Entry 27th September 2022: Post 1: Philips CM8833-II- Tough cookie.


Philips CM8833-II- Tough cookie.


The Philips monitor for the A500 in the workshop is one tough
cookie. You may note from this old photograph at the end of these
pics that the front flap is missing. Thing was that the monitor
stands on a V shaped support and I made the mistake of moving the
monitor such that it actually fell off the bench and landed screen
down. That was five years ago and she is still working, minus
the flap.

I've been very busy these last few days moving stuff around as I
have needed to access the rear of the house through the workshop.
In doing so I had cause to disconnect the Philips and move her
elsewhere for a while.

Anyhoo she's back together now and I can report fully working. I
knew I had a series of pics on the blog of one of my days mucking
around on the 500. Turns out they predate the image based links
and were lost in a text list. Been after these pics for a while.

The A500 sits with the GVP sidecar and is the computer I use to
test demo disks and the like. She sits next to an Amiga 4000. I
doubt there is a week she isn't checking over old A500 games and
the like. So very useful I have to say.

Happy days.
