Been lurking for a few days, reading some of the excellent posts - especially in the conservation/restoration forum, and thought I'd
better pop my head round the door, and say "Hi!"
I don't play many games, instead preferring the habit of restoration, and repairing - it gives me a sense of pleasure to take something
that is essentially broken, and carefully restore it to its former glory, and breathe some life into it. Not saying Im all that good at it,
but I haven't fried anything (or me) yet
I love tinkering with all reto/vintage machines, but especially 8-bit computers from the 1980s (my teenage years), recent fixes include
a 1983 C64, BBC Micro B, and my current favorite (albeit from the 16-bit era), an Atari 1040STe. Still got a little backlog of repairs,
just trying to find some time - Philips Videopac 7000 (Magnavox Odyssey 2), SNES (black screen - possibly not the connector), and
a Prinztronic Videosport 800 (Colour!) from 1978 just needing a good clean.
Anyway, stop waffling now....
Have a nice day
