Well, when terminals are losing wires with basic handling, I think it's time to order a bag of 0.110 terminals and recirmp everything. Might be why these are not working? #arcade #retrogaming #retrorepair #midway

Old battery

Super Mario Land 2 title screen

We have a working save!

Ordered a Super Mario Land 2 off of eBay that had a dry battery (and wasn’t disclosed despite supposedly being “tested” - that’s a pet peeve for another day). That said, my novice soldering skills were sufficient and SML2 now saves properly! #retrogaming #retrorepair #mario #gameboy #nintendo

Why Recapping Isn’t Always the Cure: And Amiga 1200 Repair Story I often see on places such as Facebook that an Amiga owner will show a fault they have with their machine, and the immediate response you’ll see is “recap it”. Now, I’m not saying that recapping isn’t...

“Recap it!” isn’t always the cure.
A badly recapped Amiga 1200 came across my bench, and what I found might surprise you.

I've just spent 35 euro (on an Irish ads site) on an absolutely battered 48k ZX Spectrum which is probably as dead as a door nail. The intention is to fix it. No idea who I'm trying to kid, I don't know my arse from my elbow with circuit boards. #zxspectrum #retrorepair #clueless
