Here are some photos from my latest repair project: the Olivetti PC 128! Recap done, broken switches fixed and the cassette deck is back in shape!🎉💾

This Olivetti PC128 definitely needed some general cleaning! (and a recap just to be safe) I’m glad the power switch issue was only mechanical and the tape deck belt was probably just loose from age.

The Commodore 128 was an amazing computer with 128KB of RAM and dual CPUs… but I really love it for its C64 mode!

This Commodore 128 came in for repair and guess what I found inside? 🤯 Broken caps, scratched traces and a whole lot of dust!

Finally got my Bambu Lab X1 Carbon back in action! The summer heat caused a filament mess that bent the nozzle and broke the thermistor, but after some repairs it’s printing perfectly again!

Fixing this Fenner SPC-800 wasn’t easy! Do you still have your first MSX, or did you have to part with it?

I took a chance on four untested MSX computers from eBay to see if they still work… let’s just say things didn’t go exactly as planned: dead CPUs, broken keyboards and faulty PSUs. Not exactly an easy ride!🔧😅

I saved my mom’s Dreamcast! She bought it in Japan years ago and gave it to me to fix… now I’m hoping she’ll let me keep it since I brought it back to life 😁

I absolutely love my 3D-printed Kirby screw container, I like the idea of Kirby 'eating' my screws! Now I’m thinking… what other characters could make fun containers? Pac-Man, maybe?👾

I finally tried the Prusa Core One! I’ve been wanting to test it for a long time. Gotta say, it did an awesome job printing the HDMI connector support. Which Prusa printer do you have?🛠️

This PS2 HDMI Mod Just Won’t Work!
Fixing the laser, 3D modeling and tiny damaged pins made it tough. Unfortunately, the screen is mostly green. Any tips to get it working? Let me know!
