At the end of January, I pre-ordered my first 3D printer, an Anycubic Kobra X, and used the waiting time to look for an open-source (or free for non-commercial use) CAD application, as well as ordering a few spools of filament.

This article showcases some of the work I have done on various Sinclair ZX Spectrum computers.

I bought this computer from the son of a retired dealer and repairman at my usual market in November 2011.

This article covers all three of the 3.5″ external floppy drives produced by Commodore for the Amiga line of computers.

A few years ago, I experienced a water leak in my basement after several consecutive days of heavy rain.

As I’m now short on space for all my retro stuff, I’m focusing on maintaining and repairing what I already have or looking for small items.

This console, with a few games, cost me 50,000 Lire in 1998 (before the Euro), which is about 36€ or 41$ today.

I was familiar with a couple of variants of this console: the original Japanese PC Engine from 1987 and the American version from 1989 called TurboGrafx-16.

I received the two computers as a gift from Enrico S. in 2011.

I have a lot of non working Macintosh computers, and they’ve been sitting on the shelves of my lab room and cellar for too much time; since I’m out of space for “new” computers at the moment, I decided that I must focus on repairing what I got.
