About

Join me as I fumble around the innards of 40-year-old tech. Relax, put your feet up and watch me build and fix stuff. I especially like repairing vintage computers from the 1980's, along with upgrading them with period correct and modern technology. I don't always get it right, but I do have a lot of fun along the way!

Video Description

The tragic tale of a poor "ZX Spectrum Special Bespoke Charity Edition" which was never delivered to its intended owner. Also I build a cool Harlequin 128k on a very cool motherboard in a super cool translucent case. Its cool. And the first news about this years Commodore based charity event! https://www.justgiving.com/page/morefunmakingit With thanks the @TheRetroCollective for permission to use beautiful b-roll from the Befriending ZX Spectrums episode: https://youtu.be/PniNI7hcn3E Thank you to @PCBWay for supplying the motherboards And thanks to Chris for the correct revision board too!
