Pretty awesome -- a YouTuber that I follow (Robert Baruch) designed replacement LCD modules for the TRS-80 PC-1 (aka Sharp PC-1211 Pocket Computer) and had them manufactured. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8Vagc0FJK8 He's received the samples and they work great, and so he's ordering 200 more and will have them for sale sometime soon. Seemed like something that might be of interest to this crowd :) Best, -Mark
Awesome. Don’t forget to post when he has them available. I will buy a couple for my collection of PC-1 systems. corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ Sent from my iPhone

Very cool. I would buy one if I still had this computer.
As requested, posting with an update on the TRS-80 PC-1 displays being available. Robert has opened a Tindie store, they're $20. https://www.tindie.com/products/halfbakedmaker/lcd-replacement-for-trs-80-pc... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TbvC79ff3M Cheers, -Mark <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sun, Apr 14, 2019 at 8:43 PM Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
