TJBChris | My New Tandy Color Computer 3 - Repairing Shipping Damage @TJBChris | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
I bought a new Tandy Color Computer 3! Unfortunately it was damaged in shipping, causing considerable damage to the case. In this video I cover the damage to the system, attempt to it, and test out the results of my work.
This video is a bit longer as repair was a multi-day process and quite involved.
