A channel dedicated to the restoration and exploration of old technology.
Videos planned for the coming months: - Sinclair C5 restoration - a multi-part video series including a full strip down and restoration of this quirky British transportation technology from 1985 - BBC Micro disk drives - BBC Micro teletext adaptors - A look at composite video, and examination of a Tektronix PAL waveform monitor
Hmm red on a traffic light means? Typical cyclist disgusting behaviour, especially as there was a pedestrian on the crossing. Should be reported and charged.
Why the blinkered prejudice against cyclists? When it's just as prevalent among motorists.I cycle,ride and drive and see it regularly along with blocked box junctions and roundabouts etc. not to mention the numbers of drivers texting,eating,drinking,doing make up,reading,watching TV,internet,RU-vid,shaving,on the phone,brushing hair,sorting their kids out etc, Let those without sin..................
I never quite understood why Sir Clive put the steering where it is, it just seems a more traditional steering position on the "Dash" would have been better, perhaps make it more accepted.
The handle bars are under the knees. This seems strange at first but new riders immediately get on with it and report it to be a natural position for the handle bars
I would love to replicate that board showing the electrics working, Any chance of a detailed video showing how you made and wired it? or a link to how to build it? Thanks!
Great video many thanks. May I ask where you got the Sinclair vehicles sign from ? If it was specially made could you let me the details of the sign maker you used as they may still have the graphics to produce another many thanks
If you email me via my website I will send you the logo. Any printer that can print on Foamex board can print it. The foamex was cut to size by the printer then I velcro’d it onto two battons that are screwed to the wall.
Hi. Great video thanks. May I ask where you got the Sinclair vehicles sign from. If you had it specially made do you have a link the the sign maker many thanks.
Great to see about all the C5s, we did a video on the event at the prom and featured them all parked up in that delta formation, huge turnout. Great to see the more Sinclair stuff from. The past, I started out my computing life on a ZX80....
@retroworkshop Very good video! I have exactly the same issue. Found a DT-V1910CG but the seller damaged the coating when he tried to clean it before the sale… I like the tint you have ended up with. Looks pretty good to Me. Could You please tell Me which exactly tint You used it. I guess the original coating of the DT-Vs is always the same, so whatever tint you used should be good for Mine too. At least that’s my guess :) Also do You have by any chance the dimensions (is yours a 19“?) I would like to get pre cut tints
Hello, I have a 17 inch model. In this video I fitted 50pc light smoke tint from window-tint.co.uk/ Since I made this video, I have replaced film on other monitors and instead used the "carbon" variant from this same site. This is a close match and doesn't have the slightly off white light transfer (ever so slightly yellow). This film is much thinner and easy to damage. But then the original film is easy enough to damage.
This process can be very fiddly. Some monitors you get it right first time, others it takes five goes to get it right without little air bubbles or imperfections. Buy lots of extra film! :)
Hello, could you give me a purchase link for this DC DC converter, where did you buy it or on Aliexpress that is economical? I also wanted to know where to buy a DC power input connector for a zx spectrum 48k. Thank you
Hello, Retroleum.co.uk is where I bought the DC to DC convertor (it is their MuRata Switch Mode 5v Regulator (replaces 7805)). They also sell the DC connector you want (Replacement 2.1mm DC Power Socket).
