We don't need one of those fancy soldering pump guns.
Some of you really liked the "zip tie trick"

Nicely done Chad. You did all the same upgrades I did with my CoCo 3 recently. The CPU replacement is probably the hardest upgrade to do since the original CPUs are soldered to the board. Like you I took my time in removing it. I do have one more upgrade happening with my CoCo 3, but you'll have to wait for a upcoming video. No spoilers 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to listen to me speak.
I am excited to see what you’ve got up your sleeve.
Solid video, Chad. You should show us around your collection and setup sometime.
I've yet to venture into the Tandy CoCo world, but I'll get there. What programmers are doing with it now is pretty amazing.
Everyone in this small community is amazing! Radio Shack was one of my favorite stores to visit when I was a kid.
Great video Chad! I am totally stealing that ziptie trick... Cool machine. Not one I have ever seen over here in the UK.
It's a pretty handy trick for sure!
Howdy, Lee!
The coco is not entirely unlike a Dragon, ever encountered one of those?
@@ChadDoebelin The dragon 32 was the computer of choice at my school in the early eighties!
I've been trying to get hold of one since I started collecting, but haven't found the right one yet!
Great video! I had never seen the zip tie trick before…gonna have to try it!
It might save your life!
Awesome vid! Good job finding the issue and fixing it. Neat trick with the zip ties too!
Redneck engineering 😂
@@ChadDoebelin right up my alley! 😂
Cracking upgrade and those games don't half look great! Nice use of the Solder Sucker too!
Howdy friend!
Yep this platform deserves better! There are a few gems. Now that I have a functioning machine I can spend some time exploring.
It's really rather cool! @@ChadDoebelin
Great video Chad! Glad you found the culprit and were able to "game on!"
oh man, I'm glad too. I was sure that I had ruined a priceless artifact.
I need to start tinkering with this stuff. I need some major practice!
You should, it's a fun hobby!
