The only parts that are harder to come by are the cmos ones but you can use 74hc and maybe the 74ac parts and I power transistors can still be had

TBH everything so far has been 74LS, my only issue has its always something I don't have stock of.

Managed to bag these today for £5 plus postage:


The book on the left is of great interest as I owned a copy when younger, having bought it thinking it was a 'general' book on basic and not realising I really needed a TRS-80 to go with it.

But, hey ho, at least once the TRS is properly up and running I'll at least have one this time :)

And then to find a tape player from tandy
And the very rare model 1 monitor for Europe

You really are going all out on this TRS80 @rubber_jonnie. Will be a nice complete collection once done.

I'm very pleased with it, it's taken quite a while to get there :)

Disappointingly, no spares arrived in the post today. In fact no post at all, which was even more annoying because the strikes were on Friday/Saturday. Grr, fingers crossed for tomorrow.

I was wondering about that. What a pain.
