Re: Kaypro 2000 charging

I've used NiCads in RC radios, a long as they had transistor RC radios. I just thought it was a little unusual to see lead acid cells for a portable. I guess they were more concerned about run time than weight.

Hi Dwight, The Selectric Typewriter Museum has a blurb on the 2000 and calls out a 3 cell lead acid battery pack. A Youtube video that dismantles a 2000 that the magic smoke came out of also calls out a lead acid battery. The age is around 1985, so I'm not sure NiCd were readily available

That seller has listed the 6130B and two 6131B a few times. Since those are in Seattle I should see if the seller allows local pickup as the listed shipping costs are higher than the item costs. Maybe grab all three and hope at least one of them can be made to work. On Wed, May 16, 2018 at 5:13

Kaypro 2000 charging

Hi, I just found a Kaypro 2000 at the local recycler. No power supply. From what I can find online it has three(3) lead acid batteries. Any thoughts on getting it to fire up? I do not know the polarity of the power jack on the back. Once I get that, I was thinking of a 6 volt supply, more

I was fortunate enough to acquire a TU56 this week, along with a TD8E controller.  However, the TU56 lacks the G888 flip-chips necessary to work with the TD8E; I know these parts are in short supply, but in the unlikely event that anyone has (a) a set of 5 G888 boards, or (b) a TC01, TC08 or
