I picked up some IBM PS/2 PCs recently, me and my pal Mike are gonna see what works and what needs some percussive maintenance! 🔨 Come join us!

@xodium If you have the space, you can print out a 1-pager with all the info you want to share.

However... most people don't read them. As I often had to point to the sign (especially after my voice was horse after the 1st day of the show). But it does give basic details + a QR code for more info, etc.

Having these as a digital file on the device is neat, but if people don't read them while they're IRL, they may not bother to click on them to read them. Good luck!

Happy birthday! 🎂

@likesoldmacs ❤️

@tarhuntas thank you! 🐸

Let's take a look at a Macintosh Color Classic that needs some help and see if we can fix it! 👀 Going live in a few minutes...

@iiidiy Yeah, I think it may.

One thing’s for sure... I’m gonna need a bigger workbench! 🫢

@iiidiy I saw that in your latest video!! Great stuff!

Sadly mine was already cracked right in the middle, but thankfully it stays on snug (and of course I kept the broken pieces in a bag), thankfully the back came off without issue!

When I have time I’d love to try and clean them up as nice as yours, they look great! 👍

Large (heavy) things are in the works… 😮💨

Oh wow, getting quite close to a huge milestone… 😮

Thank you all for being awesome and subscribing, and if you haven’t yet, no better time like the present! 🍎

@alda I'm glad my silly video brought you some joy! Hope you heal up soon! 👍

@retrotechtom Ah, yeah you'll likely want to lead with the "last time it was on smoke came out" next time. 😅

When getting a new-to-you vintage computer, don't forget to do this ONE important thing before turning it on... 👀

@garthbeagle I love this so much 🤣❤️

@retrotechtom I’d wager it’s the power supply or the analog board. Likely a cap has failed or there’s a broken solder joint somewhere. Thankfully those are both fixable 👍

@MuseumJoe woo-hoooo! 🎉

@BigBadBiologist I'll take those useless PCBs off your hands!

Today we have a Mac IIci that has seen some better days, here's hoping we can get it working!

@sjcooke66 I have both of the physical manuals / user guides, thanks!

The serial port pinout I may be able to guess, but the software is an unknown and is likely needed.

Do you have a Panasonic NeoFile business card reader & PDA??

Do you also have the optional serial cable and NeoLink software? 💾

I’d love to play around with mine but the software isn’t archived and the serial port seems unique. 😫

Please share to help me find it! 🤞
