redman Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 What scares me from this deal is that he attempted to fix a 1200XL keyboard and took apart a 130XE to check a memory problem, but didn't plug in 800s and 800XLs for any testing at all. Doesn't sound logical to me. Redman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the 1200xl fix a couple of years ago. I think the remaining problem after the fix wasn't the traces but where it connects to the board. The 1200xl is so big that when you lift it up you can feel the entire case kinda shift. I believe I've read on these forums people inserting filler at the connect point to make it more tight and impervious to the case stress. Likewise on the 130xe, I acquired it a few years ago and when I tried it out some of the memory was failing. I opened it up to fix it, but the memory chips inside did not match the how-to documents out there. That is why I have that piece of paper on the top. I thought it might have been a homebrew memory upgrade gone wrong and always planned to revisit it, but never had the time. TLDR: Those issues were discovered years ago and I planned to finish the 130xe but time caught me unawares. Edit: Also, if someone is interested on the working status on a particular item or more detailed info, I can grab it and check it, I just didn't have the time to test everything.

+orpheuswaking Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Now if only you would ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Now if only you would ship If I don't get any bites I will look into that, but to be honest the idea scares me! It would probably be around 10 heavy boxes + the monitors. Edited September 28, 2013 by invisible kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally1 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 if you sell the stuff separately, it will be easier to ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
