I did try reading it as an 8749. By 'not readable' I meant it
Thanks, I'll check that.

When I saw this thread I thought 'Oh, I have a 925!' Which was working last
time (years ago.)
But wouldn't you know. When I checked, it's a Televideo 924. Off by one.
But perhaps the character ROM content is the same?
Anyway I will see if it still works, and secure all the ROM images. Today.

Hi Guy,
If you didn't see this, it may be of interest:
http://everist.org/NobLog/20131112_HP_1000_minicomputer_teardown.htm
It won't help you identify your system model, but could be of help with
disassembly.
Funny coincidence that we have the same name, and similar HP-1000 minicomputers.
Or to just the item number:
253997593352
Assuming your browser is going to expand typing eb to ebay.com, then you enter
the item number in the ebay search box.

It's good that these caps are so readily available.
But on the other hand, I don't have any sort of power supply
at all, for either of my two PDP 8/S machines. Sob.
Being in a 240VAC mains country doesn't help, since I understand
the original DEC supplies were 110VAC input only.
But I'm not
Adrian, what order of volume and weight are these?
I'm definitely interested, from a general preservation viewpoint, also a

However I'm in Australia...

Oh does it! The texts say it doesn't, and it definitely didn't originally.
Maybe the change is in one of the more recent ISO standards
