    I have been restoring a 5160 and a 5154 Monitor I bought at the same time. I found out that the MDA card installed in the 5160 will not work with the monitor, giving me just a raster on the monitor. However I found a tested working EGA card on ebay and purchased that but have the same...

    EGA 8 Bit Video Card for my 5160

    I purchased a 5160 base unit and 5154 monitor from a 'museum display' both sold as non-working. Both had faults, the monitor had a PSU issue that I fixed and the base unit had a tantalum cap gone on the FDD shutting the PSU down. With both items fixed I soon realised the base unit and monitor...

    IBM 5160 - Stripdown Cleanup and Repair.

    All done, its amazing how small modern caps are I went for a mix of Panasonic EE and FC series capacitors. I tested all the caps that come out, the ones on the left (plus the RIFA's) are out of spec, 1 is short, 1 is 10% and one 50%, the ones on the right are frightfully on spec, like...

    IBM 5160 - Stripdown Cleanup and Repair.

    Had a quick look, so basically all the PSU's rectifiers work as a voltage doubler, which is bypassed by the link I have circled in this photo. So the power supplies are the same UK and US :)

    Well after a cup of tea and some egg sandwiches curiosity won ! I opened her up and removed the PSU, its riveted together so have to take a trip to the garden workshop and drill them out, the PSU although looking hot in a few places did not look too bad. The pulsing I had heard is...
