Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80 - Restoring, repair, recapping and testing games 

Nice to se it working ! First time in 35 years this machine has been plugged in..

Hey. Nice video. Thanks for showing some games on it. It is the first time I see a Tandy Color. I think, at least this model :)

Very nice video. Before I finish watching, I want to clarify the naming scheme. The Color Computer was a completely separate product line from the Model 1, II, III, IV, etc. While they were based on Z80 CPUs, all the Color Computers had the Motorola 6809 CPU. The term "Model" was not part of the Color Computer nomenclature. The three variants of the "CoCo" were the Color Computer 1, 2, and 3. If you see the word "Model" in the name then it's one of the Z80-based machines, not a Color Computer. It seems Tandy had the idea that business users should not have colour capability. The Motorola 6809, incidentally, was a phenomenal CPU for its time, far superior to its 8-bit contemporaries. A blast to program.

Interesting to see this, I have a slightly later model of this computer with a white case and a better keyboard and 64K RAM.. I don't think I will switch it on anytime soon after your RIFA caps blew.

Fun video. Keep em coming

First of all, I have to say it is nice to see you doing an on-camera intro to your videos now -- it works well 👍. The CoCo was rather popular in Canada back in the 80s. There were mainly two groups of computer nerds at my highschool back them, those who used TRS80 Color Computers and those who used C64s (like me). And interestingly, the same people moved to Atari STs and Amiga 500s, respectively, in the mid-80s. It is great to see this CoCo working again. I thought you would have dead ICs for sure. Hopefully, you will figure out a CoCo-1 composite mod for a future video.

I just got mine. Also replace all the big ceramic caps with tiny new ones. 100V. Very inexpensive.
