    Pacific Northwest ***WANTED ANY 80’s COMPUTER***

    Are you looking for free items or are you willing to pay? Where are you located? Would you need them shipped or are you looking to come pick them up? There may be clubs in your area where you can get old computers. I have some cherished computers that I may part with for the right money. All...

    Pacific Northwest wanted Wyse or VT 100 style terminal with keyboard

    Hello. I am looking for a good old CRT terminal to pair with my IMSAI replica. Must be working and with keyboard. Amber would be nice but green or white crt is ok. Prices on Ebay for these are nuts when most of them just end up in the landfill.

    Romulator working with Commodore 8296D?

    I know the Tynemouth one doesn't. No idea on the Romulator though. It works with non commodore machines so you think it would work. Please let me know as I also have an 8296 and it would be nice to have this in case it develops any fault.

    Pacific Northwest Commodore Pet 4016/4032

    I am looking for a 'Fat40' Commodore pet. It's ok if it's dead. As long as it's in good shape and screen/keyboard are intact. I am located in CA. Thanks in advance.

    Commodore PET 8296 Keyboard Servicing

    thread necro incoming... I have a 8296 and the keys were sluggish and the left shift key did not work at all. Took it apart. Cleaned pads with alcohol and then used the eraser to shine them up. 6B pencil on the contacts and voila! I can type light and fast on it now. All keys now working too.

    Beware of using UPS to ship retro computers

    Looks like too many items were in the same box with inadequate protection to stop them bumping against each other. The good news is if UPS packed this you can make a claim for the declared value.

    M3SE vs. FreeHD?

    I don't know anything about the M3SE but I can highly recommend the FreHD. I installed one internally in my 4p and it's amazing. I highly recommend this seller...

    Toshiba Libretto 100CT with Dock

    So they both work fine although the CMOS battery on the CT50 was drained. The CT50 has DOS 6.22/Win 3.11 and the CT 100 has A dual boot DOS/Win3.1 and Windows 98. If you want any other details let me know.

    Toshiba Libretto 100CT with Dock

    I have a couple in storage. They were working great when I put them up. Both were in their soft cases. Let me pull them out and if they are working, I would listen to reasonable offers for them. Both had Windows 98 installed as I recall. One may have had a DOS/Win3.1 dual boot. In any case I...

    TRS 80 Model 4 Should I buy?

    The description says when he turns it on it seeks from the floppy. That's a good sign. The tube is good too. Some contact cleaner may fix the screen control knobs(don't tell him that!). Its very dirty so the drives will need cleaning/alignment. No keys are missing either. It's probably an easy...

    Pet 8296 no longer seeing drive

    This will make you laugh. I had to take the dog to the vets so I put the Pet back in its usual place. Came back. Loaded up the test program from tape again and you see the results. Plugged in the SD2pet future all everything works! Power cycled and did it again and still all working. What the...
