I would, but the screws are too small.

Thanks and you are close by. I forgot to post the part number of this drive--> IBM part # 90X6766. I prefer to get this drive running, but I removed it (fairly difficult process, btw) and discovered that the top cover plate is attached to the sides by 7 small head Phillips screws, that would...

I have an IBM PS/2 Model 80 that I'm trying to bring back to life. I just replaced the cmos battery, but at startup i'm getting the Errors 161, 163. I have read that the IBM Reference Disk needs to be inserted into the floppy drive in order to start the boot process. I have the disk and...

Hey all GRID lovers. I bought a sizeable collection of GRID computers and accessory parts several years ago from a deaf Iraq War veteran. I sold off the computers (except for a choice working GridCase II with the red Plasma Screen) last year at the VCM-MW show in Chicago (Vintage Computer...

I have a working Macintosh Plus w. 4 MB ram, but the keyboard has two keys nor working: the ">" key and the space-bar. I tried repairing the keys to no avail and I need either a partially working keyboard to scavenge key switches from or a fully working keyboard. I also need a mouse cord. The...

I rescued a Mac-Plus that I'm trying to get running again. It's in great shape and boots to OS 6 fine, but the mouse is missing and the keyboard won't work without a mouse attached. If anyone has an Apple mouse w. 9-pin connector that they could part with for a few bucks (or trade), please let...

When NeXT sold their hardware division to Canon it developed the Object.Station 41 to run Steve Jobs NeXTSTEP software. Not many of these solidly-built computers were sold, so they are scarce and hard to find remnants of the Steve Jobs NeXT "empire". My Ebay auction # 190616817123

I just acquired a Canon Object.Station 41 in excellent working condition. It was designed to run Nextstep software and is a rare clone of the Jobs designed NEXT system.:o I'd like to learn more about it and may consider offering it for sale or trade....

I don't know where else to post for help with a vintage laser printer, but I need to find a replacement fuser for my 1992 workhorse EPSON EPL-7000 laser printer. It's been a great machine for cranking out cheap B&W pages and I can't afford the $200+ cost that EPSON charges for a NOS part.:(...
