Can someone help this guy out? There may be a Tandy 6000 in it down the road. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 11:20:53 -0500 From: Club 27 <thomas_disher(a)sympatico.ca> Subject: Need Tandy 6000 Keyboard Dear Museum founder: Have a Tandy 6000 HD system operating in Xenix. Have all the original 8 1/2" floppies for the OS, and for 'Scripsit' (Word Processing), and for 'Unify' (a RDMS) -- including all the Owners Manuals, and even the Technical Service Manual. However, I really need to keep this old mini-computer working for another 2 years before I pass it along to some collector or museum. I am prepared to make a deal (YOU can set the terms) with the individual who is directly instrumental in providing the assistance I need to keep my keyboard operational or who can assist me to acquire one or preferably two old keyboards for this unit. The problem is that the individual key contacts are failing, one after another. They are easily repaired/replaced -- but I have run out of the ability to switch the sound contact pads from the seldom used redundant keys to those that have failed. I am unable to find a source for these wee electrical contacts, and am looking to - beg, borrow or steal, or buy - a whole keyboard or two Can you help me, and/or redirect me ? What would be your terms ?
