ITEM
DESCRIPTION
NOTE:
THIS PURCHASE DOES NOT INCLUDE A CALCULATOR !!!
UP FOR BID
IS A NEW 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

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER (BSEE), WITH DECADES OF EXPERIENCE...
