silvestrons bits and bytes | This IBM PC 5150 restoration is a challenge @silvestronsbitsandbytes | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
A friend found this IBM 5150 in his garage and wanted to get it up and running again, so I said I'd take a look. It has obviously been quite a while since it last saw the light of day, so it needed a fair bit of work to get going. This will be a multi-parter!
This is part 1, you can watch part 2 at youtu.be/5A6S31Rd0k8

I am NOT an expert, I have genuinely NO idea what I'm doing, and mostly just glue things together and use a lot of Google-fu until stuff works. I've been tinkering with electronics since I was a kid but have no formal training and will probably do things incorrectly. If you learn something from this, that's awesome, but trust me - I'm learning too!
