Trash to Treasure? I rescued these four TRS-80 systems from the trash. Can I resurrect them? 

“Cromulent signal” - that got you a subscribe right there 😂

Wow I don’t even know about computers I just love watching you fix things, so calm and collected 😅

I can't believe this is the first time I've seen a TRS-80. It looks like these are certainly in gentle, skilled hands.

What a huge work! 😲

Very nice, you're off to a great start! Look forward to more vintage repairs

I'm hooked. Such a nice guy, and so dedicated, what's not to like? Keep them coming buddy.

At 4:14 - Those dodgy caps look like RIFA's, they're guaranteed to fail just like the Varta batteries.

Great video! I'll basically parrot all of the praise the other commenters have given. I'm looking forward to seeing you progress through the collection!

Awesome video. It was quite satisfying watching the disassembly and cleaning portion and fascinating witnessing the troubleshooting process. It actually brought a smile to my face when the thing kicked on and started doing stuff; I got a surge of excitement! Great job. I hope to see some more content like this.

Bud, You are gonna be huge somedazy. I like your presentation style. very precise, and Interesting finds. Gonns be watching you explode in subs

You deserve more subscribers.

Great troubleshooting. Very easy to follow your thinking. Well done so far!

wow, very amazing!

Hey - Loving these videos. These are what I was brought up with at school and it is nice that you can see more how they work. Unlike everything these days which are just a few chips on a mainboard. Hopefully you make many more!

Superb you managed to save all these i am not sure how well tandy computers sold in the uk but they sure are great looking machines ..

Loving your videos, this channel has the potential to go a long way. Love that you used the word cromulent too 😂

Nerds are so cool! Enjoy your videos, (Not that I understand it, LOL)

Nice work. And what luck finding 4 (more even) TRS80s on the road, I would love to find even 1.

Wow! Those are the exact TRaSh-80's my High School used in their Computer Lab back in 80's. They were a lot of fun to play with!

I wanted a TRS-80 model 3 for years and years, then I bought a couple 5 years ago and I hate them now. They break if you look at them wrong.

I absolutely loved my Model 4 back in the early eighties. We pronounced TRS-DOS as: "Triss DOS".

Those RIFAs, lol. Yea they took out my Apple IIe too, luckily the system worked still after a PSU swap. Just not made to keep working after ~40 years.

I just removed all the paint at the front side of my Model III's keyboard. Half of it was already gone and the remainder gave up quite easily.

....I went to a couple Adult Education Schools and found what I thought would be Useful skills/Knowledge. It was during this time I signed up for their Typing Class. At one school, I learned to type and began to learn about writing in BASIC. What was so good...kinda...was in one school, we were only doing book learning of BASIC, at the school, I could run those BASIC programs, run them and print out the programs for the class.

Dude who finds these in the trash! Crazy.

OMG, Mike....the TRS 80, model III is the very first computer that I got to use..back in 1981-82-ish. The school used them to help teach BASIC...it was really 'basic BASIC'. That language was a great starting point if you wanted to go into computer programming. The class wasn't 'great'...but it was Good. On the first day, we were all given a 5" floppy and before you turned the computer on, you inserted the floppy and I'm guessing...that its operating system was on the floppy...and the machine itself had a volatile memory. We didn't get into the Tech aspect of the TRS-80, also known as The Trash 80...was kind of cruel but those people loved their Amegas

I'd have gone back and gotten the other two. Note: a cable has more than one strand; otherwise, it is a wire.

I have an apple work group server that makes the crash sound but I hope it can be restored

the TRS 80 was the 1st computer I had. I should have keeep it

Damm...overhere nothing like that ends up in the trash...even if its just a socket 7 pentium people label it as a rarity and advertise it for a months worth of salary

Criminal to throw these out.

well, historically, they were always referred to as the "Trash-80", so...

Can someone forward this to DKOLDIES on how to refurbish an entire system? LOL
