The commercial life of the TI-99/4 was however short with the announcement of its replacement with the 99 / 4A which would then be presented at the "Consumer Electronics Show", on June 30, 1981.
In order not to disappoint its customers, Texas Instruments offered to replace the old computer / 4 with the new Texas Instruments TI-99 / 4A totally free of charge but on the condition that the purchase of the / 4 had been at least 6 months before. of the release of the new model, only the shipping costs were charged to the customer.
The company T.I. tried to market the Texas Instruments TI-99/4 also in Italy and France, but due to delays, its distribution was immediately interrupted to make way for the / 4A already present in the US market. In any case, in Europe the 99/4 found no interest in the market also precisely because of the monitor alley which had a US NTSC standard and therefore problematic for European standards. Texas Instruments, strangely, never officially announced the discontinuation of the TI-99/4. In total, around 25,000 units were produced.
TI-99/4 with inernal Speaker. In the end we also managed to get a nice TI-99/4 with internal speaker and volume control. In this photo a 32Kbyte memory expansion and an RS232 interface complete the set.
Here are the original manuals and the masks to use for playing or teaching.
A detail from the inside, the PCB with an operational amplifier, used to drive the internal speaker via the volume slider potentiometer, which is located on the bottom of the TI-99/4.
Compared to all the others, this version has a very important peculiarity to keep in mind: the power supply that provides the three voltages (+12vdc, +5vdc and -5vdc) is not located inside the computer but outside in a plastic box as shown in the photo.
It is important to note that the 4-pin connector has a different sized pin than the other 3 pins.

Home Computer TI-99/4A Enhanced version of the TI-99/4 model marketed at the end of 1979, it was placed on the market starting from June 1981, had a certain diffusion especially in the USA but due to the commercial war with Commodore International it was unable to achieve a significant number of sales, especially due to the success of the Commodore 64, and production ceased just two years after launch. It supports lowercase writing, unlike some machines of the time which required specific expansion, and a full-travel keyboard, and is based on the TMS-9900, a 16-bit CPU clocked at 3 MHz. The graphics are 16 colors with a video resolution of 256 x 192 pixels, organized in 32 columns x 24 rows, with characters (ASCII or user definable) based on 8 x 8 pixels.
Built around a single block, which contains the CPU, the motherboard and the cartridge slot (SSC Solid State Cartridge), it also had a 5.25" floppy disk drive, a serial card, among other options. RS-232 equipped with two serial ports and one parallel, a P-Code card for supporting the Pascal programming language, a thermal printer, an acoustic coupler, tape drives for saving and loading data (on normal cassettes), a pair of joysticks and a 32 kB memory expansion. The peculiarity of the machine was that it was sold already equipped with a monitor (a modified version of a 13" Zenith Color TV), as the RF adapter for connection to a normal TV it never obtained certification from the Federal Communications Commission. In Italy it was sold without a monitor and the video output was fully compatible with normal televisions. Another peculiarity for the time was the presence of an optional speech synthesizer, exactly like the one present in the Atari 2600, which allowed the software or games to be equipped with speech synthesis. The synthesizer was provided free of charge to customers after the purchase of a certain number of cartridges, and was widely used in several video games written by TI itself.

In August of 1983 TI released the TI-99/4A QI. Though this name was not official for the console, it was what the motherboard was designated. QI stood for Quality Improved. No visual changes were made to the exterior of the console, and in fact they are very hard to distinguish from the beige models. On the other hand, major changes were made to the internal components of the QI. We will take a look at these changes a little later.
One change that was made that created major grumbling was TI's decision to change the internal workings to lockout unlicensed ROM cartridges. This was done to keep other 3rd party companies from producing cartridges for the TI-99/4A. Not all QI consoles had this "feature", and even non QI, later beige consoles may have. It is easy to determine if you have the lockout or not. Look at the first screen (the one with the color bars) when you turn on the console, if you show a copyright date of 1981 you do not have the lockout, but if it shows a copyright date of 1983 then you do.
The TI-99/4 and TI-99/4A are home computers released by Texas Instruments in 1979 and 1981, respectively. Based on the Texas Instruments TMS9900 microprocessor originally used in minicomputers, the TI-99/4 was the first 16-bit home computer, and the associated video display controller provided color graphics and sprite support that was among the best of its era.
The calculator-style keyboard of the TI-99/4 was cited as a weak point, and TI's reliance on ROM cartridges and their practice of limiting developer information to select third parties resulted in a lack of software for the system. The TI-99/4A was released in June 1981 to address some of these issues, featuring a simplified internal design, full-travel keyboard, improved graphics, and a unique expansion system. At half the price of the original model, sales picked up significantly and TI supported the 4A with peripherals, including a speech synthesizer and a "Peripheral Expansion System" box to contain hardware add-ons. TI released developer information and tools, but the insistence on remaining sole publisher continued to starve the platform of software.
The 1981 US launch of the TI-99/4A followed the Commodore VIC-20 by several months. Commodore's CEO Jack Tramiel had once been offended by TI's predatory pricing during the mid-1970s, and retaliated with a price war by repeatedly lowering the price of the VIC-20 and forcing TI to do the same. By 1983, the 99/4A was selling for under US$100, at a loss. Even with the increased user base created by the heavy discounts, Texas Instruments suffered a US$330 million loss in the third quarter of 1983 and announced the discontinuation of the TI-99/4A in October 1983, with production ended in March 1984.
The TI-99/4 was intended to fit in the middle of a planned range of TI-99 computers, none of which were ultimately released but prototypes and documentation have been rediscovered after the TI-99/4A was discontinued.

Info: The TIPC is very similar to the IBM PC both architecturally and from a user-experience perspective, with some technically superior aspects.It is based on the Intel 8088 CPU and an optional Intel 8087 floating point coprocessor. It supports MS-DOS compatible operating systems,but is not a fully IBM PCcompatible computer. Alternative operating systems are CP/M-86, Concurrent CP/M-86, and the UCSD p-System. The TIPC was reviewed in Byte magazine in its December 1983 issue. The CPU clocked at 5 MHz (a bit faster than the 4.77 MHz of the IBM PC) and has 64 KB of RAM pre-installed. A RAM board can be installed in an expansion slot providing an additional 192 KB or RAM, for a maximum of 256 KB. A later version supports up to 768 KB of total memory. The computer featured 5 expansion slots and has either a 12-inch green-phosphor monochrome (CRT) monitor or a 12-inch color monitor with a color graphics resolution of 720x300 pixels. For text, the display shows 25 lines of 80 columns each. The device has a 5¼-inch floppy disk drive and can support a second floppy drive or a "Winchester" hard drive without requiring the use of an expansion slot or separate chassis, and typically features one of each.
Troubleshooting
For this TIPC we used a Seagate ST225 (20 mByte) to be formatted with option 4 (miniscribe 3425). One thing that takes you back in time is the wship.com command from DOS 2.13 that allows you to park the HD heads.
As for the floppy we used this 360 kByte y53, as we have to repair the original one.

TroubleShooting
Video Tests
Here you can see some video card tests.
Here we tell you about some necessary repairs after the mother board broke, during the 2nd edition dedicated to Texas Instruments in the city of Rieti in 2023.
Mother Board broke
The first thing to do in the event of a fault is to check the status of the three LEDs above the mother board CR1, CR2, CR3. Normal operation at boot is the switching on of all three and subsequently the switching on of the red, orange and solid green. In our case all three are turned on, the manual states that there is a block in reading the EPROMs.
We started investigating both with the oscilloscope and with a logic analyzer, we concentrated on reading the data and in particular on U61.
We noticed that on the EPROM side and on the U61 (74LS245) bus transceiver side, the data was not moving. After replacement, the mother board works again
Blank Screen
The problem is having the screen black after a few seconds, while it goes black the images tend to distort.

After checking that the power supplies are correct, we moved on to the various clocks, including the 4 clocks out of phase with each other of the TMS9900 CPU, then we moved on to the clock of the TMS9929 VDP, we were lucky it wasn't correct, we replaced the quartz and the capacitor from 12 pF.
VDP RAM wrong
If you have a problem with the 4116 video RAM and you don't have the oscilloscope, you can basically use these photos to find the faulty RAM. This help is useful if one of the RAMs has the DOUT pin locked (broken ram).
Wiring diagram.
The videoprocessor use in the TI-99/4A comes in three flavors, that differ uniquely by the kind of output signal they send to the monitor port.
The TMS9918A issues a 525-lines, NTSC signal for US television format.
The TMS9928A issues a 525-line signal, in the form of a B&W luminance/sync signal and two color differential signals. This is meant to drive a RGB monitor, with a minimal external circuitery.
The TMS9929A issues a 625-line signal, in the same format as the 9928A. It is meant for use with the european PAL system.
DEBUGGING HELP

PROBLEM AREAS
1 CONSOLE WILL NOT POWER UP
1.1 General information.
Failure of the TI-99/4A console to power up and produce the TI title screen is a common problem that is also the hardest to track down and fix since failure of nearly any component in the console or power supply can cause this.
The following are not intended as solutions to the problem, but merely as points to check that may aid in finding the actual problem and fixing it.
Unless a particular part is suspected, replace any socketed chips possible with known working equivalents before de-soldering any components. Since the socketed chips are common causes of lock up, eliminating them as possible problems first may save excess soldering on the board. The console will power up if the sound chip is removed entirely, but not if that chip is shorted internally.
A simple TTL logic probe can be used for tracing signals in the circuit. An oscilloscope may also be used and has the advantage of being able to check clock signals for proper frequency. When a signal should exist as an output from a particular device, be sure to check that device's input for proper signals before attempting to replace the component. When checking for locked up signals, try to trace all signals back through the circuit to the point of origin. A set of schematics (available from several sources, including TI) will help greatly in this part of debugging.
Tracing locked signals can determine whether or not the signal is missing due to a faulty component that it must pass through or what power up operation was occurring during lock up.
1.2 Console power up procedure.
A. TMS9900 CPU resets and addresses low ROM locations.
B. TMS9900 initializes.
C. TMS9900 sets up workspace registers in MCM6810 RAM.
D. TMS9900 begins GROM read.
E. TMS9900 enters delay loop for about 1/4 second.
F. TMS9919 sound chip is disabled.
G. TMS9918A VDP chip is initialized.
H. 4116 VDP RAM is initialized (requires about 1 second).
I. Title screen is loaded into VDP.
J. TMS9919 sound chip emits beep.
K. TMS9900 CPU enters keyboard scan.
L. System is ready for use.
1.3 Voltage/signal checklist.
A. Check power supply for +5V, +12V, and -5V. Lack of -5V often results in a grey flickering screen on power up.
Check for +5V on chips throughout board.
Check TMS9900 for -5V at pin^1; +5V at pins^2, 33, 59, and 64; and +12V at pin^27. If any voltages are missing, check for shorts on main board. Replace power supply if necessary.
B. Check TMS9900 pins^8, 9, 25, and 28 for clock signal. If not found, check TIM9904 clock generator pins^1, 2, 3, and 4 for clock signal. If not found, check TIM9904 supply voltages (+5V at pin^20, +12V at pin^13), crystal, and tank circuit. If no external problem can be found, possible TIM9904 failure.
C. Check TMS9918A pin^39 and pin^40 for the 10.73863 MHz clock. If missing, check crystal and oscillator circuit. Otherwise, check TMS9918A pin^36 and pin^37 for clock outputs. If not found, remove GROMs and sound processor (located next to GROMs) and test again for clock. If missing, possible TMS9918A failure. Reinsert GROMs and sound processor after tests.
D. Check TMS9918A pins^14 (-CSW) and^15(-CSR) for lock up. If locked up, check memory enable from pin^6 of 74LS32 and pin^13 of 74LS138 located next to MCM6810. Trace signal to find possible failure.
E. Check TMS9918A pin^13 (MODE) for lock up. If locked up, trace signal back to TMS9900. Also check for other components that may be locking up this line (it is used as A14). If no other fault can be found on that line, possible TMS9918A failure.
F. Check TMS9918A pin^1 (-RAS), pin^2 (-CAS), and pin^11 (-R/W) for lock up. If locked up, possible TMS9918A failure.
G. Check TMS9918A pins^17 through 24 (data lines) for signals. If missing, trace to fault. Possible TMS9918A or TMS9900 failure.
H. Check TMS9918A pins^3 through 10 (RAM address/data lines) for signals. If missing, possible TMS9918A failure.
I. Check 4116 RAM pin^14 (DATA OUT) on each chip for signal. Each chip missing signal may be at fault as well as TMS9918A.
J. Check TMS9900 pin^62 (READY) for lock up. If locked up, check TMS9900 pin^6 (-RESET) for signal. If pin^6 is locked up low, possible TIM9904 failure. If high, possible TMS9900 failure. If TMS9900 pin^6 is not locked up, trace circuit back from pin^62 to find fault.
K. Check all three GROMs (CD2155, CD2156, and CD2157) at pin^10 (-CS) and pin^15 (GREADY) for signals. If either is missing, remove all three GROMs and test pin^10 again for signal. If the signal at pin^10 does not exist, trace back through circuit to find failure. If signal exists, replace GROMs one at a time until GROM that causes lock up on pin^15 is found.
L. Check all three GROMs for signal on pin^11 (M0/A14) and pin^12 (M1/DBIN). If missing, trace circuit to find break in signal path.
M. Check each GROM for -5V at pin^14, +5V at pin^9, and -.8V to -.6V at pin^16. If missing, check for broken trace. If -.8V/-.6V is missing or at
-5V, check diode connected to that line.
N. Remove sound generator. If console powers up, check pin^16 for +5V, pin^4 for clock from TMS9918A, pin^5 (-WE) for signal, and pin^6 (-CS) for signal from 74LS138 closest to MCM6810. If these signals exist, possible sound chip failure.
O. Check TMS9918A pin^36 for composite video output. If missing, check TMS9918A crystal and clock circuit and pin^16 (-INT) for interrupt signal. If signals exist, possible TMS9918A failure.
P. Check GROMs for clock on pin^13. If missing, check clock output on TMS9918A pin^37. If signal on TMS9918A exists, check for break in signal path. If not, check TMS9918A oscillator circuit. If oscillator operates, possible TMS9918A failure.
Q. Check pin^20 (-CS) of console ROMs for lockup. If locked up, trace circuit back to find fault.
R. Check pins^7 and 9 through 15 of 74LS138 nearest I/O port to determine memory area accessed during lock up. Check pin^4 (-MEMEN) for lock up. If no signal can be found on pin^7 or pins^9 through 15, possible 74LS138 failure.
S. Check pin^11 (-CS) of MCM6810 RAMs for lock up. If locked up, trace circuit back to find fault.
T. Check TMS9901 pin^5 (-CE) for lock up. If locked up, check 74LS138 nearest I/O port for failure. Check TMS9901 pin^11, 17, and 18 for lock up. If locked up, trace circuit back to find fault.

The Apple Computer 1, originally released as the Apple Computer and known later as the Apple I or Apple-1, is an 8-bit desktop computer released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976. It was designed by Steve Wozniak. The idea of selling the computer came from Wozniak's friend and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. The Apple I was Apple's first product, and to finance its creation, Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator for $500 and Jobs sold a second hand VW Microbus, for a few hundred dollars (Wozniak later said that Jobs planned instead to use his bicycle to get around). Wozniak demonstrated the first prototype in July 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California.
Production was discontinued on September 30, 1977, after the June 10, 1977 introduction of its successor, the Apple II, which Byte magazine referred to as part of the "1977 Trinity" of personal computing (along with the PET 2001 from Commodore Business Machines and the TRS-80 Model I from Tandy Corporation).
Finally my version of APPLE I with all the possible Texas Instruments chips!
Replica of the probable APPLE 1 A prototype. The motherboard is very different from the production units. The 6800 area is populated. There is no switch board above the 74154. No connectors. Orange capacitors. The logo is different. The chips are arranged in the same way as the production units, but the tracking lines are very different. For unknown reasons a change was made. According to the screenshots, the prototype worked.
PSA DNA certified autograph !!!
One of the things purchased in the American market is this photo, signed by Steve Wozniak and certified by PSA/DNA.
This is one of the dreams, for us retrocomputer enthusiasts, sooner or later I'll assemble it!
Let's start with setting up a monitor for the Apple I
this is the pcb we use for assembly
Some considerations on the computer. Looking at the long side PCB, you will see numbers at the bottom, ranging from 1 to 18, the same goes for the left side, you will see letters ranging from A to D.The combination of the letters on the left and the numbers on the bottom form a nearly perfect grid on the PCB, this is widely used in documentation among hobbyists to identify chips or circuit parts.
In principle it can be divided into three parts, at the top right there is the power supply with the three large Blue capacitors, at the bottom all the components including the references A1 to A18 and B1 to B18, the computer with the micro, ram, prom, etc... Above all the components included by references C1 to C18 and D1 to D18, the video or terminal part. This section works independently, because in effect it is like a copy of a terminal or teletype. These terminals, or teleprinters, take ASCII characters and print them on the screen, or print them on paper.
Then the computer part (bottom part) takes the ASCII characters one at a time and sends them to the video (top part), to be displayed. The heart of the video comes down to the character ROM at position D2, which contains the BIT patterns for 64 characters. These are the only characters that APPLE 1 can display. The screen is 40 columns wide x 24 rows, for a total of 960 characters.
In this phase you can see the complete pcb of the components relating only to the video terminal part. The problems encountered were, a faulty LM323 (it went into protection when I inserted more than 5 chips), a faulty SN74174 (it blocked the reset), the faulty video output transistor (Chinese).
Here you can see how I fed the pcb the reset, of the video part, all random characters, then I gave a +5 volt on pin 13 of the keyboard.
Now it's time to insert all the remaining components, and connect a compatible keyboard. At this stage I only encountered a bad ram and a 7400 with a bent pin.
To do a little test, enter these lines of hexadecimal code:
0: A9 00 AA 20 EF FF E8 8A 4C 02 00 return
Type 0: A return in this way the memory locations with the hexadecimal values will be displayed
Type R return ( R means run the program)
Let's play with P-Lab Claudio's WiFi modem and Francesco's BBS
For configuration, follow the instructions on the P-Lab website
Insert the modem after configuring it for your WiFi network. Type the command C100R after resetting the computer. Check the connection to the previously configured wifi network. Type ATE1R command to get echo of typing.
Typing the command ATDT BBS.RETROCAMPUS.COM:6502 will start the connection to Francesco's BBS.
Fiddling with the BBS menus.
We too have our own page on Francesco's BBS
To connect to our page type ATDT BBS.RETROCAMPUS.COM:9005
Here are some photos of the 2nd edition dedicated to Texas Instruments in the city of Rieti during the world chilli pepper fair, you can find the photos in the gallery!

The Apple IIc, the fourth model in the Apple II series of personal computers, is Apple Computer’s first endeavor to produce a portable computer. The result was a 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) notebook-sized version of the Apple II that could be transported from place to place. The c in the name stood for compact, referring to the fact it was essentially a complete Apple II computer setup (minus display and power supply) squeezed into a small notebook-sized housing. While sporting a built-in floppy drive and new rear peripheral expansion ports integrated onto the main logic board, it lacks the internal expansion slots and direct motherboard access of earlier Apple II models, making it a closed system like the Macintosh. However, that was the intended direction for this model — a more appliance-like machine, ready to use out of the box, requiring no technical know-how or experience to hook up and therefore attractive to first-time users.
The Apple IIe (styled as Apple //e) is the third model in the Apple II series of personal computers produced by Apple Computer. The e in the name stands for enhanced, referring to the fact that several popular features were now built-in that were formerly only available as upgrades or add-ons in earlier models. Improved expandability combined with the new features made for a very attractive general-purpose machine to first-time computer shoppers. As the last surviving model of the Apple II computer line before discontinuation, and having been manufactured and sold for nearly 11 years with relatively few changes, the IIe earned the distinction of being the longest-lived computer in Apple's history.
The first generation iPod started the iPod market on October 22, 2001 with the slogan "1000 songs in your pocket". It had a black and white screen, 5GB and a click wheel with a menu button at the top, left and left and right buttons to the sides, a select button in the middle and in between the four buttons and the select button was where users moved their finger around the wheel to go up and down. A 10GB iPod was released on March 20, 2002.
The second generation iPod was released on July 17, 2002. It had the same style as the first generation iPod. At first, 10GB iPod and 20GB iPod were available for $399 and $499 and later a 5GB iPod came out for $299.

This Lisa XL was recovered with 5x1000 donations !
Apple Computer Lisa 2/10
Lisa Macintosh XL is a modified version of the Apple Lisa personal computer made by Apple Computer. In the Macintosh XL configuration, the computer shipped with MacWorks XL, a Lisa program that allowed 64 K Macintosh ROM emulation. An identical machine was previously sold as Lisa 2/10 with the Lisa OS only. Macintosh XL has a 400K 3.5" floppy drive and an internal 10 MB proprietary "Widget" hard drive with provision for an optional 5 or 10 MB external ProFile hard drive with the addition of a parallel interface card. The machine uses a Motorola 68000 CPU, clocked at 5 MHz together with 512 KB RAM. Macintosh XL was discontinued in April 1985.
New Life with new HD

Unfortunately, another thing you have to do with these older systems is replace the hard drive with a newer one. This is where VintageMicros comes in handy.
Special thanks to John for his help.
Description
The X/ProFile provides an interface between the Apple parallel interface protocol and economical, readily available, and better performing IDE storage devices.
With the X/ProFile you can:
- Utilize economical and readily available IDE hard drives
- Use the Compact Flash socket as the storage media or for backup
- Use the Copy function for backup and experimentation
- Attain a performance boost
In addition, when using the X/ProFile, a much larger drive can be used with some operating systems -- you can use up to:
- 5 MB in Apple /// SOS and Lisa OS 1.0
- 10 MB in Lisa OS 2.0, 3.0, 3.1
- 16 MB in MacWorks XL
- 32 MB in MacWorks Plus 1.0.18 and Apple ][ ProDOS
- 2 GB in MacWorks Plus II
To maintain collector value, when mounting the X/ProFile in an original Apple product, no irreversible modifications are required. The universal form-factor allows mounting:
- internally in a Lisa 2 above the floppy drive
- in an original Apple ProFile case
- in another external case
Standard 40 pin IDE header and mounting holes allow easy installation of:
- a 3.5" hard drive, or
- a 2.5" drive (requires a common IDE cable adapter)
Compact Flash socket can be used for:
- copying data from/to an IDE hard drive for backup/restore and experimentation
- main storage media

Floppy Emulator

Let's connect a floppy emulator just remove the cable from the original floppy and connect it to the new one, I have to thank Paolo Cognetti for giving me this floppy emulator, I built a small adapter for the flat cable and, let's load MAcWorks 3.0, it will allow us to use the MAC software with the LISA.

We load one of the most played games in the world " Space Invaders ".
TroubleShooting
We finally have a nice Apple Lisa too, this is the 2-10 model
.jpg)
The first thing to do is check the power supply, in fact we have replaced all the filter capacitors in both low and high voltage.
.jpg)
after a general check of the capacitors of the various CPU, I/O and RAM cards and that there were no obvious faulty or corroded parts, we began testing all the power supplies available.
.jpg)
the main problem these machines suffer from is the breakdown of the boot EPROMs found on the CPU, in fact we have replaced them.
.jpg)
.jpg)
.jpg)
a general check was also carried out for the video and CRT part, to make it work we had to close the safety switches located under the front panel and the rear panel.
Let's fix the keyboard
.jpg)
.jpg)
One problem that plagues this popular computer is the keyboard.
.jpg)
.jpg)
After more than 40 years the pads that I know are inside each button have lost their conductivity, here you can see what they look like now!
All the pads need to be replaced, for the replacement we contacted TEXELEC.COM for the purchase.
A very important thing when removing the old pads and inserting the new ones is to pay attention when inserting the new pads inside the button. The button has four plastic tabs that lock the pad, make sure you hear the click.
.jpg)
Work finished.
Let's fix Video Card and CRT
.jpg)
Surely after many years it is necessary to replace some capacitors and clean the trimmers with isopropyl alcohol that regulate the CRT video card.
.jpg)
.jpg)
.jpg)
Since the keyboard has been repaired, we can enter the service menu by pressing the keys (apple + s) at the same time. Press the 5 key to get the reticle.
.jpg)
The trimmers once cleaned with alcohol, must be calibrated, for ease mark the initial position. For this operation you need an alignment grid, apple code 077-8043.

The Mac Mini (stylized as Mac mini) is a small form-factor desktop computer developed and marketed by Apple Inc, positioned betwees only consumer desktop computer since 2005 to ship without a display, a keyboard, and a mouse. The machine was initially branded it as BYODKM (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse), as a deliberate strategic process to pitch users to switch from PC running other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Linux.
The original Mac Mini was introduced in January 2005 as a base model to PowerPC G4 architecture. Announced in February 2006, the second-generation lineup featured advanced components and numerous internal software updates. The third-generation, unveiled in June 2010, brought forth a thinner unibody aluminum case and an HDMI port, more readily positioning it as a home theater device alternative to the Apple TV.
The Macintosh 512K is a personal computer manufactured by Apple and marketed from September 10, 1984 to April 14, 1986. The Macintosh 512K is the second computer (in order of time) of the Macintosh family and belongs to the first series of the classic Macintosh: it was presented as an update of the first Macintosh and has been replaced by the Macintosh 512K.

Description: New battery pack with black 3D printed cover, but you can ask for a color other than black!
There are two types of batteries, the 600 or 800 mA NI-CD and the 1800 mA NI-MH.
It is important to use a 2 cent coin or similar, in order to reduce the risk of breaking the hook tab!
Calculators that use these Battery Packs are:
BP1 ( SR-50, SR-51)
BP1A ( SR-50A, SR51A, SR52, SR56, TI-58, TI-58C, TI-59 )
Description: Our cover can be used to replace BP-6, BP-7, BP-8, BP-9 battery packs, but using a 9 volt battery. It was .jpg)
designed and built to give new life to your beloved calculators! The new cover is built with the non-toxic material called PLA using 3D printing, the color is black, but you can have other colors such as red and transparent. It can be used with the following calculators:
(SR-51-II, TI-57(1977), TI-51-III, TI-55, TI-57 (1978), TI-42 MBA, MBA)
( TI-15, TI-30, TI-31, TI-33, TI-41, TI-45, BA, BA1, Money Manager,TI- Programmer, TI-45)
The most important thing for inserting and removing the cover from the compartment from the calculator is the use of a 2 cent coin. VERY IMPORTANT not to break the hook tab!
Description: This circuit with its 3d printed case, can be used to replace the original BP7 - BP8 - BP9.
Calculators that use these Battery Packs are
BP7 ( TI-51-III, TI-55, TI-57, TI-42 MBA, MBA )
BP8 ( SR-40, TI-15, TI-30, TI-31, TI-33, TI-41, TI-45, BA, BA1, Money Manager, Programmer )
BP9 ( TI-45 )
The calculators listed were produced in the 70s and 80s, almost all of their accumulators have become defective. Texas Instruments has called their BP (Battery Packs) leak-proof. In fact all the liquid that comes out of the cells does not come out of the BP, but remaining inside destroys all the contents !
The two batteries used in the older BPs are AA size and have a nominal capacity of around 500mAh. The new BP uses a 3,7 volt 1000 mah LI-PO battery, and a PCB that performs a specific check / recharge for this type of battery, there is also a STEP-UP circuit necessary to supply a voltage of 9 volts for the operation of the Calculators.
What will come to you if you decide to take it
1- PCB and Cover 3D, with all components
2- Li-PO 800/1000 mah battery 
3- USB cable for charging
4 - adapter cable for BP7
5- instructions necessary for the replacement.
To recharge the new BP you can use the USB cable supplied, unfortunately for the size I could not insert a micro-USB connector, but make a cable with a specific connector.
One last thing, the circuit is equipped with a trimmer that allows you to vary the output voltage for other applications between 4.5 volts and 25 volts with a maximum current of 500 mah, but ATTENTION any variation could destroy the load downstream of the new BP.
Troubleshooting and Info
When the LEDs are ON and flashing at the same time -> The battery is probably disconnected
When the LEDs are OFF at the same time -> The input voltage is too low or the PCB is faulty
When the red LED is ON -> The battery is charging
When the green LED is ON -> The battery is charged

| First commercial available single chip calculator.The first commercial available "calculator-on-a-chip" was an MOS integrated circuit announced by TI in September 17, 1971. Find the original press release here. The chip contains 3520-bit read-only program memory, a 182-bit serial-access memory and a decimal arithmetic logic unit as well as control, timing, and output decoders but no drivers for the display. This results in an overall complexity of roughly 5,000 transistors. The typical supply voltage of this chip is ±7.2 V at roughly 15 mA power consumption. These chips are manufactured in a "state of the art" 10-micron 1-metal PMOS process and using Dual-Inline- Plastic (DIP) cases with 28 pins. It took about a year till the first copy of the original design appeared. US based company MOSTEK introduced the MK5020P December, 1972. |

| Chip set for scientifical calculators. With the TMC0500 building blocks Texas Instruments created a novel architecture for scalable scientific calculators. The architecture used minimum a 2-chip design with the Arithmetic chip and the SCOM (scanning read only memory) but was expandable to a maximum of 8 SCOMs, additional RAM as program memory for programmable calculators, additional RAM for general purpose registers and even a chip driving a printer borrowed from the TMS0200 family. Most scientific and programmable calculators manufactured by Texas Instruments between the years 1974 and 1982 (SR-50..TI-59) are based on these chips. | ||||

| Second generation single chip calculators. Texas Instruments introduced with the TMS0600 and TMS0800 single-chip calculator circuits about two years after the introduction of the TMS0100 family a two-tier approach: The TMS0600 adding enhancements like a memory register and additional functionality while keeping the need for external segment- and digit-drivers and the TMS0800 for cost sensitive applications, reducing the feature set but integrating both a clock driver and segment drivers. | ||||

Third generation single chip calculators. With the TMS1001 Texas Instruments introduced the first member of the famous TMS1000 Microcomputer family. The chip contains a microcomputer complete with a program ROM having 1,024 8-bit Words; a temporary storage RAM; input (from keypad); output (to control keypad scan and LED display); and an oscillator (clock). The TMS1000 chip was designed to span a range of hand-held calculator products (from four-function up through simple memory calculators). Since the chip had to be customized with the ROM program appropriate to a product, other programmable features were included to improve the chip's flexibility. Today we know 13 different chips used in TI calculators. These chips vary in implementation technology, number of I/O lines, display drive, amount of ROM (up to 26.6k Bits) and amount of RAM (up to 1,280 Bits). Calculator applications range from simple four-function calculators to the 50-step programmable TI-57. As of mid 1979, over 35 million TMS1000 chips were deployed in both calculator and non-calculator applications, establishing the TMS1000 as the computer architecture with the largest installed base. The internal clock rate varies from 200 to 450 kHz, depending on technology. Die photos courtesy of Sean Riddle. RAM-size determination courtesy of Ken Shirriff. |

| First generation C-MOS single chip calculators.
In 1978 Texas Instruments introduced the first CMOS calculator chips based on the TMS1000 Microcomputer family. The TP0320 architecture is similar to the TMC0980 chips introduced two years earlier for the TI-30 calculator. The main difference – beside the manufacturing process – is the permanent connection of the internal memory (12*64 Bits RAM + 64 Bits Display RAM) to the supply voltage. This feature allowed the „Constant Memory“ found on the calculators based on the TP0320 family like the TI-50 or TI-53. Even after you turn off the calculator its user memory is stored inside the chip. The supply current is low enough to buffer the memory more than a year from two small button cells. The program memory with 2k*9 Bits ROM allowed the conversion of most calculating features known from Majestic calculators (Scientific, Statistical and Financial calculator or even Flight computers).

Remember that the first LCD-calculators sold by Texas Instruments used foreign calculator chips manufactured by Toshiba. Find more information about them here. Together with the CMOS process the employees of Texas Instruments changed the nomenclature of the chips. Instead of the leading characters TMS (Texas MOS Standard) or TMC (Texas MOS Custom) the abbreviation TP appeared for the new device families. These Microcomputers got both ROM programmability and Gate programmability (e.g. segment decoder). The derivatives were either numbered like TP0320, TP0321... or got a CD (Custom Design) number, e.g. CD3202. |

| Simplified C-MOS single chip calculators. During the calculator war (about 1976 to 1978) a lot of customized chip architectures appeared even from Texas Instruments. Instead using the TMS1000 device with the large ROM and RAM amount some "area optimized“ architectures appeared. Don’t forget that in the early days of IC-Technology the yield of designs with some thousands of transistors was poor! The TP0310 introduced in the year 1978 based on the serial architecture of the TMS0920 optimized for the TMS1050 calculator. This was the most compact design with only 511*9 Bits ROM and 40*5 Bits RAM using a one-bit serial adder. Only few calculators make use of the TP0310 devices. Die photo courtesy of Sean Riddle.

| Enhanced C-MOS calculator chips.
The TP0320 architecture with only 28-pin housings, 2k*9 Bits ROM and (12+1)*64 Bits RAM limited calculator designs to simple Scientific (TI-50), Statistical (TI-35) and Financial (Business Analyst II) calculators driving displays with only 8 digits (or 5 digits + 2 exponents) resolution. The "programmable" TI-53 stored as much as 32 key entries in the memory, that’s it!Texas Instruments introduced with the TP0455 architecture a new design to overcome these limitations. It is related to the TMS1000 architecture but added time-keeping capabilities, a more flexible display driver and a different RAM architecture with 128*4 Bits capacity. The TP0455 is still gate-programmable. The first use of the TP0455 was the CD4501 design found in the Time Card introduced end of the year 1981. The TI-55 II demonstrated the flexibility of the TP0455 architecture, two chips formed a powerful Master-Slave architecture. The Master uses a 40-pin housing and scans the keyboard, drives a huge display with 8+2 digits and performs the math capabilities. The Slave in the well known 28-pin housing doubles the memory capacity of the calculator. This allows e.g. 56 program steps compared to the 32 steps of the TI-53.The TP0455 design was soon replaced with the TP0456 and most designs were converted. The CD numbers were incremented 50 units to distinguish the difference between TP0455 (e.g. CD4515) and TP0456 e.g. CD4565). The TP0456 seems to be upward compatible to the TP0320, we know with the TI-30 LCD and TI-30-II calculators using either the CD3202 or CD4565 design. Die photo courtesy of Sean Riddle.

Most collectors of early electronic calculators will sooner or later ask themselves: „How old is this piece of history in my hands“? The answer is quiet easy, in conjunction with the pictured albums here in the Datamath Calculator Museum you get a rough estimate of the timeframe each calculator was built. Some models had a very short lifetime, e.g. the rare SR-16 was manufactured between October 1974 and early 1975. Other calculators stayed longer, the famous TI-68 was introduced 1991 and was available in some countries till the year 2000. If you inspect the calculators manufactured by Texas Instruments carefully you will notice small numbers stamped with ink on the body shell, embossed in the plastic mold or printed on the license plate. These numbers look typically like 314, 2676 ATA or I1090. If you study this article carefully you’ll learn that the first calculator is a Datamath Version 2 manufactured April, 1973, the second calculator was produced in the Abilene, TX facility and the third is a modern, Taiwanese LCD calculator. Interested in getting more information?
• Search the numbers
Starting with the introduction of both the Datamath and the early Desktop calculators Texas Instruments used visible ink to stamp the manufacturing date on the back of the calculator housing using a 3-digit code. Unfortunately in most cases the ink got lost over the time on the polished surfaces of the early calculators. Later models like the TI-2550 or Exactra line used a structured surface and the ink is more durable. Some calculators like the SR-50 got the date code printed on hidden places like the internal plastic frame below the battery pack. If you can read only parts of the numbers you should open the calculator and search the manufacturing date on the integrated circuits to limit the possible date range. Calculators introduced in the year 1976 or later use another coding with 4-digits embossed into the mold of the rear case shell. This method was durable, in some cases the readability is limited due to bad adjusted temperature or pressure of the tooling. With the TI-1750, the first Texas Instruments calculator produced in Japan another coding scheme using 3-digits was introduced. These early LCD-calculators with their metal housing got small adhesive license plates carrying the model designation, serial number, date and origin of manufacturing. Later far East products use a novel 4-digit coding for the date of manufacturing.
• Decipher the code
You should be able to decipher 5 different coding schemes of the manufacturing date to cover all calculators and related products manufactured by Texas Instruments. In addition you get in most cases the information of the place of manufacturing.
3-digit date code
Early calculators introduced between the years 1972 and 1975 make use of a three digit code to define the week and year of manufacturing.
Example: 314 reads as 31th week of the year 1974
You notice immediately that this code was not Y2K compliant and there was a need for another coding scheme.
The origin of the calculator is usually Dallas, TX if not otherwise noted. Only the TI-2500 / TI-3500 was reported to be produced in Italy, UK and Spain and the SR-10 / SR-11 in Brazil and Spain.
3-digit "Early Far East" date code
Calculators produced in Far East and Souteast Asia during the late 70s and early 80s use a three digit code to define the month and last digit of the year of manufacturing
Example: 104 reads as October 1984
The manufacturer of the calculator is coded with one letter and the origin written in plain words. A table is given with the 4-digit "far East" code.
4-digit date code
Calculators introduced later than 1975 and not produced in Asia use a four digit code to define the week and year of manufacturing.
Example: 2676 reads as 26th week of the year 1976
The origin of the calculator is coded with three letters and / or written in plain words.
| Code | Origin | Plant |
| ATA | USA | Abilene, TX |
| ATD | USA | Austin, TX |
| DTA | USA | Dallas, TX |
| LTA | USA | Lubbock, TX |
| MTA | USA | Midland, TX |
| STA | USA | Sherman, TX |
| Argentine | Buenos Aires | |
| CIB | Brazil | Campinas |
| El Salvadore | San Salvadore | |
| ACH | Holland | Almelo |
| HK | Hong Kong | |
| RCI | Italy | Rieti Cittaducale |
| PII | Philippines | |
| Portugal | Oporto | |
| MCS | Spain | |
|
RCT |
Turkey | |
| P | United Kingdom | Plymouth |
4-digit "Far East" date code
Calculators produced in Far East and Southeast Asia use a four digit code to define the month and year of manufacturing.
Example: 1090 reads as October 1990
The manufacturer of the calculator is coded with one letter and the origin written in plain words.
| Code | Maunfacturer | Origin |
| A | unknown | China |
| C | Cal-Comp | (Taiwan), Thailand |
| C | Compal | Taiwan, China |
| G | Kinpo | China |
| I | Inventec | Taiwan, Malaysia |
| K | Kinpo | Taiwan |
| L | Kinpo | Philippines |
| L | Leo Electronics | Japan, China |
| N | Nam Tai | China |
| O | unknown | Thailand |
| P | Inventec Pudong | China |
| S | Inventec Shanghai | China |
| T | Toshiba | Japan |
| Z | Zeny | Taiwan, China |
6-digit "European" date code
Calculators produced in Italy use sometimes a six digit code giving the day of production.
Example: RCI240595 reads as May 24, 1995
3-digit "European" date code
Both the Financial Investment Analyst and Fixed Income Securities calculators manufactured between 1988 and 1991 in Italy use a three digit code to define the week and year of manufacturing.
Example: 439 reads as 43th week 1989
The years 1990 and 1991 are encoded with the digit 0 resp. 1.
3¼-character "Radio Shack" date code
Calculators manufactured for Radio Shack in the Seventies, Eighties, and Nineties usually sport a 3-character or 4-character date code.
Example: 1A5 reads as 1st month 1985 or 1995. The character A is just serving as a separator between month and year.
4-digit "Integrated Circuit" date code
Most Integrated Circuits (ICs) manufactured by Texas Instruments or Toshiba use a four digit code to define the week and year of manufacturing.
Example: 7424 reads as 24th week of the year 1974
The origin of the IC is written in plain words. Early Texas Instruments ICs manufactured by Texas Instruments using a metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) process, use a TMS designation and we learned from the TMS1000 and TMS7000 documentation the TI Standard Symbolization: TMX, TMP, and TMS are representative of the evolutionary stages of product development from engineering prototypes through fully qualified production devices:
| • TMSxxxx Experimental devices that are not representative of the final device's electrical specifications and has not completed reliability verification • TMPxxxx Final silicon die that conforms to the device's electrical specifications but has not completed quality and reliability verification • TMSxxxx Fully qualified production devices |
Devices with on-chip ROM (Read-only Memory) usually include a Cxxxx or CDxxxx reference and might have two different © information:
| • ©19xxTI Texas Instruments Microcode copyright • ©19xxTI Texas copyright of ROM Code |
3-character "Japan Integrated Circuit" date code
Most integrated circuits (IC‘s) manufactured by Hitachi and some other Japanese companies use a three digit/letter/digit code to define the year, month and week of manufacturing.
Example: 3B4 reads as 4th week within February of the year 1973
| 2nd Character | Month |
| A | January |
| B | February |
| C | March |
| D | April |
| E | May |
| F | June |
| G | July |
| H | August |
| J | September |
| K | October |
| L | November |
| M | December |
The origin of the IC is written in plain words.
4-character "Sharp Integrated Circuit" date code
Most integrated circuits (IC‘s) manufactured by Sharp in the 1980s use a four character code to define the year, month and week of manufacturing.
| • First Character: Identification Number • Second Character: Last digit of production year • Third Character: Production month • Forth Character: Production week |
Example: 538A reads as 1st week within August of the year 1983
| 3rd Character | Month |
| 1 | January |
| 2 | February |
| 3 | March |
| 4 | April |
| 5 | May |
| 6 | June |
| 7 | July |
| 8 | August |
| 9 | September |
| X | October |
| Y | November |
| Z | December |
| 4th Character | Week |
| A | 1st Week of Month |
| B | 2nd Week of Month |
| C | 3rd Week of Month |

Model: Astro
Battery: 2 x AA alkaline
Adapter:
Year: 1979
Chip: TMS1470NL/MP1133
Info:Astro by Kosmos International, Inc. is the World's first hand-held astrological computer. Astro provides information based not only on the Sun like daily newspaper horoscopes but on the positions of three additional planets which have a major influence on the life: Mercury, Venus and Mars:
| • Sun symbolizes motivation, identity and goals • Mercury is the thinking function. It indicates the manner in which person communicates thoughts and perceptions • Venus rules emotions and indicates a person's social values - who and what he likes and how he likes it • Mars is action, defining drive and initiative |
The key features of the Astro include:
| • Natal Horoscope Astro gives the Zodiac positions of the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars on the date of birth for any person. With this information you can have instant insight into any individual's personality. • Astrological Compatibility Astro compares the personality traits of any two people for an indication of compatibility. Green lights appear when traits are similar. Yellow lights appear when traits are different or in conflict. • Daily Horoscopes Astro computes the astrological conditions for any day - between date of birth and December 31, 1999 - and compares them with your astrological makeup. If conditions are agreeable to your personality, a green light will appear. Yellow lights indicate a difference between prevailing influences and your personal needs. |
The Astro was the most advanced product in Kosmos' product line of Kosmos 1, Kosmos 2, Mini-BIO, BIO-Clock and this Astro. Even Radio Shack (a Tandy corporation company), a large US based store chain selling electronic products and parts, distributed the Astro in a slightly different design.

How to use this unusual calculator
The Sinclair Scientific calculator uses reverse Polish notation (RPN) and scientific notation, so the key sequences are totally different from regular calculators. Numbers automatically have a decimal point inserted; use E to set the exponent. Operations are entered after the number and there is no equals key. Use the up and down arrows to select scientific functions. A display such as 1.2300 01 indicates 1.23*10^1, i.e. 12.3. A few examples:
To divide 17 by 3, enter 1 7 E 1 + 3 ÷
To take the sin of 0.01 radians, enter 0 0 1 ▲ +
To take antilog of .5 (to compute 10^.5), enter 5 E - 1 ▼ ×

Info: With the discontinuation of the TI-1200 family in 1977, Western Auto consequently replaced the M4987 "Citation" calculators and its siblings M4986 and M4988 with products based on the TI-1000 family. While the backside of the revised "Citation" calculator is missing any reference to the previous M4987 designation, sports the sales box a part number 66-4987-5, obviously a reference to the original naming scheme.

Year: 1977
Chip: TMS0972
Info:The TMS0952 introduced with the original design of the M4986 was soon replaced with the TMS0972, a pin-compatible design dropping the additional resistors and capacitor and further reducing the manufacturing costs of the M4986 series. This contribution of cost cutting had a side effect for the customer, Texas Instruments decided to use with the TMS0972 an 8-digit LED display instead of the previous 9-digit display. While the 9th (leftmost) digit was originally used only for the negative sign and didn't impact most calculations, should you try this example:
| • 11111111 [-] 23456789 [=] - TMS0952: -12345678 • 11111111 [-] 23456789 [=] - TMS0972: -.1234567 (flashing) |

Model: TE-8000
Battery: no
Adapter: AC 110 volt
Year: 1973
Chip: TMS0105
Info:TE8000 is a four-function desk calculator from 1973, built with a Texas Instruments single-chip processor.
The calculator is housed in a rectangular plastic box finished in imitation woodgrain.
The main circuit board and the display tube board are fastened to the base with a pair of light metal brackets. A 2-pin mains connector and the power transformer are mounted at the rear of the box, with the power switch attached to the moulded top cover. The transformer secondaries are hard-wired to the circuit board.
The display uses a set of miniature eight-segment vacuum fluorescent tubes, Futaba type DG10R1. (The small eighth segment at the centre right gives a "proper" numeral 4, but the processor only drives the usual seven segments). Eight tubes are used for the numerical display, and one (at the right) for polarity and error indication.
The keyboard is built as a single module and is attached to the main board via a cable and edge connector.
The TMS-0105 series single-chip processors contain all of the calculator circuitry with the exception of the power supplies and display drivers.
The rather untidy circuit board has a simple power supply at the rear and the TMS-0105 chip in the centre. The anode drivers for the nine tubes are at the left, with the eight segment drivers (seven plus decimal point) at the right. The keyboard attaches to the edge connector at the bottom.

Manual:
Info:The extremely rare SR-40 LCD (1981) calculator produced in Brazil is an interesting model, as at first glance it looks very similar to the European version of the TI-30 LCD. However, a few differences set it apart. One of the most noticeable differences concerns the keys: while the European TI-30 LCD features the **N!** (factorial) key, the Brazilian SR-40 LCD has the **x!** key, a detail that might reflect slight variations in functionality or target use. Another notable difference is the design of the battery compartment. The SR-40 LCD uses two AA batteries, but the compartment cover requires a coin to be opened, unlike the sliding cover of the European TI-30 LCD. This feature probably represents an adaptation for greater durability or security in battery replacement. These small variations between the models highlight production differences between different markets, making the SR-40 LCD a particularly rare and interesting piece for vintage calculator collectors.

Manual:
Info:With the SR-51 Texas Instruments began a series of scientific calculators that added statistical functions and conversions to the "usual functions". But none of them are engineered as flawlessly as the SR-51. It was built as a tank to survive decades of use like its close relative SR-50. Compared to previous models, the SR-51 got a keyboard design with white, gray, yellow and orange keys and gave a perspective to later TI calculators. To reduce manufacturing costs and to give a similar look and feel to the SR-52 and SR-56 calculators, the SR-51 was replaced within months with the SR-51A. Logically it is quite rare. However, two different variants are known: this model from an early production batch uses huge yellow characters for the 2 shifted functions, while the later SR-51 sports much finer print.
This rare model had many parts corroded by battery acid, the 7-segment displays completely corroded, the replacement and cleaning of the keyboard can be seen on the side.

Info: Texas Instruments introduced in 1976 with the SR-60 their first high-end programmable desktop calculator. Priced at $1695 and with a footprint of roughly 17" by 14.5" (430 mm * 370 mm) the SR-60 resembled more a computer than a programmable calculator.
Based on the SR-52 and SR-56 series of programmable calculators, the SR-60 integrated a full-sized keyboard with 95 keys, a large alphanumeric display with 20 characters, a thermal dot-matrix printer with 20 characters and a magnetic card reader for saving and loading both programs and data.
One of the main advantages of the SR-60 is the huge memory for data and program, already the base model could hold 480 program steps and 40 memory registers. Two memory expansion modules were available, one implemented with just two small daughter boards holding 5 resp. 3 TMC0599 RAM chips accessible through a bottom panel in the housing. The second memory expansion, a huge printed circuit board (PCB) with a total of 27 TMC0599 RAM chips, was mounted below the keyboard next to the Main PCB.
The SR-60 operates using pure algebraic logic (e.g., problems are presented to the machine as they would be written on paper). The calculator adheres to the PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponentiation, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) order of precedence. The [(] and [)] keys may be used to group expressions to override the PEMDAS rules as required. Parentheses can be nested up to ten levels deep. The machine calculates and displays results to ten significant digits, and always formats the display to provide maximum accuracy.

Claudio Larini. My interest in the world of information technology was born as soon as I finished high school, before leaving for the university adventure at the Polytechnic of Milan, after having purchased the first issue of a magazine, Micro and Personal Computer in September 1979. So after having consulted the "Market Guide", which was divided between Personal Computers, Programmable Calculators and Microprocessor Boards, and compatibly with the available budget I decided to purchase a programmable calculator.

TroubleShooting
After finding the SR-60 and checking it, we realized that it wasn't working. We started with the power supply. This power supply provides all power for the individual PCBs, (-20, -15.8, -10, -5 and -19) with an input voltage ranging from -26.5 to -42. At this point we realized that the -15.8 voltage that powers the main PCB was not being supplied.
As expected with these 50 year old objects, the filter capacitors, in this case 10uF, failed, one was shorted, another changed value.
Causing the breakage of three transistors in the power supply, the TIP30 replaced with one from the stock of components we have from the 70s and 80s, in addition to the A1872 replaced with a BC556 and an A2031 replaced with a BC547. We were unable to find the latter the same .
