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…

The Apple ][ should be able to display color, or at least that is what I thought. (That was why they made the Apple "colorful.")

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. …

never thought of that unity......he probably did have it plugged in.............saying that when I blew my 128k I was finished all work  and it was  all together (board connected, …

Same supply as a 6500 as mentioned, or at least looks the same. My concerns at this point would be damage to the Bose audio board in the power supply as well as damage to the TAM. …

right voltage unity but an 8 amp fuse..........ouch is right!! - is there any hope in replacing the blown parts and it ever working again?..........I have no idea what so ever wh…

Thank you for your email 360alaska.  Is the file I down loaded the patched version, or do I need to take the file I just down loaded and patch it with a bootdisk? Sorry - I knew m…

You are right, cant miss it now. Its been blown before. By replacing the fuse, you just doubled up on the damage again even with the right voltage set. Ouch!

Apple II is better as Atari has color and black and white.

That looks more appropriate for an Atari 2600, IMO.

just spotted something in the previous pictures I posted here. - on the previous page (3) look at the 2 pictures I took where I got out the fuse. In the picture on the right... l…

I got one, maybe I will someday. I want to take the stuff off the shelves and set up some of the better machines with accessories on a long table so people can just turn one on and…

You need an Apple II to set that on!

Got a VCR out and after some adjustments, I can clearly see the menu screen. It is a black and white TV, but that's what I was expecting. I might try to find a place for it in the …

To be honest, wrong voltage setting is what I though caused this. But I am not too knowledgable on such things. I did check your voltage switch location and while your supply is no…

Picked one up at radio shack for $6 ish. I'll see how it turns out!

actually done some research. The 2 small caps are varistors. The chip is a rectifier. I took the rubber covers off the 2 varistors and managed to get the serial numbers. The second…

You need one of these. http://www.walmart.com/ip/RCA-VH54-LVH54N-RCA-VH54-LVH54N-Indoor-Matching-Transformer/20588615 EDIT: Note that's a completely outrageous price for one. For…

Nice, but newer (1990s) CRT TVs are really cheap. Sometimes you see them for free on a sidewalk!

VHF output on the converter is just coaxial. I need channel 3-4

took out the blown components, looks like 4 caps and what I think is a rectifer - rest of the components look 'non exploded' - might be worth ordering up these parts and some c…

Should just screw those together, I used to have a converter like that. Good for Duck Hunt.
