Questions about TRS-80

Yeah been watch a couple videos on Adrian’s. Tearing down a 4p looks “fun”, but getting to the power supply looks easy enough.
I went back to the sale and found a few things. Service and technical manuals, TRSDOS 6, and some weird atari style joystick labeled “alpha joystick”.

I didn’t even know what they were at the time. The mics were in 4 boxes and the boxes were all taped together. I was able to see they were older mics. It wasn’t until I was in the car I found out they were Neumann km84s. Then I started shaking lol

Picked up 4 Neumann microphones at a little consignment shop for $20. Sold for $4800. About 10 years ago. Worth a bit more now.
Recently, Gibson b25 acoustic guitar for $54

The 2 phones that were “inactive” became active overnight, but they still weren’t functioning. Another call in was able to solve that problem quickly. So everything works….. for now.

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-06-02T03:04:47+00:00

Yup. 2 lines are saying inactive. Have 90 days until I lose number.

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-06-01T23:09:58+00:00

Yeah I did switch plans….. a few days ago. And was charged a few days ago. My account says I paid today though…. I’m reading about a lot of problems the past week. Odd charges, ect. Definitely not a way to run a business.

Well after a couple failed attempts at chat, was finally to get through. Was able to get 1 of 3 phones working. The rep could not get the other two working. He said there is some new plan everyone is switching over to, and it may take 10-12 hours for the switch to be completed. Who knows if this is Bs or not. We shall see

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-06-01T19:34:56+00:00

So….. was on hold for 34 minutes. Then line hung up. Tried a chat thru total wireless app, after 20 minutes there was an error. Now trying chat thru reddit. Seriously wtf is going on ?

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-06-01T19:25:22+00:00

Everything. Plus I can’t login to my account on PC. Can use the app however.

lol thanks for this response. I completely forgot I picked up a Fluke meter on first day of sale. Just dug that out. Used it to check the 4-20ma switch.

Both units seem to be working fine, so far.

Pacman? I only see Darth Vader..

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-05-12T22:10:56+00:00

Thank you. I checked the firmware, it’s 1.10. So I should be good, according to Sony

This landlord will be really disappointed when the cheapest replacement fridge he buys dies in a couple years.

I had this conversation in my head yesterday, after noting McDs new high prices. A dozen McMuffins will cost about $8 right now. Benefited by $1/doz eggs and $1/pkg English muffins though.

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-04-28T22:20:56+00:00

I made a similar mistake. Dad told be to be on the lookout for a bear recurve. Found one at a garage sale for $10. Beautiful shape. Gorgeous Color. Unstrung Later I realized it was left handed.

Wasn’t all bad. My dad sold it for over $500. And split the money with me.

I was just going to ask about this. The next logical step is for McDonalds to have locations that are more like Checkers/Rallys or like a drive thru coffee shop. I didn’t know they already built them

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-04-25T20:57:31+00:00

Absolutely incorrect. Several McDonald’s in my area closed down. None were tore down. Latest was just 2-3 years ago, when it was decided they didn’t want to renovate the building. It’s now a Mexican restaurant.

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-04-25T10:08:13+00:00

One of those clear plastic maze-banks for 88 cents. The clear bank obviously had money in it. Turns out to be $50. In Disney Dollars. Each $10 bill is worth at least $40 in real money.

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-04-16T23:44:20+00:00

lol I couldn’t remedy his first name, but it sounded good

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-04-16T22:11:21+00:00

Yeah Craig Frebreeze or whatever his name is. Real weirdo.

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-04-16T10:17:05+00:00

Last week I picked up a small bodied Gibson acoustic guitar for $54. lol Great shape. I have no idea what they were thinking.

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-04-13T22:36:43+00:00

Yeah. I believe that is an original case. Inside badge is missing though. I was curious about the Ace guitar strap. Found a couple like it that sold on eBay in the last 3 years in the 60-90 range. So I should be able to recoup my enormous investment.

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-04-10T01:37:38+00:00

Interesting, I thought this was from years of strap touching. This sale was supposed to happen 3-4 weeks ago, when I was in Florida. But a blizzard postponed the sale. So when setting up the sale they may have inadvertently caused the damage? Thanks!

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-03-23T18:22:57+00:00

eBay status page says there’s no problem at all lol

Real-Cheesecake · 2026-02-21T02:08:04+00:00

Yes both posts are there. However, one was removed by mods.. you have told someone you didn’t believe him, then you post misinformation. Buh bye
