You may have noticed my latest C64 repairs have not all gone to plan. So I asked a couple of very generous pals in @adriansdigitalbasement.com and @theretrochannel.bsky.social to lend a hand.
I picked their brains clean!

Did anyone guess what was inside this Spectrum+ case?
I'll give you a clue.
It's worth a lot more than your regular ZX Spectrum+

There is something very special hiding in this ZX Spectrum+ case. Its also broken, which in my eyes just makes it more special and interesting!

I catch myself worrying that I'm giving my Patreon supporters value for money.
Last year I released 10 More Fun Making It videos.
I also released 124 More Fun Fixing It videos...
Pretty sure I should stop worrying so much.

Happy New Year, y‘all. As long as I am alone at home, the Ultimate 64 will stay in the living room. Just did a joystick cord repair with UV activated glue. The stuff is as good as Lee @morefunmakingit.bsky.social said in his video. Glad, that I have mine for two or three months now in use.

Sad to say I wont be releasing a video this Saturday. With Christmas and my birthday and that pesky NYE thing all taking up a huge amount of my time I have fallen behind.
I will hopefully catch up over the next week and get back ahead.

I think this could be a big deal in the fight against degrading plastics. There are all kinds of ideas being dreamed up since I told people about this stuff. Can you think of a way it can be used?

I got to take part in the big red arrow club's christmas quiz this year. It was a lot of fun, Andy (HBR) did a cracking job organising things, with Dave from This Week in Retro as the host giving us all a good laugh.

In this video I unbox a massive donation of vintage computers from a viewer named Nigel who wanted to ensure his collection found a good home rather than ending up as e-waste. From a fully upgraded BBC Micro to a tricked-out Amiga 600, this is the biggest donation the channel has ever seen.

I knew Ben through fleeting moments in my short time in this community where I needed his services for various projects. He was always friendly and helpful.
Before that I knew him through his YouTube channel where I learned a lot about Spectrum repairs and enjoyed his enthusiasm.
Sad loss. Too young

I love rummaging around in jumble sales for bargains. Make that jumble sale happen in a superb computer museum with loads of friends from the community and fill it with stacks of super cheap (for the most part) vintage computer and retro gaming bargains and I am as happy as Larry.
