TRS-80 Model 12 Diagnostic Test Fixture and Diagnostic Spacer

More new hardware for your "Big Tandy" system! The Tandy Emeritus Diagnostic Spacer and Test Fixture allow you to bring the bus out of your TRS-80 Model II, 12, 16, 16B and Tandy 6000 for easy diagnostics and prototyping. I go through the entire process of building, assembling, and using the Diagnostic Spacer and Test Fixture with my TRS-80 Model 12.
** There are quite a few times where the camera loses focus. Sorry. **

Thanks for the videos. I will always love Tandy more than any other!

That wood paneling goes along well with 1980's Tandy computers. Completes the '80's feel.'

I think the wood paneling is the most popular thing on my channel! It really does complete the image. Thanks for watching!
