WELCOME TO MY WORKSHOP
Central Maine TekWerx has evolved from a small business into the home for my many hobbies. The business was active for a few years before I returned to full-time employment. These days I enjoyrepairing and restoring vintage computers, electronics repair, 3D printing, and whatever interesting project happens to be on the workbench this week. I primarily focus on the 8 bit Tandy's, but I've also dabbled in the Atari 8-bitters as well. I also have a few PC systems based on the AMD K6 series with one even having a Voodoo 3 card. But that's not all, as Billy Mays would say.
I also spend time sharpening my electronics repair skills. For a while I was an Electronics Technician in the U.S. Navy. My Navy electronics training may be a few decades old, but it gave me a solid foundation—and it's still paying off today. I've not got an almost full lab of basic test equipment and I buy broken things to fix. Sometimes. I've been working on repairing devices from a Tandy CoCo 3, a Colecovision, and a Sonos speaker that is currently the bane of my existence. My CoCo specific articles will continue to remain over at Tandy-TRS80.com, while Central Maine TekWerx is where you'll find everything else—from electronics repairs and 3D printing projects to retro PC experiments and whatever catches my interest next.
The randomness of my hobbies is on display here. Counterclockwise, there is a heavily modified Color Compuer 1, The display of my o'scope when diagnosing Color Computer 3 that had no video, three variiations of capacitor testers when I was working on a Sonos speaker, and finally a 3D printed case I designed for a MIDI card used with a CoCo and an MPI.
