Kia Ora from the deep south...

[Nighthawk]

Hello from the deep south... er that being Dunedin.

I recently pulled my Commodore 128D out of retirement, ... it moaned and groaned but burst into life as if it was only yesterday it was last switched off... (yesterday being 27 od years ago )

It is a bit yellowed and I am wanting to retro-clean it and restore it to its former glory. However, I have never done that before (nor am I that good with electronics...

I also have the C64 mini which has been a blast, and will be putting that down in my mancave bar when I get told to get it out of the lounge lol...

I have a couple of pages on my main website for those that are interested in following my journey ...

I am on the hunt for a going C64, Disk Drive would prefer a 1571 FDD as well on the hunt for a Commodore 1351 mouse.
I never had the Data cassette so not worried if I don't get one, and already have a Monitor... though would consider buying a second.

So as for me, plastic fabricator by day, woodworker/maker by night... and run a small growing youtube channel called Wacky Wood Works where I make stuff mainly forom wood but will use any material
