Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 batteries still alive

Last summer, I put new set of alkaline batteries in this portable beauty as I needed it for a photoshoot. A few months later, I used the machine also during a vintage computer event and (both times) I forgot to remove them. The stand-by energy consumption is apparently so low that nine months, the computer still holds the data in its RAM disk.

It was not working when I bought this old radio from 1958, I have stripped it down, cleaned it and repaired it. Someone had sprayed gold paint all over it. It now works well and I listen to it for a few hours everyday.

TRS-80 Model 100 Acquisition

A guy contacted me that he found a complete TRS-80 Model 100 at the recycling center, ready to be destroyed. He was not a vintage computer collector but realized that it could have value for some, so he started to google somebody who can appreciate it and found my Czech blog. He wrote me a message that I could take it for free if I was interested.

... and I indeed was. This particular machine travelled to our country during the socialism era and it is quite rare here. I love portable computers of all kinds, so I am very curious to see whether this 1983 ultra-mobile machine was just a useless toy or a valuable companion on the road.

The next step is to clean everything. The original suitcase started to disintegrate, and everything is covered with the black filth.
