First its about a modern take on Fighting Fantasy books.
Second its a brand new gaming system.

This one is important!

YouTube video by More Fun Fixing It PATREON - ZX Spectrum Full of Bees

What's that horrible noise?!?!
No its not Manic Miner menu music.
In this video I make a simple fix into a complicated journey. Which is pretty much my modus operandi.

Tape decks not my favourite thing to work on, but I'm getting satisfaction from watching you fight the fragile wiring 😁

+2 Rabbit hole side quest!

Apparently, the Datacorder in the +2 issue 1 has always been problematic. The one I'm using is in terrible shape too so to give it a fair shake I'm going to give it a once over, then poke at it with a scope. 🤔

A stack of boxes with Picogeese inside. They have a sticker on top describing the product

I’m bringing some well priced #PicoGUS units with me to put in consignment at #VCFwest on Saturday!

Can't lose what you never had! 😆

I was offered a set for review by a company I wont name. But they insisted that the review video was released on my main channel. I politely declined.
Maybe they will change their mind. They did look really good

Cheapo soldering tweezers with a European mains plug and the box they came in. It’s the "Entlötpinzette LP-48", available for very little money from various sources here in Germany.

Joining the #SolderingTweezers club with this ~12€ model. Not sure if they are going to help with SMD desoldering or if I’m going to burn the lab down with them. 😅

Soon!

The gloves will be going on for this one

YouTube video by More Fun Fixing It Rummaging in a Big Bag of Retro Castoffs

Is there anything better than delving into a big bag of Retro knickknacks? Name one thing better! Go on! I will wait here.
Also, what is a C64 Trippler?

I remember seeing these in the magazine ads and wondering if it would be better to upgrade my 81 or upgrade to this new fangled Spectrum thing

Thank you Johnny. Agree completely with all of the above.
But mostly, I just don't really care very much. Good luck to them and I hope the people buying get what they want.

Fantastic!

Part of the project is I'm going to try making my own version as a kikad noob 😆
