You should consider one of those Nakamichi Dragon cassette decks. They are mechanically fascinating and supposedly sound fantastic

What’s the tariff on Australia? If it is higher, I suggest they simply put Heard and Macdonald as country of origin. Dumb won’t notice

I have the exact same reaser, and the timer was already defective when I got it. Never missed it though.

A repair I do over and over again and seriously dislike is trying to fix my chip puller. Dang, that’s annoying when it goes apart

Retro repairs going meta: Spending more time repairing the gear used to do retro repairs, than you spend on doing retro repairs.

Indeed an unusual repair job on a C16. Compared to the C64, the average C16 repair must be 1/10 of the time due to all the major ICs being socketed and the CPU accouting for 90% of the errors.

I got one of these this very weekend. I have been using a HANTEK HE6022 for a year or so due to lack of space on my desk. The hazzle of getting it connectd to the laptop made me consider this option instead.
Have you come across any serious limitations and did you update the firmware?

And @factorofmatt.bsky.social, a suggestion for your roadmap: What about doing a new diag cart which provides more detail on th failed tests that the original? n/n

One of the issues with the trouble shooting carts is that you don't know exactly what the tests do, and how to interpret the results. Having the opportunity to link symptoms with parts would take it way further. 2/n

I can recommend doing some 1541 repair videos. 1541s are quite interesting to work on as they are quite versatile compared to the c64 itself

I suppose this has something to do with using the DesTestmax in SL mode. Are you planning a video to demonstrate this feature? Would be interesting

I got the mechboard from them too and have to admit that I'm not overly impressed by the quality. The asssembly instructions are non existent despite were much needed. I haven't been able to mount the Return key the intended way.

You should do more 1541 /1541-II repairs. They are interesting to work on, and there are som many new problems to discover there. While the c64 seems to be conquered wilderness, the 1541 remains more upstream amazonian.
