It lives!

I got this Model III from the Paradise storage room sale. Untested, but I took a chance. The brightness & contrast controls had to be broken free and lubed. And it booted - then the line filter caps went. Snipped those. Got the floppy drives lubed and the heads cleaned - had to actually force-spin the spindles free of ~30 years of sitting in a hot, dusty building.

Back to 9th grade:

Point a webcam towards it and we can wait and watch for the power supply caps to smoke and sizzle!

My son wanted to know what nasty thing I was cooking down in the Geek Cave. Took a few days to clear it out :boom:

Looks pretty awesome all cleaned up! Glad it worked out for you.

Thanks! The TeleVideo terminal was a bit more work: http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?58314-Televideo-910

Since I didn't get the PET, these made pretty good consolation prizes.

I saw that post, really glad you got that working too.

FWIY - The guy who got the Pet is also having a tough time getting it to work. Surprisingly all the PC stuff I kept from in there works flawlessly.

Good to know. If he ever gives up trying to get it working....
