Has there ever been thought to having a VCF show in Phoenix or even Tucson? The closest shows are Southwest in Texas and West in Northern CA and now VCF SoCal in the LA area but it would be great if there was something within driving distance of Phoenix. Even Las Vegas would be better than the...

I got a Compaq Deskpro 2000 P166 WITHOUT MMX yesterday and it was apparently owned by the FAA. It had a multi-serial card plus another serial/lpt card plus the built-in one. It runs just fine but of course the battery was dead so I replaced it (why do they solder them in). It needs the date set...

I bought a Model 50Z a few months ago and I finally got around to working on it today. The power supply didn't seem to power up so I troubleshot today and found a shorted tantalum cap on the -12V rail. I removed the cap and have some on order but I figured it should boot now. With the stock...

I bought a 5170 on EBay a couple of months ago and when it arrived I realized the battery had leaked and it looked pretty bad near the keyboard connector. Today I decided to see just how bad so I took some vinegar and brushes and was able to get a lot of the "stuff" cleaned off and now I think...
