I've been a pack rat my whole life, I'm 72. I have thousands of old parts collected for almost 48 years in the Electronics industry. I've done a bit of almost everything. Help me figure out how to share parts and knowledge.
I always seem to be late to the party. After graduating from high school in 1971 I attended a Tech school in Tampa Fl. for a year and a half. After which I started at Texas Instruments at 19 years of age on 01/021973 as a technician, after a little over 7 years I hit the top. I left to go back to Florida in mid-1980, where I grew up, to take an engineering position at a small company in Kissimmee. Then in mid 81, I left for an Associate engineering position at Martin Marietta. By 1984 I left again for a start-up Aerospace firm just down the road.... Skipping to the end... After over 20 years with Lockheed Martin as a Sr digital design engineer, I retired in May of 2020. I never lost my love for my work life, I got up every morning loving my work as well as my Soul mate wife. I accumulated more parts than I could use in 5 life times. The oldest date code 7400 series is early 1971. Help me share. I don't want a penny for anything.... Just someone who love electronics. Still to this day I am developing an FPGA I call PLASE... Programmable Logic Analysis and Stimulus Engine. The reality is I don't want all that work to die with me.
Perhaps it is too late, but here's to trying.
Greeting to all
Charlie Stuart
