Tempest's Sorcerer

 

Picture #3

 

This is a Sorcerer II from my personal collection.  I got my Sorcerer in 2015 from a user on Vintage Computer Forums who said that while it worked, it had some issues.  These issues included wobbly video output and the system reporting an incorrect amount of memory (it said the top of the RAM was at FFFF!).  With the help of fellow Sorcerer enthusiast Claus B. we managed to determine that the problem was two bad capacitors.  Once these were replaced the system worked like a charm.  Unfortunately the plate with the serial number was removed before I got it.

My Sorcerer has been further modified since then to fix the Video Jitter problem, upgrade the internal monitor to version 1.1, and to use Claus's new Sorcerer Tape Sim device.
