#shorts – Enterprise 128 a quick refurb

… or a rather boring cleaning story

Intro

This is another short post but this time about the Enterprise 128 computer. The machine was working but required a nice cleaning and some wires.

I’ve already covered one of the Enterprise machines on my blog in the past so feel free to have a look for details on making a video lead or other mods there.

This particular machine was sent to me from the other side of the world – Brazil – as a donation to the blog for which I am very grateful. It took over two years to cover it on the blog though as the TODO queue is quite long 😀

The computer was in working order but as I’ve mentioned earlier, it needs a bit of cleaning.

Let’s go!

PSU and video wire

As I’ve mentioned earlier, the making of video wire was covered in the Enterprise 64 blog post so I won’t cover it again.

If it is about the PSU, I’ve just adopted a standard 9VDC unit to power the machine. When doing a similar job, just remember about pin polarity, as it has to be swapped most of the time.

Cleaning and 3D-printed parts

After standard cleaning, I’ve 3D printed a summy port cover and a joystick.

Tada! Enterprise 128 is ready and waiting 🙂
