A #Commodore #VIC1020 at the enter.ch technology world in Switzerland.
It's basically a #VIC20 attached to an enclosure.
To the right you see two #VIC10 aka #MAX04 aka #MaxMachine.

Offtopic: In case you were wondering if the stories about Switzerland having the highest bunker-people ratio in the world were true.
This "newsstand kiosk" (defunct bunker), that I enter from the back entrance features 2 restaurants and 10 rooms for band practice.😜

A "MBO Teleball-Cassetten-System" console at the enter.ch technology world in Switzerland. Also known as Paladium Telegame.
It's a 1977 first generation console which has no CPU. Most of the logic sits in its cartridges.
Until recently I had never heard of this thing.

Remember last year(or so) I saved this #Macintosh from the trash.
I thought it was dead and for parts.
Well, as it turns out it had a rare #Apple IIe card inside.πŸ₯³
It's pretty much a whole IIe computer, like the one in the last picture, on a card.

Next up, the Smaky 324.
Apparently a Swiss made computer of the EPF Lausanne.
Sheesh, these things were pricey back then.

We went to the enter.ch technology world today in Derendingen, Switzerland and I'm gonna share some pictures here.
First up, the #Commodore 900 computer, an ultra rare prototype that never made it to production.
Don't know what that thing on top is though.πŸ€”πŸ˜

I'm trying to get our local museum to adopt by Telex machine that I inherited from my grandpa.
It uses punch tape and has a modem with a staggering 75 Baud (raise your hand if you know what a Baud is 😁).
Hopefully they'll take it, I want it to go to a good home.

Apologies for the lack of content these days. My employer is struggling with the current economy and is laying off people every few months. I'm fighting to get enough work and generate revenue so I can keep my job.
Don't know how much longer I can stay in overdrive mode.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I went thrifting yesterday and stumbled over this beautiful couch table that someone made out of an old #flipper glass.
At 35 Swiss bucks I just couldn't pass this up, so it came with me.
Looks good in my #mancave

Europe's oldest haunted house ride is currently operating at the autumn fun fair in #Basel #Switzerland.
It dates back to the 1930s and was lost for some years.
Thankfully brought back by a nonprofit organisation with crowdfunding.
That's some childhood memories right there.πŸ₯°

I went thrifting today and scored these. #Tekken 5 and #RidgeRacer were 5 bucks a pop and the #Matchbox Battle Kings vehicles were 4. They are a little damaged though. I wonder if I can fix them.πŸ€”

I remember being green with envy when the neighbours' boy had one of these and I "only" had a VIC-20. Still fond memories though of playing "slingshot" on it. Hours of fun.

I spotted this #IBM XT in the wild at one of my customers' meeting rooms.
Beautiful machine with two floppy drives and a tape drive.😍

Atari seems to make some good profit again, thanks to new backwards compatible consoles (2600+, 7800+) and their cartridge sales.
It would be insanely cool if you'd have a similar approach, or at least a kickstarter.πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

I love the C64 cartridge version and the fact that it runs on a C64GS.
You could probably make a ton of money by re-issuing cartridges for the C64.
Btw you still owe me some releases from back in the days (Vendetta, Last Ninja 3).πŸ˜…

I went thrifting today.
Here are some pictures of what I *didn't* buy.
Resisting the urge to buy that little crt TV for 45 quid was particularly hard.πŸ˜„
VHS tape for size comparison.

Isn't that the Italian "How can I forget those days" guy who:
β€’Claims to have some rights on the brand.
β€’Creates fake products to keep those rights.
β€’Sues everyone, which is really his only revenue stream.
