In this video we take a look at my Tandy branded pocket computer collection. We’ll do some cleaning and we’ll so some repairs. At times things break faster than they can be fixed but we wind up with almost everything working and ready to take to Tandy Assembly 2022. At the end we show off some items that were donated by a 3rd party for the TASM 2022 auction.
