In 1965 I built a computer that played tic-tac-toe. It used switches to select your move and the computer would then make its selection. Flashlight bulbs indicated the moves made by the player and the computer. This was extremely primitive but it also worked.

In 1966 I built a translation computer using a telephone dial (no there were no touch tone pads then). This computer took a digital number and converted it to binary. I was a terrible math student, but this project made my math teacher feel just as dumb when it came to binary mathematics with ones and zeros. I used transistor driven flip-flop devices and a front end called a de-bouncer circuit. The engineers at the Burroughs Corporation helped me with that part of the circuit. I won first prize at the county fair for this invention. I displayed the first integrated circuit at the fair. It was stolen off the display even though it did not work.

In 1967 I converted an old oscilloscope into a submarine game with a remote control but this was just the beginning of video games!

In college I majored in Radio TV Film and Communication. My senior paper was an extensive report on 2-way cable television. This was truly a vision of the future and birth of Multimedia.

After graduating from college in the early 70's I went to work for Jet Propulsion Labs in Pasadena. I created a ground support test module for Mariner Jupiter Saturn. It used a large 1-MB disk drive and I developed a slow scan conversion electronics module. This was fancy stuff then. I did not see the color photos from that project for another 8 years when MJS flew by the outer planets.

In 1976 I went to work for a major medical electronics manufacturer. I had debugged a lot of equipment even though I wasn't in the engineering department. Although I was a field engineer, my modifications made me famous within that company. I went around the country making these modifications to equipment at the customer's requests. Soon I had diplomatic clearance to travel to the People's Republic of China (PRC). Something unheard of in most circles since the PRC was off limits to Americans in those days.

San Francisco Computer Repair Repair employees work on a diverse array of equipment. Employees are encouraged to strive for excellence and always accept a challenge. Here are some of the unique types of equipment we have worked on:

Presidio of San Francisco: Military Intelligence Computer Systems, US Army Mail Handling Systems, Unique Main Frame Systems, and the Presidio Telephone Exchange Main Computer.

Automated Data Systems (ADP) When Bank of America had to divest of ADP, ADP no longer had maintenance staff to support the ultra-fast, check printing printers that printed most of the bay area's payroll checks. San Francisco Computer Repair Repair was contracted for 3 years to support this equipment until the equipment could be replaced by new laser driven systems.

3-Com Park (Candlestick Park). Kiosks placed by Anderson Consulting and Pacific Bell use multimedia technology with card keys to give bonus points to sports fans. Emergency updates were provided by San Francisco Computer Repair Repair just hours before the first game began.

Printing Press Equipment Repairs. Component level repairs are made in emergencies for several printing plants in San Francisco. These devices handle paper and safety equipment.

Sports Signage. San Francisco Computer Repair  is an authorized Daktronics Service Center. The electronic signs at places like Larkspur Shopping Center, Westlake Park in Daly City are maintained by San Francisco Computer Repair Repair Technicians.
