You may have noticed my latest C64 repairs have not all gone to plan. So I asked a couple of very generous pals in @adriansdigitalbasement.com and @theretrochannel.bsky.social to lend a hand.

I got to take part in the big red arrow club's christmas quiz this year. It was a lot of fun, Andy (HBR) did a cracking job organising things, with Dave from This Week in Retro as the host giving us all a good laugh.

In this video I unbox a massive donation of vintage computers from a viewer named Nigel who wanted to ensure his collection found a good home rather than ending up as e-waste. From a fully upgraded BBC Micro to a tricked-out Amiga 600, this is the biggest donation the channel has ever seen.

RE:Enthused has been running for 10 years, in that time i've made the first videos on several machines, cleared up bad information, helped improve emulation, made open-source parts and quit once
I came back because of the people who watch my videos, thanks to all of you.

I knew Ben through fleeting moments in my short time in this community where I needed his services for various projects. He was always friendly and helpful.
Before that I knew him through his YouTube channel where I learned a lot about Spectrum repairs and enjoyed his enthusiasm.
Sad loss. Too young

Just heard the most awful news that Ben Versteeg (owner of bytedelight.com) has passed away.

I love rummaging around in jumble sales for bargains. Make that jumble sale happen in a superb computer museum with loads of friends from the community and fill it with stacks of super cheap (for the most part) vintage computer and retro gaming bargains and I am as happy as Larry.

Another C64 with leaking cap damage. This one a more rare board. Prepare yourself for lots of scraping traces and nasty green goo.

Need to make a few changes and this video explains why and what they are.
Nothing dramatic happening, but it might be interesting to anyone that follows my channels.
