Recycled a couple of old laptop panels as retro-computer test screens today https://t.co/9zH2NZsAue

@CommodoreStuff No, I have a breadbin already. It will get cleaned and fixed (if needed). Then added to the collection and games played :)

Look what arrived in the post today #c64 #RETROGAMING #retrocomputing

Mint condition... But does it turn on

YOU BROKE @PayPal!
The support for @MarkFixesStuff was so great that you hit the limit of what PayPal allows in a pot (£20k!!)
As a result a new link has been setup by @TheMMD_ at https://t.co/jqNRLSHIns
I'm emotional watching this, Marks mind must be blown

[The Cave @VisitTheCave]

This is devastating.

Quick Thursday night project to fix the buttons on an #Atari 2600 jr. I used smd pushbuttons in the end, small enough to go under the caps no problem #RETROGAMING #retrocomputer... Played Pacman to celebrate

[BitWrangler uk @Bitwrangleruk]

Today's project, fixed the colours on my #Atari 2600 jr by replacing the variable resistor #RETROGAMING #RetroComputing #retroconsole #eletronics

[BitWrangler uk @Bitwrangleruk]

Tonight's mini project.. Adding a new composite out socket to an #atari 2600 jr... Now where to put the audio sockets ?

[BitWrangler uk @Bitwrangleruk]

I could crush a grape... The really crusty #atari 2600 jnr is working after a wash and scrub, recap and composite mod #RETROGAMING #retrogames #electronics #recycle

[BitWrangler uk @Bitwrangleruk]

That should be*testing... Stupid autocorrect

[BitWrangler uk @Bitwrangleruk]

Look at all those lovely cleaned joysticks ;). I was just reading honest #RETROGAMING #retrogamer #Atari

[BitWrangler uk @Bitwrangleruk]

Latest #atari 2600 jr and joystick haul had a good wash and hanging out to dry. Any top tips for getting rid of the 30+ year 'loft/garage' smell? #RETROGAMING #retroconsole

Soldered a couple of Diag64 carts yesterday. Much easier to use for diagnostics than my current Versa64 carts
