RE: Is there a consolidated set of repair information?
Aloha,

I did see teenix's <a href="http://teenix.org/ClassicNotes.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Classic Notes</a> page, and that's the sort of thing I'd like to see referenced in a single documents. I've seen multiple deep dives like this referenced, but no single source.

During Covid my old company got everyone a "home office improvement gift". Since I was in upper management I got the giant glass whiteboard. It's still not up. Nearly all the engineers got a scope. I should have taken the scope!

I'm certainly not going to question Mr. Quickfall's not delivering something, I'm getting the idea this is a somewhat large undertaking. I just figure it's not that much extra work to document bringing my babies back to life. And anytime I've done something like this in a professional context the extra 10% of time always has an outsized payback on team productivity. I learned early in as leader to always put the newest person in charge of the team knowledgebase. Always saved me a lot of time not answering questions, and avoiding having to say "I don't know, go find out and put it in the KB." Thus the illusion of omniscience is preserved. :-)

I must admit, it was quite disheartening to dig out my boxes of calcs and find that *NONE* of my complete in box near mint 20's and 30's were working. I knew 2 or 3 41's would need attention (one even has the green cancer on the battery contacts), but *all* of my most prized calculators? Ouch.

I forgot to add, I really want to express my deep appreciation to Dave for all the effort he has put into the museum. I've been coming here since he first appeared on the web. Creating a community and resource like this and to keep it vital and growing for 25-ish years is absolutely amazing. In one of my boxes is an old CD set and probably a bunch of other things I would never have known about if not for Dave and the Museum. Truly a great achievement.

Mahalo ala nui Dave, and to everyone who has contributed over the years.
