Thanks for the report. I'm glad you were able to get some of the stuff working. Keep us posted.

Ok, so far after a lot of work, I at 2 working disk drive units, and a working coco2 and 3. The 3 had the power caps (C29 and C31) leak all over the board, so I removed them and cleaned up the board, covered the exposed copper with nail polish and replaced the caps. Now the 3 is back up.
Sorry no photos. One of the rubber feet on the 2 had melted all over the 3's keyboard, but 90% alcohol removed it. Now the keys are soaking in a warm
Soapy bath to be scrubbed in a few.

The coco2 has a working composite video adapter. I'm going to try this weekend to remove it and copy the design so we can finally have a working
Coco2 to composite monitor adapter schematic.

Lots of fun so far.

Later,
dabone

Yes, I worked at Technical Labs, full or part time for 35 years. We used CoCos for a lot of things.

I found something from Technical Labs, is this the one on Cherokee Blvd? I went to one of the coco user group meetings there back in the day.
(We are talking 24 years ago or more). My best friend bought his video digitizer, and I remember that King Trent was there (I don't remember the name of his bbs.)

That is a real blast from my past. So we may have met before. But I was a lot smaller back then.

Mark Ormond picked up the CoCo stuff that got water damaged when my shop was demolished. Here's hoping he is able to use some of it.
