THE TRIUMPH ADLER TA 10 IS AN ACCOUNTING SYSTEM / OFFICE COMPUTER.
IT WAS USED FOR SMALL AND MID SIZE COMPANIES TO HANDLE ALL SORT OF ACCOUNTING, ORGANIZATION, WRITING, ... JOBS.
IT WAS THE COMBINATION OF A TA EUCONTA 70 ACCOUNTING MACHINE WITH A MORE OR LESS FREELY PROGRAMMABLE COMPUTER.
ALTHOUGH THE TA 10 WAS A BIG SUCCESS FOR TRIUMPH ADLER (OVER 30.000 UNITS WERE SOLD), NOT SO MANY SURVIVED.
I AM LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION AND PARTS FOR THE TA 10!
PLEASE REPORT ALSO ANY KNOWN SURVIVORS TO ME!

| 2014-02-21 | BOUGHT AT EBAY - LOCATED IN KÖLN (COLLOGNE) |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 2014-03-14 | ITEM WAS SHIPED |
| | BROUGHT IT TO ITS CURRENT LOCATION (2ND FLOOR) - HEAVY BITCH! |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 2014-03-18 | POSTED TOPIC IN THE FORUM OF VZEKC E.V. TO ASK FOR HELP. |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 2014-03-20 | AFTER THE FIRST INSPECTION, I DECIDED TO TAKE THE FIRST SERIES OF PHOTOGRAPHS. |
| | AND BESIDES FROM MY GENERAL CURIOSITY, I WANTED TO FIND OUT, WHAT EXACT MODEL THIS MACHINE IS! |
| | |
| | A CLOSER LOOK ON THE ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD TOLD ME IT'S AN ADLER (SURPRISE!). |
| | A MODEL PLATE ON THE TYPE WRITER I/O DOES NOT EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO ME... |
| | ALSO THE PLATE ON THE BACK OF THE TYPE WRITER I/O JUST TELLS ME THAT THIS MACHINE IS FROM THAT TIME, |
| | WHEN TRIUMPH ADLER BELONGED TO THE US LITTON COMPANY (1968 - 1980). |
| | THE NUMERIC KEYBOARD ALSO JUST TOLD ME IT'S AN TA 10 AND I SAW THE SIX PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION KEYS, |
| | NINE FREE PROGRAMMABLE ALPHA SYMBOL KEYS AND TWO KEYS, I DON'T KNOW, WHAT THEY ARE FOR. |
| | DAMN! THERE'S A LOCK, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY KEYS! |
| | |
| | I KNOW, THAT THE PANEL ON THE LEFT FRONT WILL ANSWER PROBABLY MY QUESTION FOR THE EXACT MODEL. |
| | BUT THERE'S ALSO A LOCK! KNOWING THAT THIS LOCK ISN'T FORT KNOX, I DECIDED NOT TO BREAK THE LOCK |
| | BUT TO PICK IT. FINALLY MY FIFTH TRY OPENED THE LOCK (IN FACT A DELL KEY FOR A POWEREDGE SERVER |
| | DID THE JOB) AND I COULD TAKE A LOOK WHAT'S BEHIND: A CARTRIDGE PANEL WITH NO CARTRIDGES. |
| | |
| | NEVERTHELESS I KNOW NOW IT'S NO TA 10/3 BECAUSE THERE'S NO COMPACT CASSETTE DRIVE. |
| | OBVIOUSLY IT'S NO TA 10/1 (REMEMBER THIS WAS THE MODEL WITHOUT DESK!) |
| | FROM A TRUMPH ADLER BROCHURE FOR TA 10/1, TA 10/2, TA 10/3 I SEE, THAT THE PROM MODULE SLOT OF THE |
| | TA 10/2 HAS A DIFFERENT LOOK, SO I DECIDED, THAT I MUST HAVE A TA 10/4! |
| | HOPING, THAT THE MACHINE ROOM WOULD PROOF MY DECISION, I OPENED THAT BACK DOOR. |
| | BESIDES FROM A WARNING AND SOME CABLES, THERE WAS THE SCHEMATIC DRAWING OF ALL CONNECTIONS. |
| | BOTH CASES WITH THE LOGIC BOARDS WERE PACKED SEPARATELY FOR SHIPPING, AND ARE MISSING ON THE PICTURE. |
| | |
| | SO HERE ARE THE PICTURES OF THE BRAIN OF THAT TA 10: |
| | |
| | MY TA 10/4 - CPU CASE (BASE FRAME) FRONT VIEW |
| | MY TA 10/4 - CPU CASE (BASE FRAME) REAR VIEW |
| | MY TA 10/4 - CPU BOARD - BASE FRAME SLOT #1 |
| | MY TA 10/4 - CPU BOARD - BASE FRAME SLOT #2 |
| | MY TA 10/4 - CPU BOARD - BASE FRAME SLOT #3 |
| | MY TA 10/4 - CONNECTION BOARD FOR NUMERIC KEYBOARD - BASE FRAME SLOT #4 |
| | MY TA 10/4 - CONNECTION BOARD FOR CARTRIDGE PANEL - BASE FRAME SLOT #5 |
| | |
| | MY TA 10/4 - EXPANSION CASE (KAN FRAME) FRONT VIEW |
| | MY TA 10/4 - EXPANSION CASE (KAN FRAME) REAR VIEW |
| | MY TA 10/4 - LOGIC BOARD - KAN FRAME SLOT #2 |
| | MY TA 10/4 - LOGIC BOARD - KAN FRAME SLOT #4 |
| | |
| | ON SOME OF THE BOARDS YOU CAN SEE "10/4" WRITTEN, SO I MIGHT BE RIGHT WITH MY GUESS OF THE MODEL... |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 2015-01-14 | WHILE EXAMINING THE TTL CHIPS I DISCOVERED THE MEMORY OF THIS COMPUTER ON THE SECOND CPU BOARD. |
| | YOU CAN SEE: |
| | - TWO PAIRS OF SL-7-2128 (DUAL 128 BIT STATIC MOS SHIFT REGISTER) |
| | - ONE SINGLE SL-7-4016 (QUAD 16 BIT STATIC MOS SHIFT REGISTER) |
| | I ALSO NOTICED ON THE SAME BOARD THE 4 BIT ADDER CHIP - A 7483 BESIDES THE MEMORY. |
| | ALTHOUGH I HAVE NO SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM YET, IT'S PROBABLE, THAT THE 4 BIT ALU IS MADE WITH THIS ADDER. |
