KOJRO Retro innovations | The Commodore 1802 Monitor, The good old Switcheroo @kojroRI | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This is the third part of only the second Commodore monitor repair appearing on my channel. I do have some more in the pipeline, but when it comes to monitors you need to have the available desk space. Not only because the monitors take some space, but you need to really take a serious view on the safety. If you don’t have the space, you might create unsafe situations where you touch the high voltage parts, and when you have kids running around the danger can be even more real. So this is work I normally do down in my garden shed. And there has been, and still are a lot of snow, and I generally don’t like to work down there when I have to turn the heat on max. But spring are here, finally! In this third episode I swap the power switch, and tries to do some testing. This is of course not without it’s snags. As usual I try to give some tips and pointers along the way. The information in this video, comes from my head, and from these webpages #commodore #1802 #ME5A
