Abandoned IBM Computer Restoration! (1992 IBM 35SX)

[@vitmich]

Amazing work. I was working 8 years ago in pc service. We had in our service a small warehouse with computer scrap. Many of this scrap were almost complete computers from 90s and early 00s. It was a heaven for me.

[@coltonmandell4829]

This is too cool, love to see life brought back into such a beautiful old machine!

[@GabrielGambeta012]

Gosh, I'm totally amazed! It looked very VERY horrible when you found it. Once you restored, it looked like brand new! And fully functional! Also, whoever stepped on the keyboard, I hate him forever...

[@vikitooooooo]

make the person who stepped on the keyboard feel what it feels like to be a keyboard

Great video but seeing the keyboard get stepped on made my heart sink

[@alfredtabudlo6546]

one of the best restorations i have seen, good job bro

[@erichkohl9317]

This was one of the most amazing transformations I’ve ever seen.

[@jrgen7527]

Damn what a hot machine! I realized I'm in love with primal technology's format, not content. This gave me the exact same feeling, just with cooler content. Good video man ♥️

[@Tamay.]

I didnt know these IBM PC‘s could run Windows. Also, this is the real pro gaming setup!

[@CYON4D]

Beautiful PC, reminds my first IBM 286 system back from 1992. Great restoration!

[@andreabenini7392]

We need more dude! This is amazing!

[@owl418]

I just found your channel and I'm absolutely in love with these videos. You should scout out more abandoned places to find more repair opportunities

[@shane4663]

That's sick man! There's like a hundred of those things in one of the big connected school looking rooms of rancho los amigos along with chairs and desks

[@Shyzah]

yes I've heard about that room trying to figure out exactly which building it is

[@krazired2670]

Im currently building a sleeper out of that same computer case. Mighty have to take a trip down there for some parts. >;)

This bad boy is now alive again! Awesome video, I wish I could find one of these!

i hope you recapped that old power supply. nice find!

I'd love to see more people restore stuff from Abandoned Places and give them a second life.

Beautiful computer. Built way before my time. I was born in 1997.

[@koniobijca160]

Ahh, these old PC sounds...

[@CopperKettle]

I weeped at the ending. I'll be rewatching it like my aunt rewatched Titanic, to weep some more.

[@MrCommodorebob]

Nice job. However stepping on that model M keyboard hurt.... alot.

[@stealthysaucepan2016]

I cringed when she jumped on the keyboard

[@hanlywijaya3203]

I watched you last night wondering when you would post again, guess that dream came true just now. (Australian time)

[@bac1111967]

I got my first one from the bank I worked for - £5 or $6.50 thereabouts. I loved it.

congrats man. I know that took some serious time.

[@kirayamato94]

Seeing window 95 and 98 worst shuts down times of my life

[@Mobius14]

Insane, they left the hard drive in. Im pretty sure that may have contained private medical records whatever company owned the computer was obligated to destroy once the facility was abandoned, or escrow it or send it off for protection. HIPAA would have had a field day with these guys.

I have an IBM Mod. AAI5992 in perfect condition and it has been stopped for many years and now it starts but it asks me to update the date and the battery is discharged, how can I replace the battery?

[@bestopinion9257]

I did something similar with a Dell from 1996. Sometimes it boots, sometimes refuses to boot or to see hard disk.

[@AlexgmrNokia]

Nice video :)

[@bziemko1066]

NICE!

[@ibizenco]

That is one happy computer, after so many years in the asylum. Greg Salazar would approve. :) It somehow resembles the computers in my "high school" (as it's called in the US), back in the 80s. They came with those huge, 5" floppy disks. I remember learning how to work in "Writing Assistant" and "Filing Assistant". Anyone knows what OS those machines had?

[@mega5621]

I think it was MS-DOS

[@danielshin1984]

[@SmashPlayz]

This is very cool bro! Great video! And I was curious so I did some googling and found out that this machine is actually an old 386SX running at a "blazing" speed of only 20MHz! I wonder if that machine had the 80387 math co-processor on the board as well?

[@Shyzah]

Im not sure about the math processor ill need to look into it. this thing could barely run windows 95 haha. I was too lazy to set up a fresh hard drive but when I do itll have windows 3.1 on it

[@SmashPlayz]

@@Shyzah Yeah, Win95 is a pretty heavy load for a 386! 😂

Yes The 90s MAC

great vid dude

[@ea0497]

That was a nice IBM pc restoration video! Although I am very convinced, in 13:59, i want to know where do I get these custom keycaps: light blue WASD and the orange-red ESC keys? Are there any links of shops or 3D models for printing these keys? I am also interested in getting older IBM Model M Keyboards.

[@Shyzah]

you can find them on the Unicomp website.
