This is the motor in question.

I'm working on rebuilding a pair of RX-02's in my 11/34. While one drive turned out OK, the other is a bit more of a challenge mainly due to the condition of the AC motor. The motor is not turning very well and very dirty, I was looking at how to take it apart and rebuild but it looks like the...

Perhaps i'm mistaken on the behavior of a drive when it boots. Do the tandon drives not 'home' the head to the home switch in the back on initialization? I'm trying to boot cp/m 2.2f from a known good disk.

I have an odd issue with my Kaypro II's drives maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Machine runs fine, it tries to seek but the head only moves maybe half an inch and stops so it' can't read any disks. I thought it was the stepper so I swapped the other drive just to make sure...

Hi all. My VT100 needs a new main basic video board, anyone have one for sale? I think it took a surge at some point ;( I'm located in Orlando but will buy from anywhere that has a working board to get this back up and running! Thanks! /brian

I know lots of folks have done this, but here's a few shots of the RetroBrite process used on my keyboard keys and the before/after on it. I use a very simple 3 ingredient recipe that I can mix in 4 ounce batches for tiny stuff. The case itself cleaned up really good with some Greased...

Hehe.. tough crowd but not much different than any other forum i've joined over the years and not quite as rough as the old BBS days with the trusty 14.4 :) Not sure i understand what some of the questions mean, like 'what model number'.. it's a trs 80 model 3? not sure what else there is to...

Sorry for my first post as a newb here being a want to buy, but my drive's door has failed on me and won't stay shut so I can't load disks on my Model 3 :( Alternately, if anyone knows of a fix for when the white pins in the drive latch won't stay in place holding the drive closed i'm all ears...
