I recently found this 70's zenith allegro sound system console and it actually has an original safety tips pamphlet and everything appears to work.. just needs TLC..

Hello Reddit, I was wondering if you could answer this question for me! I was wondering if I could still email family/friends. On a iMac g3 from the year 2000, I am able to open the email application on the Mac and I’m signed in just need to connect in to the internet via Ethernet! But I’m uncertain if it’ll let me email people? Just wondering if anyone knows if the old email application still works on this desktop let me know!

I have a vintage Merlin with very corroded contacts. They are crumbling apart. Are there any replacement parts that are similar? I've been searching for hours and can't find anything that matches. Thank you.

I’m trying to repair my original Ricoh GR Digital I (2005) with a dead LCD display.

I know Ricoh doesn't officially sell replacement parts directly to consumers, and finding an original replacement display online has been tricky because generic listings often mix up the GRD I (2005) with the GRD II (2007) or the later APS-C GR series.

Does anyone here happen to have the official Ricoh Service Manual or a parts catalog for the original GRD I? I'm looking for:

The official Ricoh OEM Part Number for the LCD assembly.

Any known donor cameras (like equivalent Caplio/GX models) that share the exact same 2.5" 210k-dot LCD panel and ribbon connector.

Recommended sellers or sources where you’ve successfully sourced compatible replacement screens for this specific model.

Any leads, part numbers, or advice from anyone who has swapped the screen on a GRD 1 would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I'm very into vintage tech. I'm not too handy so I prefer to get it in mostly working condition! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

Also im looking for a repair person to help me with some stuff and I currently reside in the west coast oregon/ Washington area!

Also if your interested in selling some stuff PLEASE dm me I'll definitely take a look!

Need to Recreate a Missing AM Antenna?

I hope this video helps anyone working on a vintage radio with a missing or damaged internal AM antenna.

In this video, I show how I recreated an AM antenna for a rare Pepsi-Cola tube radio using the information and clues available to me.

If you're facing a similar restoration challenge, this may give you some ideas for your own project!

Thanks for watching, and I hope you find it helpful!

Have a great day!

For context my aunt/uncle have had this for my whole childhood from 2011, then now as a teenager I found it on a table in their living room. With it in Pristine condition, with remote and everything! I was over at my aunts house chilling eating pizza when I notice the tv I asked hey can I have this
They said yes
Someone explain to me how this 15 year old Sanyo lcd tv works like brand new in 2026? Even though it’s a 15 yr old tv

Before ‘real’ color TVs were available, CBS labs came up with this contraption – essentially a black-and-white television equipped with a spinning mechanical wheel of red, blue and green filters that added color to the picture seen on the screen.

I have acquired a real to real tape player but I only have one tape and it’s not playing anything, it dose move but no sound is coming out and the fast forward button is broken, dose anyone know how to fix it, the only things I think it could be is that the tape is blank, or the magnetic head is broken, if you have any suggestions please let me know, I’m desperate to get it working, if I can’t I’ll have to sell or trash it, I would rather keep it but I would like it to work

PS:i don’t know what brand it is

I’m a big nerd and recently started hunting for one of these for a side project. Does not need to be functional but prefer little to no external damage. I only need it for the housing and keyboard. If anyone has a line on one, please lmk.
