Did we live the same life? Between Radio Shack and now the Amiga 500, it's as if we're the same person. I got an early Amiga 500 in July 1987 when I turned 13. I didn't know it was an early issue until I saw a video about how they changed to a cheaper keyboard after the first few thousand. That's where I really learned to program. I taught myself AmigaBASIC and then bought the Manx Aztec C Compiler v3.6 and learned C which led to a lucrative career in software. If you cover the Heathkit ET-3400(A) Microprocessor Trainer next, I'm going to start thinking this is all a hoax. 😉

We then made a breadboarded computer using an HD63C09, which is a drop-in 6809 replacement, but runs faster and has additional registers and instructions. It can run Microsoft Extended BASIC and was continuously running a graphics demo I wrote for the 128x64 monochrome graphical LCD until a power surge blew out the chips this past summer.

The Philippines Clark Airforce Base Philippines with my parents seem like yesterday. My father a Filipino Navy Recruiter and my mom who was black was disliked by U.S Intelligence FBI who was able to listen to their bedside manner. The agency was able to get information on my father snorting cocaine and marijuana overseas. We returned to the United States and the CIA was able to use dealers to bait my father THEN give my mom secret specific instructions to see how my father would react or sneak behind her back. My parents divorce and the tactics used on my father inspired this big operation in San Antonio Texas using the hidden surveillance in the apartment to coordinate special operation programs baiting entrapment. Example: Hidden Surveillance tracks a drug user like my father whose drug of choice was cocaine. The CIA will guide or secretly give the wife very specific instructions to go cook, bathroom or drive to the store. These instructions given to her secretly through the inner ear communicator to see how her husband would react or respond. ***" WHAT WOULD THE COCAINE USER DO IF THE CIA ANALYST COORDINATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR HER HUSBAND TO SNORT OR SEEK COCAINE***"" Through these remote instructions and controlling of surrounding activity the CIA can document or form patterns of behavior to control or Reprimand. By controlling staging and baiting individuals based on their suspicious deviant behavior the CIA FBI intelligence would then have the advantage to use the discovered information that the agency exposed by carefully baiting the individual into situations for their blackmailing misconduct and Influential scenarios similar to cheese in a U.S Intelligence mousetrap. These Operations will involve impugning the sanity and character of the victim for the purpose to avoid criminal implication and abuse of power. - 1980-1989 This agency attempted homicidal malpractice of a child -1980-,1989 ,- This agency planned the marital affair of a Filipino Navy Recruiter to a younger mistress to racially intimidate his black wife. -1980-1989 The agency influenced couples divorce and guided the Navy Recruiter's family in defiling the child's development and adolescence afternthe child avoided homicidal malpractice on Clark Airforce Base Philippines '80.

This was made for transmitters like Ham and CB. From my understanding, the device needed a transmitting signal to be powered. My dad did Ham & CB.

I don't know if the new Radio Shack company sells these products. Ham radios were a core business sector for Radio Shack.

Wow what a blast from the past. I had a couple of these chips from Radio Shack, and built the thing on a perf board (all those wires!!) and it worked! I played with it for years. Now here's the kick: when Radio Shack started to add a ton of stuff to "clearance" (beginning to go out of bussiness) they had a bin in the store full of stuff. Including a bunch of the speech chips, marked down as a buck apiece! I freaked out and bought six of them (all they had). There were a couple of other stores in town (Lansing MI) who had some too. Over the years I kept them (think I had ten or so - no really) but during a move had to get rid of an entire workshop of parts, tools, Etc. You really can't take it with you scenario. That was more than 30 years ago (or so) and now they are very hard to find. I have seen a few on Ebay for - - $50.00 to 75.00 bucks. Oh if I had kept them. thanks for the very, very inspiring video!

Its weird to reach an age where something you used for years as a normal bit of tech is now referred to as a relic. I recall that I liked it because it didn't have a tape, and the shape of it was interesting and modern. By the way, the TS position on the selector switch was called "Toll Saver". It would allow the phone to ring 4 times before answering, and if someone left a message then the next time it would answer in 2 rings. This meant if you called from a payphone to check your messages and it didn't answer after 2 rings, you could hang up and save the cost of the call knowing that the machine didn't have any messages recorded.

1. Did you install the ABS sensor correctly? I almost broke mine because I forgot to remove it prior to pulling the bearing. The only fix is to replace it. 2.Did you install the bearings with the magnetic ring to the inside? This is my biggest fear because, if installed it with the magnetic ring facing outward, the magnetic ABS sensor will not detect or read the magnetic pulse produced by the ring when the wheel turns. Which means the bearing has to be remove, which means you have to buy another bearing to replace the bearing you busted when pulling it out. This one error could cost you $50 dollars or more per bearing.

Thanks for the explanation. I have one that I found the other day, but I have to figure out why it’s not working properly. I plugged it in and it wouldn’t work out the bulb. It looked fine clean the connections plugs then put a little Vaseline on the connections since I didn’t have any dial electrical grease, plugged in and turned it all the way up and it started working for a few seconds and then started slowing down . Then only flashed once every 10 seconds and if I turned it down from full, just a hair it wouldn’t flash. I left it plugged in for a while, and now it doesn’t flash at all again. I wiggled the cord around once and it started flashing quicker for a scene or two and then back to slow flashing yesterday. I was thinking it was the cord then but now I don’t think it is. Maybe the switch? Any help would be great!!! I remember when my sister got one of these in the early 70s for Christmas and we used to play with it all the time so I figured it would be fun to get this one up and running. It can’t be too hard to fix I’m just not smart enough to do. It sounds like you sure sure are. There is a little white spot I the glass on the light. No dark carbon build up in it.

I did not know that. So, when are you going to make that video?

@@Sirrom0206 no plans - making videos looks like a lot of work tbh. I have seen one though - one of the apprentices at my dads work made a 'tank game' console as a hobby. project. I'm not sure if it was a kit or he designed the PCB himself and sourced the components. He did explain that one of the main costs was the TV modulator unit.
