the quality of a…
L-750's are/were 50% longer than 500's. The number refers to the length of tape in feet. L-500's were 2 hours at the BII speed; L-750's were 3 hours at the same speed. –MFW
VideoMusic/Oscilloscope
Message #167972
Will trade or sell for $125.00 ea. Atari VideoMusic Color Organ generator and/or Heath Audio Oscilloscope for Scanner 29Mhz-512Mhz
What is the difference between L-500's and L750's? Thanks, …John
I'm in Dallas, TX. The $600 price is a little steep, though. I think the local retailers are offer a similar unit for about $400, new. Are you negotiable on the price? David
My special Compuserve colleagues price is $600 plus shipping. It's a hand-held unit. Ask anyone here about the OKI 900; it's still the unit with the greatest number of features, and has an terrific reputation for reliability. You get it activated by contacting one of your two local cellular companies,…
George, try APPUSE (Apple II Users' Forum) for the IW2. …Keir

Sony GV-xxx wanted
Message #167772
I am looking to buy a used Sony GV-300 or 500 if one is available. I might take a GV-9 if the price was right. If you have one, give me a shout. Thanks, Gene
I couldn't find your original ad, how much are you asking for the unit? What size is it? Could you e-mail all the details? How would I go about activating the unit? Where can I find the speakerphone unit? THanks, David L. Leon 76670,2165

#Beta Tape Clearance

How come you're selling it? dg
I have the charger/adapter that runs the phone and charges the battery simultaneously, from the cigarette lighter. The only way to get a car speakerphone setup is to buy the kit OKI makes; I don't have it, but one is available. David

Tom, I bought and sold several items through AudioMart ads, and they offer service where the buyer sends the check to Audiomart (MO or certified, or maybe they will cash it to be sure it is good) who notifies the seller, who sends the goods. The buyer has a couple…

That last paragraph is scary. (And it's ironic to have it reported by a guy named Diogenes.)
Excuse me for jumping in, but let me report that I've dealt with these sorts of deals many times in many ways and from both sides of the transaction. I've never ripped anyone off (even those who forwarded checks first) and no one has ever done it to me (even…
OLD TUBE EQUIPMENT
Message #166845
Interested in buying old tube audio equipment. Will consider anything.
I am sure Marc will provide a more thorough reply but in circumstances similar to those you describe I have used Federal Express COD cash only where for an additional $5.00 they will accept only cash or a certified check for the merchandise in the amount you specify and return…
What I usually do is ship stuff COD, and then ask the other person to pay for it with a postdated check. If the amount in question is unusually large, you might also want a banker's letter of guarantee to accompany the check. David

#OKI 900 for sale
Message #166680
Is there any way to hook this phone up to a charger and speakerphone setup while it it is in your car? David
Yes, the Oki will. They just announced a data coupler last week. It is the size of a dollar bill, but one inch thick. I'd guess that it's being shown right now at the CES and that Dawn is probably looking at it right now! -Jeff
