Post here what Apollo-related books, articles, software, videos etc. you have. The list may be useful for someone who is trying to find something. From what I've heard, I can't imagine JayUtah wanting to provide any more than a general list, unless he has done a concise one already.

A piece of gold foil from the exterior of either the Apollo 11 or Apollo 13 CM given to me by my grandfather. I'm pretty certain he originally said 11, but later said 13, then could not remember which as he got older (I was turning 5 when Apollo 11 happened). It was given to him by a Navy frogman who was a neighbor of his in San Diego. Unfortunately, it's impossible to authoritatively authenticate the foil. Still, it sure is cool to have something that went to the moon and back 8)

I have almost nothing that was collected at the time. I have a pretty large library, but it's mostly been put together over the past 10 years or so. If you extend my collection to include the stuff I have relatively unlimited access to (but don't actually own), you can throw in a DSKY, parts of the docking probe assembly, and a Rocketdyne H-1 engine (the forerunner of the F-1).

I have a certificate from NASA that belonged to my great-grandmother. It's to thank her for all her help in the Apollo space program. I'll have to scan it in and post it.

Does it get any cooler than having your initials on the moon? Read it first in Time magazine and confirmed it with Eugene Cernans "Last Man on the Moon" I know Eugene did it for his daughter however I have the same initials.

I've managed to get the first pic of the Marantz 9120 power amplifier -used exclusively in apollo tracking stations- in the public area, as well as some specifications.
Other than that info and digital scan, and the accompanying email conversation with Mr Lindsay who provided the data from his private library, I have no Apollo artifacts. At least none other than commercial things. We used to play with a football featuring the Apollo 11 crew when we were young. Though that was an old football (soccer ball), it must have been from quite some time after A11, as even my oldest broth was only 4 YO in 69. The print had almost completely disappeared when we played with it though (80's/early 90's). The fact that they emigrated in the 70's makes it even less likely that the ball originated from 69 or early 70's. Maybe we still have it, but I highly doubt it.

I have absolutely nothing (other than my memories!)
Still, it got me wondering what might be out there, so I ebayed and found the following quirky item : Official Copy of Apollo 11 Customs Declaration for Moon Rock |
|
||||
|
I have "Full Moon", "Apollo: The Epic Journey to the Moon", and "The NASA Mission Reports" for Apollo 11 (volume 2) and Apollo 13.
I suppose "Failure is not an Option" and the BA's book may count. Do they?

I just saw the pics of tuesday's lecture. Apparently Aldrin made some time for autographs after I left. Oh well

I have many books (too many to list) as well as a number of videos and DVD's. There is one book that deserves special mention, though. It's called "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon". No it's nothing to do with the "moon hoax" nonsense - it's literally a collection of humorous anecdotes from astronauts and those involved in the space programme.
One of my favourite videos is a three hour documentary about the American space programme I bought at the ground tracking station at Tidbinbilla, near Canberra, Australia. http://www.bintel.com.au/Tidbinbilla.html I have the DVD set of "From The Earth To The Moon" (Tom Hanks produced series) and a number of dedicated vids about Apollo 13, Apollo 11 and the early space programme. My most treasured items, though, are three scrapbooks I made at the time, of all the newspaper and magazine clippings from Apollo 10 through to Apollo 17. Whenever I look at those, the memories come flooding back.

I never dig the stuff out, but I have an entire box FULL of NASA items, candid photos, videos, and nick knacks from the Apollo days. Both my Grandfather and my Dad worked for Nasa (or a subcontractor or something) at that time. I have home movies from my Grandpa with a few astronauts at a cook out, a car race, and probably 25-30 home videos (the old reel to reel kind) of rockets being launched taken from somewhere other than the usual public vantage points. I have a birthday card from Chuck Yeager to my Grandpa (they were friends that kept in touch)
I have no idea what my Grandpa's duties were for Nasa, but I know my dad said he had something to do with launchpad monitoring via the audio/video department. My Grandfather retired and was killed in an air show accident when the plane he was flying had the cockpit canopy suddenly open, acting as an air brake and driving him into the ground (he was flying inverted and stupid low at the time). When he died, my Mom brought back from California a HUGE box full of space stuff and gave it to me, then my father passed a couple of years back and I added his collection to the mix. I never have gone through it, but there is a ton of stuff, a quick rummage through it today and I saw: Folders and folders of boring papers, a box of misc. pilot wings and medals (probably grandpa's), two show boxes of color pictures and the negatives (lots of familiar faces and some cool nasa control room looking shots, a box of misc electronics that were supposed to be of some importance (don't remember and have no way of finding out now I guess), about 200 pages of printer paper (tractor feed style) with nothing but endless numbers on them, a box of lava(?) rocks from Jim (can't make out last name, something ending in either 'win' of 'wen' the writing is kinda messy) that has "Gordon, worry stones from Zimbabwe ha ha" in handwriting on it (Gordon was my Grandpa's first name), and tons of different mission patches (at least I think they are) pins, ties, one old, really smelly jacket, blank letterhead paper, and the usual stuff people swipe from their offices I guess. I should take some pictures or scan some of this stuff in to see if any of it is really interesting or if most of it is mundane stuff. |

If you happen to find a tracking station Marantz 9120 power amplifier between those electronics, do contact me...please...those are my lost children
![]() But seriously, that sounds like a very cool collection you've got there!!

![]() I said before they should check the private archives for those tapes! There's a wealth of stuff inthere. Who knows people actually do find them Marantz amplifiers there, though that's not too likely as they were part of rack equipment. The only gaps to fill in that research are how many produced (thogh we've got an estimate of "at least as many as tracking stations", which would be 24 IIRC, and then of course where are they now.

Nothing like that in this old box of junk that's for sure. I'll borrow my neighbors camera this weekend and take picture of the electronics and you guys can check if it's anything important.
But I agree, if NASA checked people private stashes they would find some interesting things. I wonder how much real cool stuff is sitting in dusty boxes in someone's closet, forgotten and ignored (like my box-o-crap)? I am now going through this stuff a little more carefully to see if anything you guys might be interested is in there. Anyone know what kind of projector I need to play some of these video reels? What I remember of them is fuzzy from when I was a kid and my gramps forced me to watch 'em. |

If you post pics of the electronics, we can try to identify them. I only have a bit of experience in identifying audio equipment/instruments, but we'll try. Maybe there still is something interesting in the collection, both the electronics and the rest. As for the video reel projector: you need a ....reel to reel video projector. Not a RtR audio tapedeck, mind. I suggest looking in a charity shop or whatever equivalent of permanent carboot sale store you've got overthere, they might have one. http://www.8mm16mmfilmscollectibles....yo702-2web.jpg This is a common type of RtR video projectors, what you need. It's called a super-8 (8mm) movie projector. http://www.tonbandhobby.de/gx635dsi.jpg This is an audio tapedeck (18 or 26 cm reels). You can't use that for videos.

My beloved roommate was at the closing of a school library, I believe, and acquired the National Geographic volume (the hardbound collection) covering July-Dec. '69. This? This is why I have referred to her as my beloved roommate; she finds things like that, decides I need them, and gets them for me. My other best friend, who was in charge of buying the Christmas and birthday presents for me from my boyfriend while he's overseas, got me a box set of NASA DVDs in a shiny metal case, too.
