TANDY SHOWCASE: Preserving the past - Tandy, Radio Shack and related things.
Beginning in 1977, Tandy and Radio Shack entered the computer arena & were known for their industry-leading systems for many years. Scroll down to see some of the featured systems.
(Note: some images are from our personal collection while others were obtained online and remain the property of the original owners)
TRS-80 Microcomputer (aka "Model 1")
The computer was stored in a cardboard box in the corner of a garage. It had definitely seen better days...
Initial disassembly... notice the red "reset" button added by the owner (the main reset button is hard to reach at the back of the case). We cleaned the main circuit boards and the case as much as possible.
The key caps had seen quite a bit of "everything" over the decades...
...thankfully it was all on the surface and cleaned up nicely.
Once reassembled, the system looks much better.
On a side note... overall we don't refinish the computer cases if possible... that worn look where the palms would rest, are indicative of the memories lived out through this system.
NETWORK2 Controller (before Local Area Networks were "a thing")
