The retro repository
Hardware specs, schematics, original manuals, and hands-on restoration notes — everything we've documented across three decades of collecting.
Commodore
The machine that defined a generation. From the breadbin C64 to the Amiga 1200, we cover recapping, SID chip swaps, floppy drive alignment, and more.
Sinclair
Clive Sinclair's rubber-keyed revolution. Membrane replacements, ULA chip sourcing, and the legendary +2 power supply fix.
MSX
The Japanese standard that never quite made it west. Cartridge pinouts, BIOS dumps, and the definitive guide to MSX2+ video output.
NEC
Japan's dominant home and business platform of the 1980s. PC-88 sound board installation, PC-98 HDD replacement, and CRT calibration guides.
Sharp
The X68000 — arguably the finest home computer ever made. Capacitor lists, SCSI2SD installation, and the complete CZ-6BM2 power supply rebuild.
Atari
From the 8-bit XL series to the misunderstood Falcon. POKEY chip diagnostics, STE DMA audio fixes, and TOS ROM upgrade guides.
