@NeXT: If your CEC system is working, don't remove it. If it quits working, first investigate if the carburettor needs to be rebuilt. That's the...

Yup, the "bolt mod" is to hold the whole shebang together after you've cut off the tops of the mushroomed studs to get the thing apart. I don't...

I hear this nonsense from the few sour apples that stop to talk to me. They tell me what an idiot I am for owning such a car, how disgruntled...

Nope--I got this for evaluating 2- and 3-terminal devices. Some PROM programmers claim to be able to test SSI and some MSI ICs and memory, but...

The young 'uns don't know what "resource limited" means. The Control Data 6600 was classed as a "Supercomputer". Any guess on the CPU clock speed?...

What kind of stink bugs do you have? Everyone here calls box elder bugs "stink bugs" because they yoosta only be found burning away on top of...

What model DVD drive do you have? The CD drive on the Ultra 5 is IDE like the hard drive IIRC.

Remove the CMOS battery and unplug the system from the wall if possible, then press the power button in to drain whatever is left in the line...

Dokken, If that Floppy Drive with the broken door latch is a Tandon TM-100 Series, I've just got some 3D Printer parts for those drives. I haven't...

Oh, no argument intended; just a case of forewarned is forearmed. The Haynes procedure for the 350 has 225 steps listed and illustrated. User...

If it's a TH350 make sure you shim the end play to specs, and remember planetary gears won't tolerate dirt. Good luck to you, it sounds like you'll...

No, it means the transmission I want to rebuild belongs to a 2nd vehicle. It would likely take me 2 or more months to complete. If I were lucky...

Specs are in the advertisement.

. . . and in the meantime, I suppose you just walk? :)

Ok so you can determine functionality of general ic's with that?

I'm not going to argue over this, I was just making the point that it's doable. There are way more detailed and specific manuals then the Haynes. A...

There is an older discussion here about IO port address decoding:...

Apple model III $600 https://wausau.craigslist.org/sys/d/apple-iii-computer-vintage/6703105213.html

I guess we've gone off topic but ..... In the 70's I worked for a Chevy dealer and was lucky enough to get sent to GM's automatic transmission...

Very impressive, in all respects, not just the content but the organization and neatness as well.

I have another model that didn't have a box but it got dropped and the screen cable broke so I went with one that had the box for protection. They...

I think they're all the same basic design--you can purchase bare-board kits on eBay for these things as well. Mostly, I want something to sort...

That is a breakout box for checking serial or parallel signal lines off those HUGE Glenair connectors. I ran the UYK-43A mainframe aboard a...

I have no plan to test them. the plan is to replace them before they become an issue.

Sure, by trained professionals who specialize in such work and do it for a living. My dad was a bit of a perfectionist; when the manuals say...
