Currently playing Jungle Joe (2022) by Vector5 Games. It’s an addictive and charming little puzzle game and well worth a look if you’ve not played it. #Commodore64 #C64

A viewer found this 286 motherboard in a thrift shop. I had been converted into a clock by drilling a hole right through the board.
Thrift store clock Removed clock, install a socket into the board where the hole was. Close up of the replacement socket and IC Many traces were broken.

Quite a few of you have downloaded 'Primavera'. Firstly, thank you!
I've just re-recorded and replaced the last track 'Kenopsia'. Please don't forget to download. I'm also away from home with my portable setup. I may re-record it again in future
