I love to tinker with a hardware, which used to be dead for many years. If you are interested, take a look at my YT channel.

The music in my videos are tracks explicitly made for my channel by Sasha. Now I'm happy to announce that he makes them publicly available. If you enjoy his work, feel free to sponsor him a coffee buying the tracks you like. More tracks will follow under:

I usually like Lenovo notebooks, but in this case I was massively disappointed to be honest:

Hey guys, sorry for the long pause. I have a lot of work, so the hobby has to step back a little bit. Nonetheless I found some time to tinker and was able to repair some nice sound cards. I also found why the SoftMPU didn't work on the Sound Galaxy Basic 16 from my last video.

Oxford has a great museum of natural history. And also the attached Pitt Rivers museum with a great collection of cultural items is mind blowing. You need multiple days to see everything properly.

Decided to share some SMD soldering experience adding a CPU socket. And of course I didn't stop there ;)

How to solder an SMD socket. Got a nice surprise and tested 286 vs 386SX.

Sometimes I'm confused by such comments. Is it a joke? Am I just too stupid to understand sarcasm?

I searched for solder and decided to share my opinion. The most valuable in this video are the comments. Everyone who needs leaded solder will find there a good suggestion from all over the world. Thanks to everybody!

I found finally some time to experiment with EISA. As it turned out I will need to find even more time to make the tests it deserves. This is what I have so far:

Hello retro community. This is going to be my first post here. I published recently a video about some of my soldering equipment, nothing fancy, but may be you are interested. More videos will follow soon. Wish you all a nice year and peaceful skies.
