Which is the best desoldering tool for hobby level retro repairs?
I probably answer this and other questions like does a ZX Spectrum scream if you rip out it's chips?

Do you have an Amiga A500 and want to play with acceleration but don't want to permanently modify your machine (other than maybe one jumper)?

Just fit a PiStorm to the expansion connector using a Lazarustorm board then.

In my latest video I build a board. Not difficult.

The Roaming Spectrum has returned from its first trip around the world. It's having a brief layover in my workshop before setting off on further adventures!

So I do love S-100 bus early micros, I also like dead pan humour, so as you will no doubt have worked out, I was delighted to see this.

I teased DesTest VIC20 at VCF Montreal. Today I've released it. Take a look here: factorofmatt.com/destest-vic20
There are two binaries: one for use on a standard 8K cartridge and one as a replacement kernal.

I once again own the first computer I ever owned. Very happy to have this for the collection even though I never loved this thing. In fact, I hated it. I was so envious of my friends with Spectrums.

The stars have aligned and I'll be in Cambridgeshire for other reasons at the weekend so I'll be able to come along to this. I've not been able to attend any shows for nearly a year so it'll be good to natter! Any requests for what I should bring to show?

When should you give up on a repair?
How much work should you put into this thing we do?
Final part of a very interesting repair.

Hey! It's me! On the This Week in Retro podcast! You don't have to be bald to appear on the show, but it definitely helps. Full episode comes out this Saturday!

And whoops, I called PicoIDE PicoGUS in this clip.

I learned a few things along the way. And had a bit of fun doing it.
Mission accomplished.

Subject of my next More Fun Making It video.
I've learned a lot.
There's no promise that you will too, but it's a fun build video and fun is kinda in the channel name. I'm not Learn This Thing.
Can you tell I'm stuck in a car dealer waiting room?

HAPPY FRI-YAY!
Some cool people that have helped or inspired or just entertained their way into this project. Obvs everyone else is cool too but I got OCD with the text layout, so limited space y'all.
Go check em out if you're not already 👇👇👇

DOUBLE ZX81 repair!
Both showing the same fault, but does that mean it's the same problem? In such a simple machine probably yes.

Did anyone guess what was inside this Spectrum+ case?
I'll give you a clue.
It's worth a lot more than your regular ZX Spectrum+
