September is SepTandy month!!!!
This is episode 3. Ironically about the TRS-80 Model III that I’ve had for a while and was a warehouse find.
It’s an early Model III, no floppy, has the 16K ram badge, but 48K installed.
It was dirty, and left a trail of debris every time I moved it. Probably wasn’t used in decades. A quick wash, long dry, and surprise surprise it worked. Except the keyboard. That’s wasn’t a surprise. Lol.
As I mention in the video, I only bought this for the CRT thinking the rest was dead, and I think I made a previous post here about that, whether it can be used in a Model 4 or not. Apparently it can.
Down the road project, do I keep this as a M3 as I already have a M4, or do I use it to fix another M4.
I also have a Commodore Pet project, and one of my ideas was to move the M3 CRT to the PET, and take the green CRT from it to the M4. I am planning on modding that PET (which is an 8032) to use Steve Grays Multi-Ed 40/80 adapter, which will let me switch between 8032 and 4032 modes. I figure the paper white screen would be an interesting touch. 
Again, down the road project.
