Videos documenting restorations of exceptional vintage electronics and early computers, space hardware and the odd mechanical calculator or Teletype.

A nerdy place for your inner engineer, to celebrate engineering exploits of our predecessors, and learn a lot from it. To contact me, use the CAPTCHA protected email link below.
