Update 2: As I get back into the swing of things & as I'm proud of this vid I decided to make it a Premiere for today, Saturday. Open the video to see your local premiere time and feel free to join me in the live chat as the vid goes public! Because nothing is unrefurbishable...

Update 1: This video will go public tomorrow but for you guys here is the (updated) link if you wish to bid on the signed cutting mat used in 2 years of vids! As mentioned in this video, 100% of the proceeds go to charity (St Jude's Children's Hospital). Thank you also for your ongoing patience - I'm starting work on a new video this weekend :-)

Dear Supporters

Back to BASICs here at the channel with more of what some of you have told me you love - those long-form restorations and repairs that I mostly started off the channel with. And this is one of my favourite projects so far; refurbing and trying to repair that recently donated Commodore 128. I hope you enjoy the ride!
