My contrast control does little when turned and brightness works but may look not as bright as it should because contrast control does little. What a could I do. Is this a capacitor issue? Maybe just clean the potentiometers. I have little experience w/tv electronics but great soldering...

The computer and the front of the DVI had been yellow as the sun, won't boot do to a bad cap, on and off video when I got this unit. I re-caped the computer, re-caped the DVI, retrobrighted the cases and installed a 2nd floppy drive. After a year of looking for just the right monitor found this...

I've shown this on in the past but all the photos went bye bye when I sold my business and retired. I was hosting all my photos on my old business site. This Vertical IBM AT was one of two super finds in my 15+ years collecting old computers. I've added a couple of things and have been trying...

I thought I was getting a large MFM drive cheap but before I hooked it up I found out it was a ESDI drive. My understanding is that the two are not compatible. If that the case I need some guidance on what controller to get. I would like to use it in a IBM 5170 or 5162 if possible...

I've had an old ST-225 drive that I've been using for a decade go bad. I could still get it to boot but after 15-30 minutes I hear the drive spin down then back up then down and stops at some point. I believe it might be a heat issue as after it cools down it will boot again. Any clue what...
