I have a regular pentagon-128 from 1993 with one 5.25"

There are 2 more joysticks.  One with repkohamu and one
a button on the handle, and the second one, in the process, is foreign - 2
buttons on the body and a handle with a ball at the top (such

I also have a cool one, almost new and very comfortable
56-key keyboard, in a black case from somecomputer
(probably BuKashki) and even the inscriptions are still almost on the buttons
visible.

But my monitor is crappy - VTC-202, which is very

after the first turn on (the transistors in the power supply burned out).

Before the Pentagon I had (and now have) Moscow-48 - her
made by my uncle in 1988-89.  She's in homemade
case, with a homemade board for the keyboard, and buttons forthe keyboards were torn from the keyboard of the Soviet computer Electronics.
Sometimes the button caps fly off when released and
the spring flies far and for a long time.                       
                                                        
There is also a sandwich from ROM and RUs of different letters in galimov
sockets, and on the bottom of the board there is a web of wires (like
there were so many errors on the board). Very often the computer itself
It crashes and hangs.  Sometimes the memory starts to fail and

In 1990-91, when I had Moscow-48, we came to
The store delivered AGAT-9 computers and people rushed to buy them
(and they bought it quite quickly because we have such a place,
where many electronics engineers used to live who also had
Spectrums, so they needed AGATs for spare parts, and
it soon became clear that the Russian Federation there are bad and do not change,
The handsets are also bad, a crappy IZOT drive and a terrible
squeaky keyboard and everything on the 155 series and
processor MOS 6502 made in India). So we went ahead

still, though half a year agoI tried on it
something to encode the intro plan, and the drive became very
bad to read.                                           
                                                        
                                                        
ps: red-hot (nail) - this means heated on gas =)

There is also an external covox - 25 connector (from the printer) to
to which the DAC is soldered and all this in a small soap dish =))
A 25 connector sticks out of the soap dish, which plugs into
printer and there is also a 5 (or 7) connector hanging on the wiring,
which is plugged into the tape input where it is output
12 volts.  True, I almost never use Covox because... into it
I also need to plug in an amplifier and speakers (previously I plugged it into
his tape recorder Spring).

Well, in general, I have a Scorpio. Very old Scorp, I bought
a scarf back in 1993 in St. Petersburg, in Avtovo, in Zonovskaya
tent (there was one like this before).  I have an early scarf
episodes, even at first the ROM was on it without a monitor
;), and on all the mikrukhs the markings were erased with a file,
like to keep the board from splitting for a longer time.  Because of this
crap, I worried for a long time when I had a Scorp in 94
It started to glitch - you can’t take it to St. Petersburg because  expensive,
I had to decide on the spot. I installed our ironwork
a liter jug of pure “Royal” (that was the alcohol), so
How did he really have to worry without a circuit...        
He fixed it for me, in general, it turned out to be RU7. Now for a seat
I have an old one from Siemens, and the rest
(ugh, ugh, ugh) and have remained so to this day
unidentified, well, except for the processor, pezeukhi, vegehi and AU;)   
                                                        
By the way, my AU is cool. Since Scorpov's board
designed for a cropped 12th AU, and at that time they
were worth a lot, so Zonov sold long 10'e
soldered into the adapter.   Well, we bought one of these
adapter, and everyone else did it themselves, a
since the scarf was scrapped, then my AU is onytah
wiring, which adds exoticism to it.             
                                                        
I have a noble case - a homemade mini tower from
sheet aluminum.   I need the same piece of iron

I screwed the power supplies together, so the housing for

didn't worry.                                             
The transformer in my power supply is toroidal,
so it doesn't buzz.  And there’s also a fucking kandyuk like
"cans" with a diameter of 5 and a height of 15 centimeters
accordingly, this means that if there is voltage in the network
spoils me, my Spec didn’t give a fuck about it.          
                                                        
However, they overdid it with the “can”... No, of course Speck didn’t
it's buggy, but when you turn off the power supply, the LED slowly goes out

The crap is different and nothing works. So I came up with
exciting game "turn off / on the computer so that it does not
reset."  It becomes especially acute when
memory contains 10 kilos of text for PUSH, which have not yet
written to disk ;)                                     
                                                        
The outside of my case is covered with chewing gum stickers
Terminator 2, Startrek, Indiana Jones - about ten years old
ago I really loved chewing gum with stickers, especially
Terminator, that's why I have all of these stickersmore.
I have a sticker above the naba switch, also known as a switch,
fashionable in spec circles in the mid-nineties,
"Intel Outside" sticker, angled to resemble the Intel Outside logo
companies.  I remember Elf printed them out, and then we 
everyone put stickers on them about what was there
inside on institute computers ;)                       
                                                        
Also in memory of the 1996 elections I have glued
affirmative sticker "I voted", I have them too
it was a lot, since the mother of my then girlfriend
worked at the polling station.  Near the connectors
joysticks I have a circle-shaped sticker glued to it
“QC passed”, which I tore off, I don’t remember where.         
                                                        
By the way, about these same joystick connectors. I tore them off
from an old Atari board (what a dumbass, because the computer was
worker), since I really liked atapebckue
joysticks.  These types of joeys were also produced in Russia,
current their bottom two red buttons did not work, and
the joeys themselves fell apart quickly.  And this is already twenty
years old, and they don’t give a fuck - they work.                       
Since the wires from the devices ended in standard
branded nine-pin connectors, and I should cut them off
I didn’t want to, so I had to unsolder the connectors from the Atari and
screw them into the Speck case. Damn it happened, a
the best part is that these same joeys because of their
Standards, as it turned out, also apply to the C64.
Also, the modulator was torn from the broken Atari,
who took Xn0bys for himself, but never connected it to
to my Spec :(                                         
                                                        
In addition, on the face of the body I have
connector for sound that goes to the amplifier
"Radiotehnika", and then through 25 watt speakers of the same
companies are in my ears and sometimes very loud. Moreover, there
On the face, there is a connector for keyboard 58. There are three more
buttons: reset, monitor and A/B drive switch.  
                                                        
I now have two disk drives again. About eight years ago
I had two of them too, but both of them were five, then one
fucked up.  So I lived for five years with one. Then that one
fucked me toogot a five-piece Teac, and last fall,
realizing the need for three (programs from the Internet to carry and

p.s.  And recently I filled my Spec with beer. Put the glass down
