- Key switches. Good lord key switches. If anyone has advice on where to
get some for cheap (preferably less than $0.50 a piece), please let me
know. I would like to use linear ones for the correct feel. Blues just
wouldn't be right on this machine.
- Key caps. The ones on it aren't compatible with any modern switch. I'm
going to try and find caps that match the original as close as possible;
although, I may take some liberties to make the keyboard layout more
modern. The old layout kind of sucked.
- Soldering Iron. My current soldering iron is weak and barely does the
job for soldering small things. I need a more powerful one so that I
can do this project with more ease and less risk of failure.
- Capacitors, resistors, wires, voltage regulators, etc. Kind of
self-expanatory. The crt driver board needs to be repaired, and I also
need the bits to build the keyboard and the main board.
- Fuses. Don't want it to smoke.
- GBS-8100. Converts VGA to CGA.
- Teensy 2.0 Keyboard Controller. Obviously need this for the keyboard.
- New Power Supply. I need one that can output at least 15V at 3A. I
could use the transformer that's part of the original machine and
rectify it, but my big fear is that it will fail. I would rather avoid
the aging behemoth and just buy a DC power supply.
