:) some things, as I’m sure you know, you just can’t part with!

“Gas & Oil”, nice analogy. Shame that the day will come when, along with crank windows, kids won’t know what they are. :/

I still have my Coolermaster V10, a ridiculously massive 775/1366 cooler. Think it was around ‘09 I bought it.

That’s a broken trace. Here’s images from two I have.

Old thread I know. I bought one of these in ‘82 to go with my Electrohome ECM1302-2 RGBi monitor. With it, you could display composite video. The box would hook on the back of the monitor vents. CGA graphics with more than four colours? MS-Flight Simulator looked great!

Thank you, the link you provided has the TG3020 disk images I am seeking. Obviously, my Navigation skills are not the best.

How is the case cover restoration coming along? With that odd semi flat colour on that textured surface, it will be a challenge.

Back in the day I had my ZX81 hooked to a 12” TV that is long gone. Thinking of doing the composite mod and buying one of these. Would be fun to see that Ready prompt again.

Wow. That is a very nice 5150. The seller knows his stuff and it’s really presented well. Now if only I could convince my wife I need another one… :)

I believe you need to disassemble to correctly reinstall. Dental floss helps too.

It’s neat that they run on 110v a/c, maybe that’s why they’re so quiet.
