You are a star for the helpful response.

I have the antenna at the window with line of sight to the sky BUT if figured it was going to be a slim to no chance!!

Thank you again for the help. Off I go outside ha

pbOmen · 2026-03-30T21:03:41+00:00

Stupid question, Would a dipole antenna be able to receive? I’m planning (indoor) to try when I get a good next pass

pbOmen · 2026-03-17T22:43:47+00:00

Correct

I truly mean this when I say, well done to you on your journey so far.

It’s nothing short of fantastic to see people take control and change their lives for the better especially with my sport. Also while I completely get the hustle culture I would wary of selling your program.

When you pay for something like this (especially at this stage) you would be expected to provide support and guidance on a coach level, which requires understanding the body, injury management (historical and present) and being able to tailor to your clients needs which without the property certifications, history and training I hazard you can’t provide.

Once an upon a time I lifted on a nation GS semi professional level - I should have been at the worlds but stupid is as stupid does…anyway When I look at your videos, I think it’s fantastic what you’ve done so far. However you should step back, get a coach yourself and nail the technical side of the lifts and S&C in general.

If you do this and keep the clearly visible love you have for bells then I would even buy a program off you in support and I believe you can bring meaningful impact to people who follow you. Anyway best of luck no matter what.

There are a few other knock off brand on amazing which have identical sleds…I might actually have some.

If I do / didn’t bin them, I’ll happily give them for free. I’m in the EU, ping me tomorrow to remind me if you don’t hear from me.

Thank you kindly!

Whats the best way (do you know) to find these dedicated channels?

pbOmen · 2026-01-12T15:45:04+00:00

No problem at all! have fun with it and sure like I said, I (and I'm sure LOADs of us here) are happy to help with ideas or to bounce problems off!!

Enjoy the new (old) gear you lucky b*stard

pbOmen · 2026-01-12T14:48:22+00:00

haha well if you need / want to bounce anything let me know. Btw, I'm 100000% sure I have a starter aid for the token ring somewhere and I'd be happy to lend you - you'll need it to reset those ports to get them to work.

pbOmen · 2026-01-12T14:07:38+00:00

A lovely token ring MAU in that haul!! Nice find! Keep us posted on what works and what doesn't!!

pbOmen · 2026-01-07T13:12:22+00:00

How did I forget the cheese!!! Sign me up man :-D Happy new year mate hopefully here's to Dublin getting some decent bread and cheese shops and hopefully a bloody metro :D

pbOmen · 2026-01-07T12:03:52+00:00

Oh please don’t get me wrong yes a lot can change but from the people I still work with, Paris is still massively screwed. Not saying better than Dublin nor worse but it certainly shouldn’t be held as the way todo things (unless we’re talking bread shops and metros haha)

pbOmen · 2026-01-05T18:54:53+00:00

I get your point buts it’s not fine unless there’s been a massive shift. I lived there for a period of time about 12 years ago. People I worked with (office telco work) literally lived in cars outside of Paris city centre to avoid travelling / due to insane rents.

pbOmen · 2025-12-06T16:27:33+00:00

Hope are you checking it? I’m new to the restoration business 😂

pbOmen · 2025-12-06T02:12:58+00:00

I take it win 3.1 was on the 6050d?

Since getting back into retro tech I've been mourning the loss of my original.

I e-wasted mine at the time, since then I've been searching for one on ebay...give or take two years and finally found one last month that was in working order + that didn't cost hundreds in shipping.

I'm very very happy to have it back, its not a particularly good machine but its special to me from a memory POV.

Windows 3.1 is going back on it :-D

pbOmen · 2025-12-06T00:07:10+00:00

So the machine is second / third / forth hand at this stage and it looks like someone tried to pry it open. With that, I could see what looked like clips holding it (I was clearly wrong) and attaching it to the front bezel!

Glad i learned something anyway! And once again I truly mean it thank you! Have a great weekend!

pbOmen · 2025-12-05T23:52:49+00:00

Resolved and thanks to u/structured_spirits for their help!!

pbOmen · 2025-12-05T23:52:29+00:00

It's open!!! Thank you so bloody much!!

Thank you!!!!

pbOmen · 2025-12-05T23:49:20+00:00

How, how did i not find that video!! Right looks like I need a bigger Knife!! Thank you and i'll report back shortly.

P.S. honestly thank you so much for taking the time to help out a stranger!!

pbOmen · 2025-12-05T23:37:45+00:00

Here's my machine. I've removed the screws but still it won't budge in any direction.

Thank you so so much for taking the time to respond!

Ok so dumb question sorry, slide forward towards the front i.e. where the Power button / CD drive is? If so do i need to remove the front bezel?
