Out with the old… In with the new… a tidy Psion 5mx is now fully operational again! 👍

IYKYK

After looking at this Psion 5mx I went for a hoke for others. Kinda surprised me, were tucked away all over the place. Bottom left and bottom right were mine from new. I think the others were bought for parts or repair but were never looked at. I think I have a 3 somewhere also, with the wee screen?

Anybody got any luck on repairing screen ribbons on a Psion 5mx? I know it’s niche but worth a shot! :) going to try and tack a piece of magnet wire onto it? Can’t hurt surely?

Ugh! eBay sellers strike again. It's not ok to pack vintage hardware in grocery bags. Parts were missing because the box was busted open. 3D print parts, trim to fit, sand and color match. Not perfect, but better than a giant hole.

Imaging old drives using @bluescsi.com initiator mode. Works fantastically well. Really handy extra feature to an already brilliant device. Top job!

Hold onto your butts! #MARCHintosh

We'll be premiering our DSKY restoration video this Sat. 03/15 at 4pm Pacific Time youtu.be/vA0l_xvBmug . Spoiler: it works great.

Pro-tip, remove your Macintosh batteries! Else you might have something like this on your hands in a few years! #MARCHintosh

Meant to be refurbishing macs this month, but couldn’t resist sorting this amiga, didn’t like leaving it knowing the caps were actively leaking.

Stinky fishy cap change day on this Amiga. Got this one in early stage leakage, most so far are crusty but pads cleaned nicely. Made a good start so far but I think it’s another saved before it’s too late 👍

Potential #MARCHintosh project lined up. Hopefully will get some time to get a look at it.

Hi @nanoraptor.danamania.com - I built your minitower C64 concept to exhibit at VCF SoCal this weekend (crediting you for the concept and design of course). It's not fully assembled in this photo. I hope you like it!

#MARCHintosh time soon! Have some projects lined up, hopefully will have time to see them through

Macintosh battery liberation efforts continuing in earnest…

Spooky

Nothing comes close

Soldered up a mini spectrum based on the pi pico. Some job! 👍

Escaped the other doom scrolling site and attempting to create a new retro only home here, the old place has became so depressing unfortunately. Not spending anywhere near enough time with my machines/consoles either and that needs addressed, need headspace.

The eternal debate… 6581 or 8580?

Feels like a Lemmings day today. Trackball is excellent for this!

Gotta love a gas plasma display
