I have a bunch of Moneyrola talkgroups listed in hex format that I need to convert to decimal style...I fooled around with the MS Windows scientific calculator, but I just got angry. Anyone have an easy way to do it?

The terminal in the foreground looks like an LA-120. Funny how they paired it with that large prop which appears to be of much older technology.

I was going to say that they turned the wheel to make the thing work....like crank starting a vehicle from the olden days.

My bad. Its an LA-36 (which looks almost identical to an LA-120).

Spudman wasn't that far off the mark. I had one of those at home. It was the console for my VAX 11/780.
