Haven’t been flying much but we kicked off the rust for a couple minutes this morning after almost finishing the flaps on the zenith. Was nice to have my buddy Simon help with the building this morning.
I’m short a transistor to do a composite MOD on this Atari VCS/2600 so it’s the ol route the RF through a VCR trick for now #atari
Since I only eat once a day now, I had time to recap and heat sync an Atari 800 during lunch. Working like a champ
This morning the “learn something every day” was a maze walker in BASIC
The Selectric II restoration was a snap. About an hour, and it’s working like a champ. It’s built like a tank and probably has 100 years of life left in it. It’ll take me a little bit to get fast on it, but that sound is just so satisfying.
Lunchtime fun “for science”. I was playing with Atari Turbo-BASIC XL the 800XL and couldn’t resist doing the same tests on a VIC-20.
When someone asks why you are doing so and so thing… the answer is ALWAYS “for science”.
My next restoration project isn’t a vintage computer, but it counts as vintage. Always wanted a Selectric. Mechanical pencil for scale. It’s huge.
Autobiographies
I really enjoy autobiographies. Most autobiographies contain all of the bullshitt that the person believes about themselves intertwined with some modicum of truth.
