My normal face is goofy enough, no need to exaggerate :)

I did not know that. I got there in the end by using a scientific approach to show how the process works and hopefully quell all the myths surrounding it.

The truth about Retr0brite – busting myths with science… One of the situations we are often faced with when restoring an old computer is a yellowed plastic case. You have probably heard of Retr0Brite, few things in the retro community have caused as much controversy, rampant speculation and...

Hello everyone, We have received the first production samples of the new DB23 hoods. The matte black color looks great and the hood fits nicely on the new connectors as well. Not being a fan on the tiny screws used on DSub connectors I am very happy to report that the thumbscrews are easy to...

I tried one of those little ones while some are better than others they not the tool for me. The digital zoom on the document camera still had more range but there is no point in zooming in more when I could see the 0201 parts. It also has a much larger working area and does not require the...

I was not sure if this forum was exactly the right place for this topic but the document camera I am showing in this video is really a benefit to any of us trying to work on old computers with equally old eyes. I was in fact surprised by how well it works. In this this video we take a look at...

Send me a PM with your contact information so I can check on your order. I will need to know your name, shipping address, and email used to place order so I can look order up. Multiple project update emails were sent and tracking emails were sent automatically when shipped but sometimes spam...

Happy 2021 everyone! I still have brass pinion gears available.

Happy 2021! I still have these newly manufactured, from original tooling, 5 pin square DIN connectors available.

Still have these available and Happy 2021!

Still have these available and Happy 2021!

A quick update on the DB23 hood project. The tooling is being manufactured now and we expect samples the first part of February. Here is a quick screen shot of the 3D model of hood and connector. Of course, the hood will be black, but this grey color comes out better in the model. Preorder...

Still available.
