22:42 - This was my first ever computer, and I had completely forgotten about this DeskMate application until I saw it in this video. Core memory unlocked! Thanks for the great video

I must be old if I can remember the VT100/102.

I have a EL3301 and it has "phillips" in the upper right with a red background. It doesn't work sadly. How much could I sell it for? It says made in Holland and it comes with a microphone with the leather case as well

I have one you don't have, There is no model number on it (on the box it says 1530) but the Circuit board is stamped "1531" It's made in Taiwan. It has the white shell, brown keys black labelling the orange square inside the tape caddy, save led and counter. It has the old edge connector on it. It's closest to the one in your video, second row second last. But as I said mine has that orange square in the tape caddy.

Thanks...I do not have all the gizmos that you do, but I will see what I can do to see if my tape drives are indeed out of alignment...I have cleaned the heads as well as the contacts inside the connector...and have found a tape that I think can be trusted, but will go forth and look for a Vic-20 program pack from the factory and see if that makes anything better as well...

how was this made in China in 1983? I thought we did not do trade with comunist countries back then

this was a cutting edge computer when I was at secondary school 80-85

DEC EMBER :-) lol

What you are attempting here with the hydrogen experiment is the hydrogenation of alkene double bonds. This requires a catalyst, usually platinum or palladium, otherwise the hydrogen molecules won't break into the free radicals for the reaction to occur.

I got my dad a Televideo 920c for Christmas last year

Hi, nice skills, but i need to find out a composite signal on a commodore pet monitor, (because i have a commodore educator w/out monitor) is that possible? How can i do it?

I am Steve Barham .. Chuck is right, I did program them into the Petunia myself off of the sheet music. It is soooo amazing to hear it work again, as my PET 2001 got fried back on 1983.... 😢😢😢😢 I am so glad the board still worked.

dear friend, I am very glad that I am watching your channel may respect tibe!!!!!!

дорогой друг я очень рад что сматрю твой канал маё уважение тибе

the 1977 model has got to be the best model

I had a device for my 64 here in the UK that allowed me to copy commercial C64 tapes - you needed two datasettes - both connected to the device that plugged into the C64 cassette port - press play on one record on the other - perfect copy of the commercial software - no copy software required.

thank you so much, for such a detailed presentation.

EXCELLENT Video, impeccably done.! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great series. Very informative and very solid editing. Thanks!

Dear Santa.....

Good times. I worked out the turn of the screw depending on the angle of the notch on the head screw. Somewhere between 0-90 degrees. Anymore than that you've went too far. Whole lot of trial and error but it was all part of the fun of cassette loading backup tapes.

"The DEC VT 100 terminal is notoriously linked to the Therac-25 radiation therapy machine's fatal malfunction due to faulty programming code. It is exactly the same terminal it's just the cheaper variant of it .

Absolutely gorgeous set up , would love to have a VT102 and hope to purchase the PiPD 11 kit some stage

Your Pet is really pretty. Looks like new on this video. I have four pets, but only 1 working. Trying to learn how to find the errors and run diagnostics on them.

Would be nice to see a full-screen application, where the cursor positioning, bold etc. is used, something like WordStar or dBASE or whatever they equivalent for the DEC PiDP-11. :) Thank you, a great video.

Impressive collection. Great that all machines are working.

I suspect that this unit has not seen a lot of use back when it was new and since. Almost all of the model 1's had the silver paint on the front edges of the unit wear from just a a thousand hours or more of use.

I'm no expert by any means, but my understanding is that the Apple II series was very well made, almost "bulletproof," and generally very easy to repair.

I use 12% Hydrogen Peroxide but I don't dilute it. It works well within a few hours.

I have this ROM save/load program, which loads a game in just 15 seconds or so. It's really awesome. I wonder if anyone else knows about it? You first load the faster loader, then type SYS 4100 and then press the reset button. SYS 4103 saves a ROM.

How do you clean the screen itself?

I just made a short video, installing a new old stock ribbon in my 43. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp3dkKqkhdl3hck

I was 8 years old in 1979 when my dad brought home a brand-new 2001-8. Even though we got the C64 a few years later, Dad never stopped tinkering with the PET, and it lasted until he passed in '02. He too, was an engineer, and I owe him and that little machine a whole lot. Thanks for this....

where can i find that kind of foam anti-vibration tape? do you know what it's called?

Bitfunx

Nice video!. I have the Commodore PET 2001 with the black and white monitor. It has been working fine until recently. Now the boot up screen where it says "***COMMODORE BASIC***, 7167 BYTES FREE, READY" the words/letters/numbers are broken up as if a line space has been printed on the screen. So it will be the top parts of the letter, a space, the middle parts of the letters, a space, the bottom parts of the letters. Hope that makes sense! Any ideas?

I have just restored a model 43. I am wondering where to get the 11 inch wide tractor feed paper. Thanks.

Any of the drives better than others? Japan vs Taiwan?

The first PC I ever used was an Apple II Plus my first day of high school in 1982. I was hooked. Although at home I had all Commodore. Be sure to get the new Yellowstone card for the IIe.

I love !!! Thanks for sharing .( Me encanta !!! Gracias por compartir )

GREAT Video!!! TY for the PET content!

I have a black C2N with a red light on the right side. This lights up when you press load. Is this a new variant or after market?

My first computer experience of any kind (that I remember) is using a college PDP-11 on VT-100/102 terminals. They also had VT-52s with the wacky buzzer instead of the speaker, and some other brand/model I can't remember-- black and metal... Olivetti maybe?

Hey Chuck. Didn't realize you had a video on this, found it while I was googling when my pidp-11 died (sd card corrupted after multiple power outages - important note, back up the sd card, it's a pain to make a new one unless you use a pi 4 as the new image is for that). Anyway, the base... what did you use for that.. did you make something different or is that some kind of sticker or something around the wood?

How do you check power from the psu on a PET with a multimeter?

Wow ❤❤
