So my custom labels need work still, theyre rubbing off too easily. BUT! The Charizard SP lives! Stock screen for now but IPS on the way! #retro #gameboy #nintendo #pokemon #retrorepair

Tried the TV setting and it works. But no analogue signals in the air anymore, so can't test. But now that I turned on the #crt I am afraid of touching shit on the inside :) #boombox #retrorepair

Got it working again! 10 Quid we'll spent! There was 1 loose wire inside and the 220V socket was stuck (yes, stuck. will explain later). All wires seem brittle and wimpy, will need to replace them. Volume knob need some attention as sound drops outs, one of the speakers too. #boombox #retrorepair

Well, when terminals are losing wires with basic handling, I think it's time to order a bag of 0.110 terminals and recirmp everything. Might be why these are not working? #arcade #retrogaming #retrorepair #midway

Ordered a Super Mario Land 2 off of eBay that had a dry battery (and wasn’t disclosed despite supposedly being “tested” - that’s a pet peeve for another day). That said, my novice soldering skills were sufficient and SML2 now saves properly! #retrogaming #retrorepair #mario #gameboy #nintendo

Why Recapping Isn’t Always the Cure: And Amiga 1200 Repair Story I often see on places such as Facebook that an Amiga owner will show a fault they have with their machine, and the immediate response you’ll see is “recap it”. Now, I’m not saying that recapping isn’t...

“Recap it!” isn’t always the cure.
A badly recapped Amiga 1200 came across my bench, and what I found might surprise you.

I've just spent 35 euro (on an Irish ads site) on an absolutely battered 48k ZX Spectrum which is probably as dead as a door nail. The intention is to fix it. No idea who I'm trying to kid, I don't know my arse from my elbow with circuit boards. #zxspectrum #retrorepair #clueless
