I recently picked up a gross Macintosh SE/30 on Facebook marketplace. I cleaned it up and recapped the logic board in part 1, so let's swap out the CRT, clean it up a little better, AND try to fix a few other things in part 2!

I recently picked up this Apple IIc that had "unknown issues" and was being sold as-is. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on and try to whip it back into shape!
Special thanks to the members of the Apple II Enthusiast Facebook group for helping me out with advice and tips on this restoration.

I wanted a decent NES clone that would allow me to test out NES games as I restore them, clean them, and add them to my collection. My original NES is getting up there in years and though I just restored it, I don't want to overuse it. The CLASSIQ N seemed right up my alley and even better, it's under $25! Let's check it out.

The Brother PDP-300 CJ Personal Desktop Publisher, such an interesting machine. Originally sold as a word processor, it's actually so much more. Let's have a look at it!

In this video series, we'll be restoring and upgrading a Macintosh SE Superdrive (FDHD). It's got a large chip on a top corner and I'm not even sure if the machine works yet. In part one, I'll test the SE to see if it runs, and crack it open to get to the bottom of things if it doesn't. After all, if it doesn't work, the cosmetic damage doesn't matter much.

It's our 100th video, so let's celebrate by taking a look at one of my favorite modern retro devices: THEC64 by Retro Games LTD. There are still lots of questions floating around about this machine and many of them involve doing more than simply playing games. The good news is that it does so much more than that.
Here are a few non-gaming things that you can do with your C64 Mini, Full Sized, and THEVIC20!

I recently found a tabletop game that interested me: Atari's Centipede! Let's unbox it, see if there are any extra goodies inside, and find out if it's a high-quality licensed game! This isn't our usual fare, but it's retro, it's a toy, and it certainly piqued my interest, so let's check it out!

So this is a used, like-new handheld retro gaming console that I bought from Amazon Warehouse. It was supposed to be in perfect condition, aside from damage to the original box. It was definitely *not* in like-new condition, so let's see what we need to do to restore it to its former... glory?

On this episode, we take a look at the the MIVO 150 e-mail appliance by CIDCO (Later renamed to the Earthlink Mailstation), which allowed people to send and receive electronic messages without the need of one of those pesky PCs. These were launched in 1999 in an exclusive deal with Amazon.com. Earthlink later bought CIDCO and renamed the MIVO to the Mailstation, continuing the service until 2011 when they finally stopped new signups.
If you still have your original device and signed up before 2011, Earthlink still allows you to use this quirky gadget, so some of them are likely still active to this day!

On this episode, let's check out LineageOS, which works on the Raspberry Pi 4. This OS does need some work, but it's coming along nicely and I love seeing Android 11 working on the Pi.
