I collect all generations of game consoles from Pong to PS5. I’m a huge fan of vintage computers, Heathkit products, and electronics in general. I’m also interested in board games TTRPGs, space tech, Star Wars, and classic Sci-fi. A vintage nerd!

Heathkit H8

Heathkit H8

After months of tinkering, the full Heathkit H8 computer is up and running with HDOS 2.0. It’s been a fun restoration. #retrocomputing #heathkit

This poor Heathkit 3100 electronics experimenter got destroyed in shipping. The heavy transformer broke loose and acted like a wrecking ball. I wonder if it is ABS plastic. Maybe I can acetone fuse it? #heathkit #retrocomputing #electronics

Still working on the H17 disk drake unit for the Heathkit H8. I hope to have the full system fully restored soon. #retrocomputing #heathkit

What a fun find. This Toshiba 1100+ is like one I had at work in the very early 90s. It was already old then, lol. This one is running perfect, and it even holds a charge for an hour or so. Super happy to find one! #retrocomputing
