I have seen individual broken conductors in a ribbon cable. I have also seen bad "IDC" joints at the connector itself. I'm still inte...

The keyswitches on Atari CX-85 numeric pads are perfect replacements and seem to be much more reliable. They come up used on ebay all the time for around 10 dollars and contain 17 switches. Less than a dollar a switch. There are a bunch new for 25 each... still less than 2 dollars a switch.

Apply the deoxit to both the holes and the pins and let it set for a few minutes. Do not wipe away the excess. Then apply the Nyogel to the holes and the pins. Use a ...

Someone on the left coast should get this:

I didn't win that one, but I have one. I also have all of the original documentation, but no box. I traded a fully loaded IMSAI for it, so I guess I paid more for mine.

That is my intention. I want to get things cleaned up a bit first.
