Perfect timing as I just finished your sad last video on the power supply!

Haha, that’s a perfect setup to watch videos about elderly electronics on! Nice! :D

Yes! I watched your video before I placed the bet on this one. So you are at least partially to blame for this purchase. ;) Thanks for putting all the work into restoring and calibrating the thing, super helpful! Hope I manage to follow your instructions and make mine work as well as yours! :)

That’s the plan! 😅

I already downloaded the schematics and service manual and there’s a video on YT about how to calibrate it properly. Should be doable, at least I have high hopes! (And of course I’m aware that it’s kind of obsolete these days but it was too inexpensive and interesting to pass up)… :D

A Tonhöhen-Schwankungsmesser 104 with two analog meters labled "drift" and "flutter" and a few buttons and connections on the front.

I watched too many Techmoan videos lately and might have acquired an ancient Tonhöhenschwankungsmesser in unknown condition to restore and use. (Picture from seller, it’s not here yet.)

"eating around the table" scene from Alien. you know what happens next.

all the crew members have exited the vehicle, feeling well, and are even eating a little food.

if you don't hear music in your heart maybe you gotta open the configuration program to randomly try switching music card options until it comes through

That’s true. Probably they’re nowhere near as effectively shielded as in the old days.

I wonder if maybe car computers might survive a scenario like that relatively well because cars make pretty good faraday‘s cages if i remember correctly. I don’t really want to find out though. Hope we‘re all going to be fine. :/

That is so cool! 😎 😃

Maybe! ;) #NoSpoilers

Screenshot of Amiga Test Kit reporting 18MB of RAM in the Amiga 3000T (which is the maximum amount you can fit on the mainboard without any expansion cards).

RAM crisis? Not for me! I have 18MB! #Amiga3000T #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

A little plastic bowl filled with desoldered old capacitors of various sizes and some cotton buds and component lead clippings.

Capacitorps. #InTheLabDoingStuff

Oh, I‘m going to have to give that stuff a listen! Sounds like it’s right up my alley! Thanks! :D

Oh, and Slint! Not sure if the genre nominally existed yet when they recorded their stuff but they are definitely one of the defining bands of the whole thing.

Noice! :D

Angine de Poitrine - Sherpa (chiptune / commodore 64 cover - SID6581) YouTube video by Gabriel Champagne

YES!

Also: Q and not U (a bit more on the pop side but the early stuff is heavily math rock adjacent). One of my favorite bands of all time.

I used to listen to a lot of Valina, an Austrian math rock band. Shellac (Steve Albini‘s band) is great. North of America, Don Caballero. The genre boundaries are relatively fuzzy. I‘d also consider Mogwai and Les Savy Fav math rock-y. All stuff I listened to in the early 2000s. :)

Didn’t realize I missed math rock so much. #AngineDePoitrine

Self-made RCA Audio cable on my workbench with black Amphenol plugs and red headshrink over two of them to indicate the right channel connectors.

Listening to #AngineDePoitrine (!) while soldering some cables for my Hifi. I’ve settled for Amphenol ACPR RCA plugs and Sommer Cable Onyx as my go-tos for non-audiophile-bs high quality. (Didn’t have any proper colored plugs left so red heatshrink tubing is going to have to do.) #InTheLabDoingStuff

That's right! We destroyed the oldschool demo compo with my most advanced 6502 code to date. This is really running in a stock Atari 2600 with no expansions! (except 32k ROM bank switching)

Haha, the struggle was real!

True! 😅

If you are not watching the stream that is going now, what is wrong with you? :)

Very true. It’s not always that obvious, unfortunately! :D
