Repaired some broken solder joints, sanded out the biggest scuffs and polished most of the scratches out of the screen. Oh yeah, and the paint job.

    Part of me wants that tv. Part of me has absolutely no room at my place. Part of me wants to be home so I can play super mario bros. And part of me just wants to be sent back to the 80s…take me away from this AWFUL decade. Everything sucks now, and the people who are in charge are rewarded for making it worse.

    I want to go home…and it’s weird to think of a decade as home. But this isn’t home.

      …this is the 4th CRT in that room. There another TV a VGA monitor and a Macintosh SE. I’m slowing turning it into my reclusive shut-in cave.

        Is this a “Not enough connections” problem? Or an “I’m having a midlife breakdown, and an abundance of disposable income”?

        Because shit…I can get behind the second one. A friend who has TOO MUCH MONEY to spend, and a love for retro gaming? Hell yeah!

        Throw in a 24 pack of beer, and we got a night where I’m gonna kick your ass in Goldeneye007 on N64!!! No oddjob.
