Hi, Folks!
Had an account here a long time ago but just "re-found" the forums. I'm a TRS-80 fan - currently own four Mod1 CPUs, 2 EIs, and about 4 5" floppies that I've picked up along the way. Found a Mod3 for sale out in LA about 2yrs ago and have successfully refurbished that (48K, 2 drives). My next project (potentially) is a Mod4D (!) that I found on FB marketplace. Should arrive within a week or so and appears to have been boxed up by someone who knows the terms "double boxing" and "peanuts around heavy parts" ... but the 4D reportedly "does not power on." I'm hopeful that a power supply swap will solve the first problem. I've been connected with a few folks in the TRS-80 community and am a proud owner of a M1RE, M1SE, and a M3SE as well as replacement power supplies and keyboards for the Mod3.
Looking forward to connecting here with other interesting folks!
