After everything that went wrong in the first two videos, it's finally time to see if my Timex Sinclair 1000 is ready to come back to life.
In this episode, I replace the damaged membrane keyboard, install a modern switching power regulator, reassemble the computer, and power it up for the moment of truth.
Will these upgrades finally solve the problems, or is there still another surprise waiting inside this little 8-bit computer?
Join me as I continue the restoration and upgrade journey of this iconic machine.
This video is Part 3 of my Timex Sinclair 1000 restoration and upgrade series.
Upcoming upgrades include:
RAM expansion
Custom ROM experiments
And possibly adapting a TI-99/4A keyboard to the TS1000
