New video! Inspecting and refurbishing a very special (to me) Commodore 64 that has been in the Beta family since the 1980s.

And the machine herself.
I’ve been sewing on her for months in a sort of make-do setup, but she behaves much better with her proper woodwork back in place.
The last photo is of the bobbin winding mechanism, which I love to bits. Winding bobbins has never been so soothing!
Cleaned up the terminals and put insulation rings on the cells selected for the next battery pack. This is for the Jasion brand ebike that I received in disrepair and tested the motor. I managed to salvage the down tube battery case so I arranged the cells in the holders from that. Nickel strips and spot welding are next.

Experienced bodgers will probably recognise this. It's the thing that makes your washing machine die every few years - the door switch. When my 25-year old Hotpoint machine refused to start, this switch was the second thing I suspected (after the plug fuse). Luckily I had a spare, so the machine was back in service after less than an hour.
Now I'm off to see if you can still buy these switches.
