Recapping commodore 64
IDK really what to put in here but you know my commodore 64 got damaged yesterday so I figured you know I'd recap it while getting a new shell for it
I need help with my MD player guys 😭😭
I've been trying to get songs onto my minidisk for like 3 days and I was using my 35mm to 35mm jack and stuff, and it always recorded correctly for the first song at FIRST and then when I was done recording j went and checked and for some reason all the tracks were made in to split up parts of the first song, like wtf?? Are there any specific tutorials because this is driving me mad and idk where to look for it. Or if any of you guys know ofc
Finally took the leap into 8-track tapes!
Found this SSX TCR 2950 8-track player/clock/radio at a thrift store for $30. The radio needs some love, but the tape player works perfectly. Now I just need to find more 8-tracks worth listening to, lol. I’ve set my modern Victrola Willow radio on top

I recently acquired a Casio sk-5
Elektronika 6 Soviet alarm clock
Hi, I've got this Электроника 6.15 Soviet alarm clock, and I've got a dillema.
These itron displays wear out with use, and they turn dimmer. This display doesn't seem to be that worn, but my room is very bright.
At noon the displayed time is barely visible and I have to come right up to the clock to see the time.
In this video (lovely creator btw ❤️), you can see that the plexiglass can get dirty from the inside (not sure how).
So I thought I could clean mine, but the clock is still sealed from the factory, and it seems like a bad idea to break the seal just to find out the plexiglass is clean.
Also, i can't figure out what are the two oval holes with symbols on the bottom.
What are your thoughts?
My TV and setup
I use the roku to watch comedy central and swap the av cables when i use the 360

The tv(Haier HLC22RW) has a dvd player, butttt i broke it after i got 300 stuck in it and had to take it out
-mb im yapping i js do that
I tried to make something I filmed on a modern camera look as much like VHS Camcorder footage as possible in Davinci Resolve.
If I switched from modern technology to old-fashioned technology, would my family look at me strangely?
The reason for this is that older technologies are more vibrant and more comfortable—which, of course, catches my interest—but here’s the problem: my friends and family are using current technologies or talking about future technologies like this... Even if it’s not everyone, haven’t we all started to look alike by now? Half the people are dressing in the same style—there’s no variety—and they’re always talking about the same technology
That’s why I want to use older technology now—without having to explain myself to anyone.
My retro stuff!
All of this is old stuff, I love my iMacs!
Dont know if this can be can be retro
Just set up a optical drive on my PC, it does work and does read discs

Has any of you experience with fixing cassette players?
I have this at least 25 years old Hifi, I remember seeing similar stuff in this sub. I used it a lot by connecting stuff on it with a jack cable (I have both of the speakers they just aren't on the photo) but I was thinking about fixing the casette player part of it. I opened the side of it and I found the remains of the rubber bands which I know the most faulty piece of casette mechanics but other than that I have no idea what kind of piece to order and where to put it exactly. Btw the CD player won't work either, the mechanic is okey it probably just needs cleaning or adjusting the laser, and the radio is dead because there aren't really AM or FM radios worth listening although it works.
iPad 1st generation with working YouTube
Hey all, I managed to get my iPad 1st generation's App Store working by jailbreaking it and installing a bunch of profiles and tweaks. Then I downloaded a newer YouTube version from the App Store (still quite old tho), and I installed a tweak to allow it to connect to modern YT servers. Here is proof :D. Also I can post comments, but I can't reply to comments or edit my own comments. I guess those features weren't around back then, which is kind of evident when you find some old YouTube comment sections.
IT'S OVER AT LAST. I CAN SLEEP
I have finally obtained a 3DS. Which why is it so special to me? Well, I actually would've gotten one if I had considered a new console a day earlier, as I bought my Switch on launch day. And also, this console is only a few WEEKS younger than me. Anyways This leaves me with 3 dualscreens and also the Wii but that's not in the photo :/
Man I'm tired.
My CRT and stereo
The tv is a 14in sharp
Stereo top to bottom
MCS-6804 cd player
Sony MDS-W1 minidisc deck
JVC TD-W354
A Sony receiver of some sort
My favorite entertainment system. This is the console I grew up with. I absolutely love it.
Something y'all actually care for: MSI Wind U-100X
It has Windows XP Media Center Edition
Uhh I don't know what else to say, it's pretty obsolete nowadays but it still opens the internet
