LET'S REPAIR: Radio Shack TRS-80 Microcomputer System 

This is not merely a great restoration video, it's downright inspiring.

yo this is insane, extremely underrated views and channel

This was also my first computer. We got one in mid 1978. Eventually we added a LNW System Expansion to it instead of using the Tandy expansion interface. The LNW came with the bare board, a parts list and a set of build instructions. I have fond memories of souring the local HAMfest looking for all the parts needed with my father and learning to solder helping him assemble it. I wrote my first programs and connected to my first BBS, using a Novation Cat 300 baud acoustic coupler modem, on that computer. Eventually I was lured away by the colors and 3 sound voices of the Commodore 64.

I wrote a lot of my first programs on the TRS-80 Model I. It was fun to learn BASIC and more challenging to write programs in Z80 assembly language. Now, if I can only remember where put the War Dialer program I wrote ...

Nice video Joe. Happy you are back. Waiting for your retro computer build progess.

Love it! I'm glad you were able to get it working!

Why do you have such little views and subs? I feel like this is this video is at the level of having at least a couple thousand.

Great vid, thumbs up!

That was an easy fix! should see the video problem I have with a Model 1!

I'm restoring my Model 1. It's a pretty low serial number: 12890 And, it has the expansion port cover. :-) Having some sync issues at the moment and the keyboard ribbon cable was pretty much gone.

how do i fix my screen from flipping

Can you please tell me what that MEKO 6 pin capacitor like yellow can is, near R20 / R21 trim pots?

Well Done. *and now for a (Vectrex / Kaypro 4 Plus88) hybrid Blade Runner industrial neon world looking computing device (that allows us to access the internet)! #WhatWeReallyWant : )

Joe, follow your visa with great interest and wanted to contact you regarding replacing the drive in my old 2X. May I send you and email address? Appreciate your response. Thanks
