Compaq Portable 486c/66
So my Compaq Portable 486c had a really washed out and “striped” (for lack of a better word) screen. A forum on vintage IBM compatibles said the screen was gone and had to be replaced. An Apple Mac forum post on a powerbook laptopcomputer said the screen needed a recap (my experience with macs is that recaps are always needed and usualy the answer). So i tried it, the screen looks almost perfect now.

Just picked up a MB Vectrex with 9 additional games and 10 overlays. It needs some minor TLC but is in good working order.

Apple Macintosh Portable
Just fixed both of my Mac Portable 40mb scsi harddrives i own. I had to clean some rubber goo that prevented the heads from moving and lubricate the bearing on which the heads rotate. After that, both disks boot with no problem. It did make me a somewhat nervous working on a harddrive and i won’t recommend it on a drive that holds something important.

Just picked up this Wang WLT laptop from the mid 80’s. It was advertised as fully working and it does. Boots from a Winchester drive, which i’ve hears of but never had one. It has a build in thermal printer and an external 720k floppy drive. I got an additional power supply and a parts floppydrive and bunch of cables, printerparts and software. All in all, a really nice addition to the collection. Edit: Just noted a sticker from the Dutch airline company KLM, finding a herritage for machines is best part of collecting.

Spotted at an antique mall a few months ago. Jumping Jack pinball machine from 1973. Not a pinball machine collector, but it looks cool.

A new addition to the collection and a new project. An Apricot FP portable. It has some diskdrive problems, as it just wrecked one of my backup MS DOS 3.30 floppies. It came with a case and technical manual, but sadly no disks. And i think i read somewhere the F series disk format is ever so slightly incompatable with standard IBM 3,5 inch floppies. Ah well, challenge accepted i guess

🤯 The Mac Portable just booted from a harddrive, not sure what’s on it... this machine has been such a headache to get going. (It pretty much died again after i got it to boot from floppy last week orso). I’m not sure it’s really stable yet. But this is something.

She Booted!! Which means i have a functioning Mac Portable. This is from floppy, not the harddrive. But, i can’t believe it’s working. A happy mac There are some weird shrieks coming from the speaker, and this screen has a line in it. So some work still to do.

Another Mac Portable joins my collection. And, as with all “affordable” Mac Portables, it also doesn’t work. But according to the sellers pictures this one at least goes into a “sad mac error” state when turned on. And it has upgrades! A modem, ram expansion and screen backlight (which was not standard on this machine). I hope i can get this one going, even broken ones are quite expensive.
