I picked up a Retro Chip Tester Pro kit from J&M Consulting (https://AmericanRetro.shop) while at VCF East. Considering I have repair projects that will likely need chips to be tested, and two livestreams wasn't enough to finish it, let's take a third livestream to finish the job! (The instructions did say to allow 4-6 hours, and that didn't include any interactive livestream overhead. So if I had built this off-stream allowing myself the same amount of time, I would probably be done.)
Will I finish by the end of the stream? How many components will fall out during the night? And will I have to pull out Clarus the Desoldering Station? You'll have to watch to find out!

YouTube started having ingest issues while I was doing the Wheel of Regrets! segment. I had to resume on a second stream: https://youtube.com/live/7E2_yCszJgg

Adam sent me an Apple ][+ that needs repairs, and COMPUTER is suffering from bad 74LS-series chips. Can I fix both computers using eBay (the place where I buy things I later regret)? Maybe. But the more important question is, Will there be regrets along the way?
Will COMPUTER say COMPUTER again? Will the Apple ][+ say APPLE ][ again? Will all the parts even arrive in time for this stream? Youll have to watch to find out!
