It ain't easy to incorrectly plug the PSU's power cable in unless you are a gorilla, so the possibility that you were pushing volts into somewhere it shouldn't be and blowing up IC…
CCC_33: My neck of the woods was not required to transition over to digital so CFJC and all its repeaters and transmitters will remain analog for the foreseeable future.
You can h…
Assuming you can get composite video out of your iPad the "most available" option for an RF modulator is to use an old VCR. Most VCRs, even quite old ones, have composite in/out ja…

I keep a working color analog CRT TV for old game consoles. I bypass the RF converter by using a coax (from the console) to screw type adapter. Also the RCA inputs work well for st…

You need to know what you are plugging cables into before you do it.
The RAM banks are spread between top and bottom (not in a row). So 2 RAM SIMMs top and 2 on the bottom or you …

Hmm, I thought so!
The fake wood-grain look seemed to be popular in the 80's and into the 90's, and this doesn't have it, so I figured it was either before the fad, or some off-be…
then there is a good likelyhood the motherboard is toast now.
But, to be sure you can try measuring the voltages coming in from the power supply and make sure your not missing on…

I don't have anything other than what you see in the photos. I tried plugging it into a monitor from the d19 plug on the back of the motherboard, and nothing happens.

Ouch. Something didnt get plugged in correctly, or 1-tooth-off. They usually dont blow for no reason.
That looks like it was part of the video capture subsystem which is probably…

I'm frustrated to say the least.
Why? Let's start from the beginning. I finally got a case for my various 950 parts that have been sitting for a while unused. I put them all toget…

I'd put it around 1983. I own two Electrohome sets myself. Great units for stuff that only does RF.
an RCA-Coax adapter.
Click to expand...
It's called an "RF Modulator"…
They have a 30-pin to RCA adapter, and I got one with the intent to toy around with getting it to work on my iPhone (which has a lightening connector) with an adapter. I never got …
What all would I need to connect my iPad Mini to this for YouTube and the like? I have a regular coax connection now, but what is the cheapest option to go about this?

When the Apple II came out small color TVs were $300-$400, while a black-and-white model was more like $60. (To say nothing of what a real "color monitor" cost.) A *lot* of Apple I…

Apple IIs (at least the //e enhanced I used) do this cool thing where they represent colours as bunches of black and white dots. They're great on both both B&W and colour s…
the MOVs are designed to clamp on overvoltage. The previous attempt may have shorted them out when the fuse blew.
Soon as you powered it up again, it just finished off the MOVs. …

That one certainly looks the part. But again not the same ratings. I dont think the TAM dra…
