Get everything ready
  • What you will need:

  • A 12v, 13v, 14v, 15v, or 16v, 2.5 Amp DC capable power supply with a center positive 2.5mm barrel connector plug at the end. I prefer 12v since these are very common these days because they come with home WiFi equipment that gets renewed quite frequently.

  • A labeler machine or printer (for the warning sticker). This is important, I'll tell you more about that later.

  • Hemostats. These are highly recommended because you will have to solder in places that are not easy to reach.

  • A soldering station capable of 330°C. This temperature setting is relevant because you will solder on elements capable of dissipating heat.

  • A small screwdriver for calibrating the motor speed.

  • A copy of 1050 disk drive diagnostics diskette for final tests and calibration. Find the software here and have it ready before beginning: https://archive.org/details/a8b_1050_Dis...
