Hello from Connecticut, USA

Post by junkman »

Hello all.

I come from the world of Tandy and just picked up a little TS1000 to play with. It isn't feeling well and I hope I can bring it back to life. I made a post in the hardware section where hopefully the smart people here can lend a hand.

I remember seeing ads for the TS1000 in magazines and catalogs but never realized how small this little guy really is. I wish I ordered the kits when they where around for $49 mail order. They are a bit more expensive now on on the Eb*y :o

Hello and welcome to our forum junkman!

:D :D :D

I hope you enjoy the forum :D

I see you have already posted in the hardware section... we will help where we can.

Yes, in recent years eBay prices have gone nuts. Now the cheapest way to get hold of 1980s computers is to go to car boot sales, radio rallies and similar events where people sell off their ‘old’ stuff.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
