I *think* I have finally found and repaired all of the bad traces / pads on @iiidiy.bsky.social ‘s Cursed LC575. Time to start putting chips back on. Hoping for a #marchintosh miracle!

The slim, sleek LC series slid into family homes and hearts with a low-cost entry point into color computing. The last of the lovable wedge-Macs is the LC475. Today, we try to give my uncle's old LC475 a new lease on life! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljbp... #VintageComputers #RetroComputers #LC475

The Pentium Overdrive Processor (PODP) was designed to give 486 computers a new lease on life… This one can’t though, as it has one broken and many bent pins. Let’s fix it and explore this upgrade for 25MHz systems tonight, live starting at 9PM EST! www.youtube.com/live/G9--Pm5...

First main channel episode in a while... Amiga Meanwell power supply conversion! I did a few of these in the charity event but didnt document the process. So this is putting that right!

Reposting for the weekend crowd! This video is insightful, well-researched, funny, masterfully narrated, and has cameos from a few lovely people in the retro Mac universe. It's amazing! Made by a "small channel", it needs more views & shares to get YT algorithm juice! #VintageMac #RetroComputing

My next video will be out in early Dec. In the meantime I want to share some of my "old" work on here, so people can get to know me. First: The 20th Anniversary Mac! One of my favourite and highest-effort videos, with a heavier focus on narrative vs restoration youtu.be/mabH-YB6kn4 #vintagemac #TAM

Since activity here is picking up, here’s my intro: I do #vintageMac and #vintagePC repairs, restorations, and janky modding on my Saturday noon eastern streams. I work on random other electronics as well. I like soldering, but my skills are questionable. youtube.com/@bigbadbench

Hello! I make restoration videos, merging my interest in film, old technology, and craftsmanship. If you like retro computing, 90s tech & culture, meticulous restorations, and geeking-out about cinematography, well then you're my type of nerd! #RetroComputing #VintageApple #VintageMac #1990s
