Mine sure looks good, no leaks, but totally empty (0,7V)

Just removed the very exact same one from a SE/30 Only mine is 11 months older ;) So, slightly less extreme rare :p

I'm pretty sure I just liberated an SE/30 of one of those black, sort of no brand batteries...

Ahh, the ti-99/4a. Reason it's there, is because I got one aged 12 from my parents (giving away my age now 🤣). Was my very first foray into computing, and probably shaped my future and my professional career back then! The PEB always was a dream back into the 80's, but totally unaffordable...

That honestly is a neat solution! I'll have a think on how to implement something like that!

Haha, yup, love it as well! I always find it amazing how many of those companies from back then are still around, doing pretty much still the same! Targus (who made the Harlequin carry bag) is 40 years old, still making protective bags for computers. Lots of others as well, LaCie, still today...

Yeah, I know; First get it to work, then we'll worry about the esthaetics ;) You don' see them on sale too often (unless you gotta buy a whole compact mac with them), so I jumped on this one, timing was just perfect! Maybe later I can cajole somebody to exchange my NOS mouse with a properly...

Yup, just put in a substantial order at my local parts supplier :cool:

Most of those are recently bought, so still lot's of cleaning up to do. Usually t's buy them, remove batteries, clean logic boards, test them and start planning the recaps where needed. Everything visual, so cleaning up mice, keyboards, sticker glue residue, comes last!

Bought some extra shelving :)

So, as can be seen from my other thread, the seller decided to sell to me. FWIW, I did find a NOS mouse on auction (Catawiki), just under 100€ shipped.

From the era that sex was safe and computing dangerous :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Gonna take it slowly and try to remove the video card. Not that easy of an undertaking, need to take the CRT tube out to do it sort of safely. And the 4 screws (more like bolts) turn out to not come out off millimeter country, 6mm too small, 7mm too big, so need to find me a toolset in inches...

Found out it indeed is 22,9 kHz, so not sure anything I have that would work. And I live in the PAL country :ROFLMAO:

Anybody knows what signal comes out of the video plug in the back? Is it composite or some such? Manual doesn't say much!

FYI, the start-up beeps are exactly as to be expected: high, high, low which is no keyboard/mouse high, high, high which is no data received from the widget (no surprise there!) Can't do much more till I get image somehow on the CRT

To compare, this is what it does on the CRT of one of my SE's:

So, definitely something up with either the video board, the flyback or both. Using my proximity voltage detector I get nothing at all on the Lisa's anode. Just to doublecheck, I used the proximity tester on the anode of the CRT of an SE, and it definitely detects that.

No I did not :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I do read up a bit before starting out on such project, so I knew of the two microswitches, the one in the back is actually rather well hidden, the front is in plain sight! And also on a positive note, both soft start and soft stop works, so there is at least a...

Oh, shoot, I'm going to need staff :-)
