ITEM DESCRIPTION
UP FOR BID IS A KIT TO RE-BUILD TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TI-59 CALCULATOR MAGNETIC CARD READERS. THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE OLD CALCULATORS IS A “GUMMY OR BRITTLE” CARD READER WHEEL….MOST CALCULATORS YOU SEE ON EBAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ....THE FEW GOOD ONES SOLD BY HONEST, & KNOWLEDGEABLE SELLERS SELL FOR AN ARM AND A LEG. SO IF YOU OWN ONE, THE BEST SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHEEL YOURSELF USING MY KIT.
NOW A WORD TO THE WISE….TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL DRIVE REPAIR IT TAKES A CLEAR SET OF INSTRUCTIONS, A NEW DRIVE WHEEL, A LITTLE BIT OF SKILL, DETERMINATION AND BASIC HOBBY TOOLS. THESE REPAIRS ARE NOT ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL, BUT IF YOUR CALCULATOR IS IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION BUT THE DRIVE WON’T WORK THEN THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT YOU CAN REPAIR IT ……IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT TOO…...
THE KIT INCLUDES:
+ A FULL SET OF INSTRUCTIONS, 14 PICTURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS IN PDF FORMAT SHOWING YOU
HOW TO TAKE THE CALCULATOR APART, REPAIR THE DRIVE, RE-ASSEMBLE AND CALIBRATE
THE MACHINE. THE INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE SENT TO THE BUYER BY EMAIL ATTACHMENT.. see
shipping details below. THE KIT WAS PREPARED BY, AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER (BSEE), WITH
DECADES OF EXPERIENCE...
+ 1 NEW PLASTIC WHEEL CUSTOM MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE TI-59
+ SOFT PAD MATERIAL FOR REPLACEMENT IF NEEDED
+ A NEW DRIVE ROLLER CLEANING CARD, ESSENTIAL TO MAINTAIN THE ROLLER WHEEL CLEAN
+ A NEW COPY OF A NEW CALCULATOR DIAGNOSTIC CARD FOR USE IN CALIBRATING THE SPEED OF
THE DRIVE & DIAGNOSING THE CALCULATOR
NOTICE: THIS BID DOES NOT INCLUDE A CALCULATOR OR A CARD READER DRIVE….YOU NEED TO PROVIDE A CALCULATOR THAT IS RE-BUILDABLE AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT YOUR CALCULATOR CAN BE REPAIRED. YOU WILL NEED TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE THE SKILLS AND DETERMINATION TO UNDERTAKE THE REPAIRS …..
