New YouTube Channel: Retro Hack Shack
I started a new YouTube channel today! I have been hooked on restoring and collecting vintage computers and game systems for the past few years. I host a monthly meeting at the Makerspace I founded in the town where I live and a nice little community has developed. Making has roots in tinkering and fixing things, so this is a natural hobby for me to pick up.
The new channel will focus on the many projects that I now have in my backlog such as:
- Tandy Computer History Series (I haven’t seen anyone do this yet)
- Using a mid-2000 machine to bridge the gap from early DOS to Windows 10
- How to use Linux to troubleshoot and fix retro storage issues
- 486 computer build
- Putting emulators in cheap handhelds
- Tools for repairing/restoring vintage computers Beginner/Expert
- Designing custom PCBs
- Designing and 3D printing parts for vintage systems
- Designing reproduction artwork
- Silicon Valley company history (similar to this)
- Where to buy vintage computer stuff for cheap
- RGBtoHDMI with raspberry pi
Making an external cable for IBM 5150(done)- Build a transparent bar top arcade cabinet
- Bartop to standup arcade conversion
I have converted this (until now) seldom used site into the home for the Retro Hack Shack so that I can list more detail and information about the projects I am working on, the tools I use, and other stuff.
