In that case I have to guess it was a Kodak; either a "Kodak Instant" or a "Kodamatic". I still have my Polaroid Swinger which I got within months of them...
Hmmm.... in a pitiful attempt to recover lost prestige: It could be argued that because the court decided that the only difference between the polaroid and the...
Ok, yeah, let's end this thread and get back to the plastic processor... Yes Peter, "Kodak Instant" is right, but the "Instamatic" was actually a standard film...

OK - I won't count the model 15 Teletype that was donated to my H.S. and a few of us dreamed of putting on-the-air as an Amateur Radio TTY device. (BTW - I...

... I think you'll find the same sort of technology (electro-mechanical analog computing machines) in the famous "Norden Bombsight". It must have been a lot...
The 80 column cards were actually the size of US currency back in 1887 before it physically got smaller. So it is true a dollar was bigger in the old days.. ...

Hi I'm interested as well. It's surprising how much interest is out there in recreating antique technology. You can buy kits of Edison phonographs (cylinder...
Hi- in the U.K. the saying is " The Royal Navy- 500 years of Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash!" Just thought you'd find that amusing. Another famous Navy quote" if it...

I don't have the advanced programming manual but would like someone to post out there. PDFs in a zip would be good, that way will print correct on any printer...
