You are beyond retarded.

????????

You're a waste of food that could be rotting somewhere giving rise to an interesting new disease.

I seem to recall that Thompson has a crush on the owner of that business. But I could be wrong! Mikek

Cool. I could use one of those.

Pooh kwah?

The opposite type could be useful, but I just want to see what's going on on an 850nm fiber.

It will work fine for that. Output is about 1 volt per milliwatt, 180 MHz analog bandwidth. The -1 version is a silicon detector, good at

850 but not longwave stuff.

Looks like we sold that one to the Los Alamos national lab a couple of years ago. They have a surplus outlet store where all sorts of interesting stuff shows up... occasionally some things that shouldn't. That's how I got my krytron.

Did you get it? Somebody did.

I look at the vendor from time to time because of the cool junk, but never bought anything from them.

You have to watch out for stuff being sold that you shouldn't have. There were these guys peddling crypto gear and 3rd gen NV guts at Foothill and Livermore. My thought was this stuff can't be sold legally. It turns out they were stealing from a military depot in Tracy. The FBI arrested them. I still have a military field radio I bought from them since I figured it wasn't restricted given the age.

I also have a real blue box that I got at Foothill. As a piece of telecom gear, it is legit. I'm not sure how legit it was to own it at the time.

Doing semiconductor, it isn't hard to find my stuff in gear at the south bay junk shops. But in your case doing high end systems, it is probably less likely to find it used. I do find old Berkeley Nucleonics gear from time to time.

I like the seller's description: 'nice gold plated connectors' :-)

I wonder if he used components with real values in that?

Sure. The ones his technician's chose ;-) ...Jim Thompson

LOL, not sure, you might be wrong.

Only vaporware has components with imaginary values.
