Hello my patrons! I've been really sick all week with a terrible cold. :-( I've had two covid tests and both are negative, so it's just a cold, but it's a doozy and I've been pretty much useless all week. I finally felt up to doing a little editing today so I finished up this video for next week. 

Besides the unboxing here on the second channel, I'll be showing a video on this machine on the main channel the week after next... Really because the machine was out on the bench and I thought it would be fun to dig into more. (I'm trying not to spoil anything here.) 

Anyway, I hope to be better soon -- I think I'm starting to finally feel better. I'll know more once I get off the constant stream of cold meds I've been taking.

0035 Finally, a TRS-80 Coco 1 in the basement!

On today's SMMC, a lovely viewer has sent in his old family's TRS-80 Color Computer 1, a Multi-PAK and a floppy disk drive. While I have a Coco 2 and 3, I have never had a Coco 1, a very popular computer in the US and Canada. -- Video Links Adrian's Digital Basement Merch store: https://my-store-c82bd2-2.creator-spring.com/ Support the channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/adriansdigitalbasement Adrian's Digital Basement (Main Channel) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE5dIscvDxrb7CD5uiJJOiw -- Tools Deoxit D5: https://amzn.to/2VvOKy1 http://store.caig.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1602/.f O-Ring Pick Set: (I use these to lift chips off boards) https://amzn.to/3a9x54J Elenco Electronics LP-560 Logic Probe: https://amzn.to/2VrT5lW Hakko FR301 Desoldering Iron: https://amzn.to/2ye6xC0 Rigol DS1054Z Four Channel Oscilloscope: https://www.rigolna.com/products/digital-oscilloscopes/1000z/ Head Worn Magnifying Goggles / Dual Lens Flip-In Head Magnifier: https://amzn.to/3adRbuy TL866II Plus Chip Tester and EPROM programmer: (The MiniPro) https://amzn.to/2wG4tlP https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33000308958.html TS100 Soldering Iron: https://amzn.to/2K36dJ5 https://www.ebay.com/itm/TS100-65W-MINI-Digital-OLED-Programmable-Soldering-Iron-Anti-static-Structure/113382669853 EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter: https://www.eevblog.com/product/121gw/ DSLogic Basic Logic Analyzer: https://amzn.to/2RDSDQw https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Logic-DSLogic-Basic-Analyzer-16Ch-100MHz-4Ch-400MHz-Xilinx-Spartan-6-FPGA/202543965672 Magnetic Screw Holder: https://amzn.to/3b8LOhG https://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-magnetic-parts-tray-90566.html Universal ZIP sockets: (clones, used on my ZIF-64 test machine) https://www.ebay.com/itm/14-16-18-20-24-28-32-40-pin-IC-Test-Universal-ZIF-Socket-Fs/303206721971 RetroTink 2X Upconverter: (to hook up something like a C64 to HDMI) http://www.retrotink.com/ Plato (Clone) Side Cutters: (order five) https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-5-10PCS-Micro-Scissor-125mm-PLATO-170-Electronics-Cutter-Side-Cutting-Pliers/163458746184 Heat Sinks: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32537183709.html Little squeezy bottles: (available elsewhere too) https://amzn.to/3b8LOOI --- Links My GitHub repository: https://github.com/misterblack1?tab=repositories Commodore Computer Club / Vancouver, WA – Portland, OR – PDX Commodore Users Group https://www.commodorecomputerclub.com/ --- Instructional videos My video on damage-free chip removal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQVjwPsVFd8 --- Music Intro music and other tracks by: Nathan Divino @itsnathandivino

Mine have the "Chicklet" keys.

Glad you are feeling better sir. I hope you can answer this question....I have watched your videos on repairing floppy drive gears. Well, I have a very old (1994) 1X NEC CDROM with the same problem. You purchased your gears from someone....any chance you think they could manufacture a few for me? I'd of course pay for them, just wondered what the process is.

Those gears fail on the Apple disk drives like crazy, so people made replica parts. I have a feeling there isn't much love for such a NEC CDROM drive.
