Does anyone out there have a Stargate or know where I could find one?

I don't have an SG-1 to sell but I do have an HRRBI if you can use that.

Thanks for the offer, however I need the input/output capabilities.

Seems like someone out there would have a used Stargate or Homebase unit.

They do pop up on ebay from time to time. You can set up a 'saved search' on ebay and if one gets listed you'll be the first to know.

Hi,

I have acquired several 'spare' Stargate controllers over the past couple of years, and I'd be willing to part with one. I have the DTMF/Telephone boards, and the WebX boards, so let me know what you are looking for!

I have SG-1 with telephone board and Webex, 2 Xpanders, and Infred Xpander available.

I have a JDS Timecommander unit that appears to have a bad comm interface - hooking up serial cable to WinEVM (Event Manager) shows no connection. I have a 2nd Timecommander that works using same interface (Cable-WinEVM).  Is there anyone who repairs Timecommanders? Or has the serial interface chipset(s)?

I don't have a TimeCommander to look at but I believe it uses the the same MAXIM MAX232CPE chip as the SG-1. If you can take a pic of the board I'll see if it matches. I've replaced several in the SG-1 over the years.  The chip itself is inexpensive.

Does the TimeCommander still talk to the TW523?
