Someone sent me some busted Microvisions for me to fix up. The very first handheld game system with interchangeable game Cartridges.
I'd never seen one before, but now they're good as new!

I turned into a repair shop so gradually I didn't even notice...

New membrane and replacement screws are now fitted. From ebay junk to fully functional good for another 40 years #48k #retrorepairs

Wow!
Estoy checando un #nintendo #DSiXL y no me esperaba tanta porquería

It may be dead but at least it looks pretty in death. #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #nintendorepairs

I’ll be doing a final video on this probably this weekend so stay tuned…

Here's a heart-shaped tape drive belt for you 😄. Wanted to fix a #Datassette for a friend quickly, so I replaced the belt and tried to align the azimut, but as it turns out, this little fella seems to have problems transmitting data reliably. I've never seen this before, but sometimes it will read something (as the align tool indicates to me onscreen), but then again it will not output any signals the next time I turn it on, although the drive is working, the spools are spinning and so on. After a few tries, it works again - until it doesn't. Impossible to align and test it in that condition. Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing it?

Well, it has been a while. Quick update. I'm going to work through the last video on the #nintendo64 repair project, but it will be ending on a sad note. Despite a new, genuine cart slot, it is still not loading most carts. I'll put it in its new shell but I'm not planning on investing more time or money repairing it. This #generativeai image will make up the title card for that video when I get around to posting it. #retrorepairs #retrogaming

Today I'm going to refurbish the second of three #C64 that are still waiting for repair. When I got this one, it was quite dirty and with permanent marker text on the back. It was sold as defective because it showed no picture, which I could already fix by replacing the VIC. I also already cleaned the case, and fully disassembled and cleaned the keyboard. (Photo shows the "before" state, of course. 😉​ )

Next step: Recapping, and replacing the 7805 with a DC/DC converter.

It lives! It's now displaying composite video AND it's running off a single 12VDC supply instead of the whacko 15VAC/8VAC it was supplied with.

Well, this should be interesting....

I still have three #C64 that are waiting for repair. Today is a holiday here, and since my mancave is currently in a mess anyway, let's refurbish them (or at least one of them).

I'm very proud of this video. Not only do I manage to organise myself and talk about 16 different things, I somehow organised 16 other youtubers to help me do it! Of course some of them got completely carried away!

A good friend of mine, Steven, was kind enough to get me a desoldering station after my last video. I’ve also found a replacement cart connector for the Nintendo 64. With the new gear I’m planning on setting up a new workbench that isn’t my main desk so I’m more inclined to do work. Hopefully I’ll have it ready this weekend and I can finally make progress on the N64 #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #retrogaming

Here’s where things go wrong. My attempt at installing the RGB mod in my old Nintendo 64. https://youtu.be/z06qBGxiL0M #nintendo64 #nintendo #retrorepairs #retrogaming

I hate soldering. This better work. #shakesfist #retrorepairs #nintendo64

Since doing tech on my channel, I’ve had an overhead camera to get a view in on what I’m working on. I decided recently to change from an old Hard Drive camcorder to my old S21 Ultra. Well, that lasted 1 filming. Sure the S21 has a better camera but I hate it. It’s overly complex for my needs and I can’t see the screen. I’m going back to the camcorder, even if it is ancient. #contentcreator #retrorepairs #setups #videorecording

Parts! RGB mod and new GameCube style stick for the Nintendo 64. #retrorepairs #retrogaming

Here's the video of me tearing down my old childhood Nintendo 64. Haven't gotten back to assembling it as I'm keen to install an RGB mod now I know it is all working fine. Maybe even go with a translucent case. Let me know what you think, and suggest any mods you think I should go with. #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #retrogaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdubm7e3uqU
