Hello!
This was a spontaneous project that worked out well and quickly in between other projects. I've been meaning to repair this Model 100 for years now and had never got around to it. I had ordered parts for it along with caps for repairing an IBM 5154, well the IBM ended up needing anot...

Hello!
This was supposed to be a quick and simple video I recorded at home over a couple of days after some delays on my other projects but it completely spiraled out of control with many small issues and took up the entirety of the time from the last video until now.

Hello!
There were a lot of requests to make a video out of upgrading my server with the new motherboard I was sent. Since I wanted to get that done sooner than later, here we are!
If you missed the recent mail video, I was sent a new motherboard for my server that would give me muc...
Hello!
This is all over the place in some ways. I made this more about the journey than the destination this time because of the unique opportunity available. I was sent a VT100 compatible terminal, that's CRT was broken in shipping. This gave me the chance to take a look at all the parts ...
Hello!
I wanted to do a supporter update while working on some things (literally in this case) and give you some info on what's coming up soon. For the first time in a while I actually have a clear plan ahead for the next several videos which hasn't happened in so long it feels really weir...
Hello!
I had a plan for this week's video...but it had a plan to defeat me. So I decided to take this chance to record the next mail video! There were a lot of things sent in that I'm really grateful for that are going to be really awesome to use in the future!
Mail videos are prett...
Hello!
This video was recorded nearly three years ago, but I had family stuff to take care of last week and my plans for a simple video this week...weren't as simple as I had hoped. So I decided to try and finish an old video project and after two days of editing...I've decided to just del...
Hello!
This one was a really fast turnaround for me after I first started this one on Saturday. I wanted to help support the cause of Ross Scott's https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ and making videos to draw ...
Hello!
This video is one I've been planning in the back of my head for a while now and I needed something to buy me a little more time with my ongoing GBA project. After some more success in researching it I was finally ready to tackle my Mouse Systems PC Mouse with an IBM XT PC! I've been...
Hello,
So this video was originally going to be a test edit and put up on the second channel but I've decided to "promote" it to the main channel to give me some more time on a bigger project.
This is the last terminal I got with the S-100 hardware I bought a while ago that I haven'...
Hello,
I wanted to talk somewhat about what's been going on with me and how I'm getting back into my video production routine.
As far as the next video, I'm going to edit some footage of working on the Visual 200 Terminal I've been refurbishing on stream but I ran into a last minute...
I am having a family medical emergency happening right now and I will not be able to make any progress on anything for the next week.

Hello!
This is a big video, I've been working to this one really since I got the S-100 computers in 2022 but it really kicked up a gear when I get the HP Series 200 machine and had to deal with the TD0 files the HP Museum had for it. Floppy disks vary in how they hold data for different sy...
Hello!
I wanted to do an update on stuff in the background and on some of what I've had going on recently.

Hello!
In this one I'm taking a look at a Kaypro IV I recently got! I was really interested in getting it up and running because it's probably the most "normal" CP/M computer I have now. Making the computer work was mostly uneventful, but getting software onto these systems is always a cho...
Hello...again.
So I got enough comments and discussion about the drives and belts on the Xerox that I decided to look into them one more time and try just swapping out the drives. The results were...surprising to say the least.
This is a somewhat annoying situation to be in with the...
Hello!
I really didn't want to get behind on videos after missing a release recently and pushed to get this one done quick enough to get back on schedule. This project is the reason for that delay though and I think you'll see why as it goes on. The IBM Wheelwrite...
Hello,
This video became ready sooner than I expected because I was able to start working with someone to get help editing! So this video was mostly edited by Jimi! I'm quite happy with how it turned out, with my workflow I still have to give it a final pass myself before it's done but I'm ho...
Hello! Progress on the next video hasn't been amazing. I covered most of this in the video but have some more succinct thoughts that I didn't express well off the cuff.
I've basically not had internet at home for the last week due to issues on my ISP's side and my intended projec...

Hello!
It's time for a mail video! It's been a long time since I have done one of these since I refocused how I'm making videos on the channel. But a closeout video at the end of the year opening everything felt like the perfect way to do this.
I'm hoping to get a supporter up...
Hello!
This video was a bit spontaneous and I've been planning on trying to take it a little easier this month after the last few videos ended up being monsters. This was supposed to be an off the cuff video but I ended up doing so much research that it just made sense to end up scri...
Hello! This is the followup to the last video on preserving Laserdiscs and covers how to work with the capture files. I'm extra glad I ended up splitting up this video topic because this one is really technically dense and I don't think the majority of people who may have been interested in the l...

Hello!
This video kind of snuck up on me. I got a Domesday Duplicator and it was very interesting but very complicated. And as I was testing it I realized I was kind of "stuck" on it because I needed to keep all of my raw rips until I finished the video. So this one forced...
Hello! This video didn't end up being the easy slam dunk I thought it would be but at least I was able to get it done a little early. In this one I go through the process of replacing an LCD panel in a TRS-80 Pocket Computer using a brand new part! It tickles me to think that this is...
Hello! It's been a little while since I've done one of these videos and I wanted to get one out sooner after finishing the 3.5in floppy video to kind of talk about that whole process. That video got so much bigger than I planned and had a bunch of different mini-projects the lead up to it. I also...

This is another instance of this not being the video I set out to make. This was going to be a lame repair video about the 9121. But I thought "huh, it's be pretty cool to tease the video as being about the first 3.5in floppy drive in the US" because I assumed that the Sony SMC-70 wa...
Why? Well, there are a few reasons this video has come into existence. I was recently given this Talk With Me Barbie doll that is designed to interface with 90s computers and be reprogrammed to say different things. So it was already tangentially related to things I normally cover. Then ...

Hello again! This one took a bit more at the end than I expected to get done but here it is, a video on the HP 7475A I got a while back in the big HP lot! This was a while in the making to get it repaired, twice, and figure out some ways to really show it off the best I can. This is one of those ...

I'm still working on the next proper video, but I got it all filmed and went to record this months printout only to find the ribbon in the printer I was going to use was completely dry and I didn't have a replacement.
So for giggles, I tried dabbing a little isopropanol on the ribbon as it...
Hello, I've been working on a bunch of background stuff again and I'm finally starting to reap some of the rewards of my new server setup with how it can help be organize and plan projects! This is s look at some of that as well as a few other things like continued research on the 501c3 potential...
