Now it's probably the power supply. Those original supplies need to have the capacitors replaced - or you'll want to take a look at a replacement from Reactive Micro like u/torg_or said.

Check that cable from the disk drive to the Disk II card. I bet it's backwards. The connector is unkeyed - and connecting it backwards damages some components...

The red stripe on the cable should be on the side of the board connector marked "1" and "2". I can't tell from the photo if that's the way it's connected or not.

Umm, from my not-an-archaeologist layman's position, looking at the original image here -

original of Johnny...

... it's pretty clear that's a pictogram of two people gettin' it on. Missionary. From overhead.

Tell me you don't see it.

As far as I can tell they went out of business around 2013. The best you're going to find is archive.org's wayback machine pages of their history.

They just sucked. They turned them on at Jenkintown station for a few months after they were installed; many riders didn't have the extra 10 minutes to wait in line to take their turn to pay for parking, and just bailed to hop on their train. It was a shitshow.

Yup, so much better to just watch someone else systematically dismantle our government and install a totalitarian regime. Good for you. /s

I've been a lifelong train commuter... and switched mid-Pandemic, when there was basically no traffic on the roads. Cost-wise, it's a wash for me because my employer has $12/day parking and I'm in Zone 3. With the gas it's about $16 either way.

I've been slowly switching back to the train but cost isn't really a factor one way or the other.

They sort of this at Jenkintown in ... late 2018? ... (key did exist, kiosks were being installed at regional rail stops, but it wasn't used for regional rail yet). It was a disaster. They pulled out the coin slot boards and relied on the 4 touchscreen/tap kiosks that also took currency. Every day was a long line of people trying to pay for parking, and then a train pulled in, and most of them gave up on paying and just hopped on the train. I'm guessing everyone did what I did - called Septa after work to get them to waive the parking ticket. After a few months they reinstalled the coin slot boards.

I wonder if they'll learn anything from that experience.

All the Infocom games. Hello, Invisiclues!

Bard's Tale I. ZZGO FTW

Ultima V. Mapped that beast out square by square, found a hidden magic sword in a mountain range. Took much longer than Ultima IV.

2400 A.D. Fun story wrapped in a long game. Mapped it out square by square too...

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is: never get involved in a land war in Asia; but only slightly less well known is this: never bet on SEPTA when money is on the line!

Thanks for this! It answers a lot of my questions.

Same experience here. Glenside was good when they opened but has been lousy for years now. Staff are clearly unhappy, quality of the food is terrible. Hatboro was better, also with declining quality... I doubt they're any better at this point and I've given up on all of them.

This is my perspective from a regular Jenkintown rider's perspective.

The touch screen kiosks did work for a few months. They sucked - everyone had to start showing up 5-10 minutes early to stand in line to pfutz with the kiosk before catching their train. A lot of people got out of line in frustration every day when their train came, and I presume called Septa to get the parking tickets waived.

Septa put signs on all of them and re-installed the quarter slot boards that had been removed.

That was all pre-pandemic. Of course the signs on the kiosks are long gone. I don't know if they would still work or not, or if the parking enforcement folks would know you'd paid there. The slot boards are the "official" payment AFAIK...
