That is a TON of logic for being such a "relatively" simple thing. What a wonderful world of computing we exist in from every day computers. (although this could've been said in the 70's with a keyboard, but not the internet). I'm glad we have modern computers to interact with each other. But then again in the XP era I could've left this same comment on a 2005 video from a "modern" OS. Computing hurts my brain. I miss windows 7 ok? lol

6:18 that's such a cursed segment of the video. I know the capacitors are long drained and it's totally safe, but if feels so wrong.

Great job. I like when enough imperfections are left, that it appears that it's simply been in storage for a while. Some restorations go a bit too far and in turn make the objects almost modern.

Fantastic restoration! it looks like new again. 😀👍 I don't know about this particular model, but there might be Dip switches on one of the boards, and one of them sets the Echo to on, and then as you type, it should show up on the screen.. there should be documentation somewhere on the internet, that tells if this model has that feature, and which dip switch to flip to on for Echoing , as well as how to set the Parity and speed, should you come across the accompanying DEC Computer in your travels maybe a PDP -11?

Ahhh, the memories... I remember in the late 80s inheriting the PDP 11 computer system from the high school, getting a transported to the downstairs room of my parents house, the electrician getting wiring working, and spending two summers doing nothing but trying to get lunar lander on an 8-inch floppy to work properly... I did not see the Sun for at least two summers, only the soft fluorescent glow of the green phosphor...

Good job cleaning up that chassis! Looking sweet. That Celeron processor is *slow* you can easily get a much faster P4 CPU on ebay. Also, another thing about that era PC is it's right in the prime of the Capacitor plague. I wouldn't trust it until I went in and tested all of them. There are places you can find lists of the brands effected by it at the time, but it's pretty far reaching. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

I really enjoy your restoration videos! There are others on KZbin, but yours always stand out. I seem to learn something new from your approaches each time. Although when it comes to removing rust from PC cases, I’ve never felt right using the store-bought products and have always preferred using the old school sanding (i.e. rotary tools etc).that rust removal product you used seemed to worked well though :)

You can test your VT if you connect pin 2 and 3 together of the serial connector. If it's possible don't wash electronics boards with water. It's better if you can wash with isopropylic alcool. For a test type all H's to realing the CRT.😊
