I was given a Solartron 7150 because they 'Didn't need it any longer'. I was next seen driving down the M1 at well over the Speed Limit in case they changed their minds
That's quite pretty and works very well.

That's an impressive beast - very good specs.

That reminds me - I have a couple of Solatron 7055s in attic, awaiting restoration. These are 2U rack-mount beasts, and have excellent specs. Not the most attractive things to look at though

The sad thing is we don't have Stephen Chellingsworth here - SPCh on the other Forum.
I counted myself as a friend if his, just, and I wish he was still here

I remember reading an article about him which showed close-ups of one of his work benches - you've never seen one so untidy but he knew exactly where everything was. A pity I can't find a link to it now ...

Now I couldn't work in a mess like that. Even my bread boards had to get tidied up as I went along.

Yes! he was a giant alongside so many such as Fritz Langford Smith.
