I’ll do a little more practice with the #TS80P, then I’ll use it to complete the re-assembly of my #Apple #Newton #eMate (speaker and another pair of wires had to be desoldered for disassembly.) I had already rebuilt & re-greased the hinges, including adding washers to mitigate future catastrophic failure.

Might actually have it up and running as a terminal for my #OpenBSD workstation before next weekend’s #GNUM No. 12!

Earlier this year I brought my #Apple #eMate to a #RepairCafe to disassemble, inspect, and [hopefully preemptively] address the common hinge issue. All looked good, so I brought it to a second session to disassemble, lubricate, and reinforce the hinges.

Due to schedule conflicts, I haven't attended the last few, so it's still in pieces. I need to source cells to rebuild the battery, plus order the memory expansion and another USB serial adapter.

Today's #NewtonTalk #GNUM was motivating!
