Hey Birt! | Sharp CE 125 @HeyBirt | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Video sponsor: PCBWay: $5 for 2 layer PCBs with 24hr turnaround at pcbway.com/g/m3hn11
In this video we’ll refurbish a Sharp CE-125 microcassette and printer interface for the PC-1250/PC-1251 pocket computer. It will need a new set of belts installed after removing all the goo left behind by the originals. We’ll also install a new, custom-made battery pack. We’ll finish up testing it out and seeing if there are programs on the cassette that came with the unit.
Timeline:
00:00 – Welcome
03:02 – Teardown, belt R & R
23:40 – Cassette mech install, printer check, battery pack install
33:50 – Tape eraser
34:47 – Testing
50:27 – Tidbits and wrap up
