Picked up an original PET 2001-8 awhile back that's been heavily (and I
do mean heavily) modified at various points in its history by someone
with very odd design aesthetics. (See pic at
http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/hackedpet.jpg &
http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/hackedpet2.jpg).
Various parts were hacked in and hot glued (!!) in place or just left to
dangle. When I got it everything was loose inside. There's an
Expandamem board and some homebrew job with some eproms and some hackery
connected to the internal cassette port. There are various switches on
the front and back that do who knows what. The keyboard & tape drive
have been replaced with a different keyboard, alas. (I'll leave finding
those two items for a later date...)
And the power supply's capacitor has been replaced with some huge
Sprague monstrosity larger than a pop can. Haven't even attempted to
power it up since the power supply wiring's all hanging loose and taped
together, but I'm afraid of that capacitor and I'd rather just return
this thing to more or less "original spec" and remove all of this extra
stuff.
Anyone know what the original power supply capacitor was for this
thing? I've found parts lists & schematics for the main PCB, video &
voltage regulator but none of them appear to list this. (I'd also be
interested in knowing the transformer specs & wiring, since I'm probably
going to have to rewire that...)
Thanks,
Josh
