I picked up a green CRT from Jay's site, and made the swap this evening. Works great! While I was in there, I proactively replaced the large RIFA cap in the power supply.

Which "Late-model HP-3000"? Any pictures?

Thanks, Ian. Do you have compatible CRT part numbers?

My 4P currently has the white CRT. Is it possible to simply swap out the white one for a green CRT, or does the green CRT require a different sweep PCB? Are the CRTs still available?

The monitor in the Executive doesn't seem to have a vertical hold adjustment, at least according to the schematic I found. A monitor schematic can be found in the "sheets.zip" file, here:

Nice find! If you discover that you have duplicates of any of the official Otrona manuals, I might be interested.

Does your machine have the optional 8086 coprocessor board installed?

Look for a shorted tantalum cap on the 12V rail. I had the same problem on a 8" Mitsubishi drive on the 24V rail.

Ditto! I'll be there, with a 6000HD running original BBS code. Hope to bring home some of your hardware.

Question for Ian Mavric or George Phillips...

Are George's patches for ANSITERM necessary for the original Radio Shack 26-1126 HiRes graphics board, or just the Grafyx boards? Scrolling is...

My original Model 4 from 1984, with 1/2-height DSDD drives, 128KB RAM, Tandy 26-1126 Hi-Res graphics board, and Langley St. Clair amber CRT. It's displaying a picture of my HP 2113E exhibit from a...

I automatically assume that any 6000 keyboard that hasn't had a foam pad upgrade will need one. If not now, then eventually. If you disassemble the keyboard, then remove the key assembly from the...

That's usually my philosophy for exhibiting at VCF. I like to show machines that people don't often see. I've done several HP exhibits, including an HP 1000 (2113E) running RTE-6/VM, and most...

I have to take issue with this point. Osborne bundled CP/M 2.2, Wordstar/Mailmerge, Supercalc, MBASIC and CBASIC with their Osborne 1 in 1981. Kaypro did the same thing in 1982.

I tried to contact Stephen Dorsey, but heard nothing back.

Can anyone identify the desktop computer/terminal in these pictures?

I have not - not currently set up for it. Do you think that would unstick the tension band from the tape?

To continue this old thread, I have a couple of HP 88140LC cartridge tapes which I would like to try and resurrect. These are NIB, but the tension bands have deteriorated. In two other cartridges, I...

I'm looking for an HP printer, model 2934A, 2933A or 2932A. HP-IB interface preferred, but RS-232 is okay. PM if you have one available.
