Hello, Recently I got an IBM PS/2 Model 30 8086 Computer with the 8503 monitor. It seems the monitor is not working and smells like burned electronics. I was hoping maybe someone had a service manual or a link to one. I've been looking for one on Google the last two hours and haven't had...

Hi all, I am looking for a timex sinclair 1000. I have to trade a IBM PCjr. I have the monitor, but its too expensive for me to ship and the closest fedex is about an hour+ away. Here is the PCjr. I will include a RCA cable so you can connect it to a TV, however I have no other cables for...

Hey guys, I have had my tandy 1000 EX computer for a while. I was wondering is it possible to use a 1.2mb diskette drive instead of the old 360kb drive in said computer? Reason I want to do this is because I have a bunch of 1.2 mb disks but about 2-3 360kb disks. Those are already used too...

hi all, I posted in a thread yesterday that I found a televideo TS 803 computer. I need the keyboard for it and was hoping i could trade my old PCjr for one. I have the PCjr and color monitor, however no keyboard or power cord, and I cannot test it. If you want, and I would probably prefer...

Hello all, Recently I found this in recycling. I spotted it's floppy drive from quite a ways away! I got it home and examined every inch of the casing. I saw that it was made by televideo, but thats about it. It has a single floppy drive, unlike the (similar looking) one in the link I'm...

Hey all, I have some old Apple floppy drives i found the other day. They are all in good shape, but i cant test them as I have no Apple computer. Two look like theyre for a //e and the other is plastic case but still sturdy. Id like to trade for an old IBM PCjr keyboard and power cord...

How many of you guys recall when stores had certain items? Like VHS tapes? You probably do, I am almost 15, but I remember when I was about 3-5 you could go to walmart and they had tons of VHS tapes! And I remember when gamestop sold the used original gameboy and even N64 games. I wish I was...

Hey guys! I got my model 4 about 2 days ago and I have been getting help from another member, idkraemer, via PM and Email. It is a fun machine but I only have the model 3 boot disk so I requested a few disks on the TRS-80 website. I will donate probably $10, is that enough? I don't want to...

Hey everybody! Soon (prob. this Friday) I will be getting a TRS-80 model 4 with the dust cover. The guy is asking $20 and he has a box of 5.25 floppies he doesn't want. Its a really nice looking machine. Only problem is, and I should be able to fix it with a bit of help from VCF, is there is...

Hey all! I recently got some 120 mb QIC-80 tapes for free and I want a drive to use them. It does not really matter to me if its internal or external (parallel port) but I'd like it to work. I have some extra items I can trade like a Soyo Slot 1 motherboard, IDE hdd disks, and some others...

Hello! I have a Playstation 2 slim (silver) in good working order. It worked when I used it 2 months ago. It does not have a AV or power cord at the moment but I can possibly find one in our house. Edit: I will trade for DOS and Windows 9x games rather than a commodore 64. I might get one...

I got said laptop out of the transferstation (recycling of electronics) and got it for free. Pretty cool. Installing windows 7 as I'm typing this.

Hello everyone! I just got a couple of things from my uncle, a cassette boombox, a sears super pong tele-games machine, and this little thing, a Laser Compumate 2. I was hoping to get some more info on it and an idea as of what to do with it. It has tabs punched out for telephone jacks but...
