I got about 60% through building his bread board computer before I gave up due to ADHD, but it was super fun and it inspired me to learn how to solder.

I watched the videos as they came out but I could not imagine marathoning it. It's impressive you got through 60% of those videos without stopping!

Dip Viscous posted:What is the actual name of that rubbery coating that tons of turn of the century electronics used and always breaks down over the years into a sticky mess? Or do rubbery coatings still do that and I just don't have anything with it that's old enough? https://www.nextel-coating.com/?lang=en but that is more of a type of paint you can use rather than something that’s probably injection molded. evobatman posted:What is a "radio-cassette player", and what is "a 60W output"? I want you to know I appreciated this joke. As for using old terminology - you still get headlines like “Trump lies caught on tape” for either audio or video and jesus we’ve not been using tape for this poo poo since the late 90s.

Now I’m wanting a rotary phone I can stick a window rolling handle onto, start convincing zoomers thats how they really were and talk about “rolling down” folks with my phone. I dont have an endgame here

That South Australian C64 case has come up pretty well there, I know it was in pretty rough shape when I gave it to you. It wasn’t in any better shape when I got it, I didn’t do anything with it for fear of making it worse. I’ve finally gotten my tech relic room set up and I’m planning to finally sort out the garage this weekend. Pics incoming when I get home from work. Next I’m planning to clean up my Apple IIc and give it a good run.

Yeah, I like how everything is self-contained. And this one’s not in bad shape considering I recovered it from a primary school’s junk hoard.
