Hi all,
Back in the day when I traded my first Atari in for a 130XE with 320Kb and 6 different ROM's (
) I also got a Atari 1050.
It was a Atari 1050 with Happy, tracking sensor, write-protect switch and density identifying led's.
Unfortunately the 1050 is not working so great anymore.
I don't use it as often anymore, but I really would like to so it working properly.
Where would I start with restoring the Happy 1050? I did some diagnostics a few months ago.
I remember the RAM test being failed, so maybe that's the only problem.
Are there perhaps some more diagnostics available?
I doubt it is an original board, but I made some pictures.
There are some IC markings scratched off, but I'm sure someone can tell me what is what :-)
Also, I'm looking for someone that can alter a front bezel of the 1050.
Because the tracking sensor's casing broke when I moved to another house several years ago.
So now the display is hanging outside the case![:P]()
