Wow, is it even possible

It´s a beauty, I sold my A3000 in the 90:s and have always regretted it.

Made a DIY soldering fume extractor, a bit of a hack but works great.

I had some of their kits in the 70:s bought here in Sweden. I remember a specific one where the car had skis attached to the roof.

Wow, nice setup. Looks like one of mine 😀

Wow, it's beautiful

I replaced sticks in four joycons with stickdrift this evening, quite easy to do but it requires a steady hand and good eyesight, I don’t have any of that anymore 🤪

I use an old pc psu to power the floppy when I use the Greaseweazel, works perfectly fine but there is an awful mess of cables.

Are you sure he is not sittning in her lap?

Added a PicoMem-card to my Amstrad PC1640, and it worked perfectly. This is a perfect replacement for the faulty harddrive in the machine. Now i only need to find an original Amstrad mouse for the system.

Some classic ZZ Top on the turntable this evening.

Spent some time fixing up this old Scantic (Luxor) stereo system. The usual maintainence, new belt for the turntable, some new lightbulbs and a lot of contact cleaning spray in the switches and pots. I also had to replace two of the speaker elements since they were long gone.

Found some vinyls at a second hand store that usually only has junk, you can argue if this is quality records but I have some great memories associated with them.

I’ve started to pick up small flat screens when I find them on second hand stores, this one also have all the nice inputs for retro. Right now the prices for these screens are quite inexpensive but I guess they will be more and more uncommon as time goes by. This one cost me 5€

New stuff from aliexpress for the workbench

Greaseweazle is truly a fantastic piece of hardware. I just managed to write original floppy’s for my Amstrad pc1640 so now I can access bios and also explore GEM that was included with the machine

Added a new toy to my workbench, haven’t used one since school almost 30 years ago. Hopefully it will help me fix the mountain of half working stuff I have laying around 😃

Yeah, they are really super nice. Got one number 2 and one number 3 and a bunch of those carousel ones that can store cassettes with or without case. Those are also great for storing lose master system cartridges.

When I bought my A3000 new in the 90s I just barely had the money to get the least equipped version, I think it came with a 52Mb scsi drive. Something went “wrong” and I got 120Mb instead for the same price, it was like winning the lottery.

After many years away from the living room the turntable made it back. Nice to be able to listen to music as it is supposed to be listened.

Small 3d printed tools for the electronics workbench

Printed som stands for pc expansion cards to keep it nice and tidy.

Found two storage cases containing floppys at a second hand store that probably came together with a magazine in the 80:s, payed about 7 euros for the lot. Now I need to get my old amstrad pc1640 running to check them out.

Finally printed a case for my gbs control and updated it to the latest version.
