[Coco] Color Computer Learning Lab

[Bob Devries]

John,
One problem I found with the DIN socket on the coco is that after a lot of 
use, the tiny fork inside the socket holes become bent out of shape, and 
don't make good contact.

Using a very small screwdriver blade, I prised the forks towards the centre 
of the hole to make better contact. The screwdriver needs to be 
approximately 1 millimetre in width. The one I have came in a set sold by 
the 'Shack.

Hope that helps.
