My channel features videos documenting restoration work on computers and consoles. These videos are the result of my personal experience and are not intended to teach how to repair these devices. While I enjoy restoring these items for their collection or personal use, I am not a professional and they should not be replicated at home without the supervision of an expert. If you want to support my channel with a gift from my Amazon wish list : www.amazon.it/hz/wishlist/ls/3C8VO7SU0A22P?ref_=wl_share All donations received will be used to improve the quality of my videos, purchase equipment and tools, and cover post-production and general channel expenses. Thank you in advance for your support!
😬😬I am shuddering at directly attacking old dry corrosion with a sanding pen and scraping tools! It's kind of like getting your teeth cleaned with no water! My immediate thought is to clean with liquids first to displace and dissolve as much corrosion as possible. IPA, white vinegar, or distilled water to start, and perhaps move on to soft scrubbing with water and baking soda paste or a pink pencil eraser. Take note at 16:09 - the fiberglass pen has removed some of the gold contact surface on the contact pads. Overall, it's not killing the game now, but it could result in a shorter life in the long run. Finally, I would recommend opening games and inspecting them first before testing them in an NES, as some of that gunk and corrosion can transfer to the contact pins inside your NES! As Dave Jones would say, "Don't turn it on! Take it apaaaart!" 😄 Anyway, all games ended up working again, so we can call this one a victory! Great job, and keep on learning!
In Germany it was selled as Schneider CPC 464. Amstrad had no selling structure in Germany, so Schneider overtook and renamed it. Also they changed the design. All of the colorfull keys were changed to a boring grey in the german version. Because.. it´s for germans :-) This was my second computer after the Vic20 and I loved it. Keep on the great work. Greetings from Germany!
This is a nice channel. Usually I only watch these sorts of videos when I'm trying to fix my own electronics (usually breaking more stuff in the process lol... I suck at this stuff) but this is just fun to watch. It's very relaxing somehow. Glad I found your channel, keep up the good work 👍
