In the late 1990s, a lot of older computing equipment showed up at Dayton. Now, you're lucky to see more than 2-3 devices. The TRS-80, this TS1000 and a Zenith Data System laptop, along with a solitary example of an Apple IIe were all I noted.

The 1000 wan't really a games machine, you'd want a Spectrum for that.

I'm finding my older machines are starting to fail because EPROMS are losing their programs and capacitors are drying out. The ones with CRTs are full of unobtainable parts.

Yeah there weren't a ton of games but there are a few decent ones. A spectrum would be cool. I have an unoperational ZX81 floating around somewhere.

The homebrew scene is where it's at with these old machines. I wish my ZX81 ran. There are a ton of homebrew games on itch.io

What does or doesn't it do? Those weren't exactly a complex machine.

I'm planning on going back Sunday possibly. You want me to pick that up for you?

Pretty sure it's just some capacitors. It smells like burnt capacitors, but no visual damage that I can see. Never really gave it a good inspection. Doesn't power on at all.

That would be awesome. Just let me know.
