New video! A reasonable person would've thrown this out. I am not a reasonable person! Full Restoration of a rusty Commodore 1702:

This Game Gear was already “fixed”… except it absolutely wasn’t.

No screen.
Lemmings music playing happily like nothing’s wrong.
And then… somehow… it starts working.

I still don’t fully know why.

Something very special on the radio repair desk today! My first ever experience with this sort of device as well. I am currently very deep in the restoration, and a video is in progress! 😊 You will hopefully see it in the next few days! #vintageaudio #electronicsrepair

Simple fix for broken electronics: Soak the PCB in alcohol!

I managed to save two completely different dead devices this way: an ultrasonic cleaner and a Zigbee repeater. Both are working perfectly again. Worth a try before throwing things out!
