All,

 

I recently attended Tandy Assembly 2023 and Eric Dittman asked me to recap
an M100 that had belonged to Frank Durda an engineer at Tandy. I did not pay
much attention to it at the time but when I took it apart last night, I was
not sure what I was looking at. The PCB is a US type but has dozens of
modifications and is a bit different than any other one I have seen. 

I then noticed it was missing the TRS-80 Model 100 badge, the FCC label and
it had no serial number. Now I'm thinking this might be a prototype machine.
I took a few quick pictures, link below. I plan to take some higher quality
images and document the modifications as well as I can. The goal it to get
it working but not alter it more than required. The only caps that look like
they are leaking at the 10uf (which are normally the worst ones), so I will
start with those and the memory battery and see if it springs to life.
