I've teamed up again with my mate Pete to bring you another of his amazing extreme refurbishments; this time an Atari 800 XL that may just be the worst condition computer restoration you've ever seen. Or just a happy accident.
Restoring these special machines is very close to my heart, so I couldn't resist his invitation to bring you this video reconstruction from the only photos he took of the project. Wait till you see how the refurbishment turns out. Marvel at the rebar for plastic. Gasp at the chipped chips. This Retro Recipe takes the cake 🍰 To finish this up we'll retrobrite the keyboard off camera soon. Let me know what you think of this extremefurb in the comments! And read the full story of how this machine came to be like this at: goo.gl/MND7tE

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone. It is really nice to see that you liked this small restoration job of mine. Also, I would like to thank Chef Peri for making this awesome video - it is a top-notch work! I must admit that I did a lot of mistakes while working on this unit. It is all described in details on my blog. However, because of learned lessons you can expect way better outcome with my future extreme refurbishing projects ... and there are quite a few. I just need more time ;)

Louisiana 1987. I was 4 years old, I received a secondhand Atari 800XL from my Grandmother. It sat by my bedside with a small black and white tv and I played it almost everyday. Choplifter, Ms Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Jungle Hunt, even practicing typing. I was a teenager when my mother smashed my Atari 800XL with a hammer and threw it away. Leaving only a single keyboard key to remind me. Probably coincidental that you restored the exact model that I had, with similar damage. But in a way, it's like you really did restore the one my mom broke all those years. This video is an amazing restoration. and in some way it has restored special memories to me. Thanks 👍✨

Probably a coincidence. Only God knows. The one I had was thrown away in Livingston, Louisiana some time between 1994-97 and had been struck with a hammer several times, specifically the keyboard. and when it was thrown away, it was put on top of the garbage so someone could see it.

The circuit board itself is actually made out of layers of fiberglass, not silicon. Common mistake! Very clever idea on repairing the cracked circuit board. I'm an electrical engineering specializing in circuit board design myself, and I've never thought of doing that personally! I'd probably have just remade the bare board in Altium and had a brand new bare board made at a board fabrication house and then transfer over what components were still working. Good on you guys for finding a way to salvage the original.

I'm an Atarian. SO Great video! I love all retro computers, but as I spent a lot of time with an 800XL, than later various STs and a lynx, I am grounded in Atari. I have an 800, 800XL, 2 x lynx, also a 1040 STE. All the tape players and 5 1/4 inch drives that go with the above. Oh I forgot, I have an unused boxed Woody. Get them out and just look at them once in a while. I don't really use these as prefer to use emulation on my Nvidia Shield TV. I have other systems but have a real soft spot for Atari. The Atari in this video is really brought back from the dead, really inspirational. Just noticed what looks like an apple 2e behind you. When the company I worked for closed our office in 1993, in the office below ours were two apple 2es, I really wanted to take them home but was worried it might be considered theft, even though the were abandoned. Following week went back to check on our old office only to find some complete wankers had broken in and smashed everything to pieces, including both the apples. I so regretted not taking at least one of them home. It was an import clearance office in Dover, closure was due to European integration.

Amazing job! Real clever trick with the painting and texture. Might have to "borrow" this idea in the future for some of my IBM machines.

I love this video! Atari 800XL was my very first 'Home Computer', and I played a lot of it. Wish I still can get one!

That is a lot of dedication for that Atari. My first computer was an Atari 800XL, still have it but I have a quarter sized hole on the top right of the case. Was wondering how I should fix it, or just replace the top case.

If I were you I'd try to repair it rather than lose half of your original childhood computer. I hope this video helps. 👍🕹️

What color white paint did you use?
@RetroRecipes
@RetroRecipes 6 лет назад
What I did was I simply went to a car paint shop and told guys there to make me two cans of a custom color. Then they scanned an inside of a case with a color scanner and based on that readings created a custom paint. I also wanted it to be matt. It turned out to be a cool idea. Since then, I am getting all my paints from this shop for all my projects. - Pete
