I have been away a while, and am back, catching up
I was forced to get rid of my collection about 3 years ago, and have been going through rough patches here and there
I apologize for not replying to messages and my general disappearance.
I've recently acquired an IBM 5150 64-256kb system, circa 1983
256kb ram
20mb plus card
MDA with printer port
I have some upgrades coming for it and may be hitting up the marketplace for things *if it is around still*
But
I have a question about the Tandon TM100-2a - The PC came with 2
One works famously
The second has a seized stepper, i can get it to move, but don't know if i can re-lubricate it or not. I tried lubing the rails, but all that did was nothing. I have a third drive, a magnetic peripherals that didn't have any lube in the channel left. Freed it and applied white lithium, works like a charm now.
I'd really, really like to get the second tandon living again, but have no know-how about the stepper motors.
Also - Looking for an ample supply of floppy disks..
