Host of Userlandia. I write a lot of words, sometimes about old computers and sometimes about new computers.
@lauren The tensioners in the joints go loose over time. You might just need to give them a tweak with an allen wrench.

BigBadBiologistI've never worked on an Atari MEGA ST2 setup before, and I hate working on CRTs. So obviously, this Saturday's noon stream will be working on @kefkafloyd 's SC1224 monitor which has lost its red.

@declan the gears will crunch eventually, since it uses the same motors as the ones in your SE and SE/30. Would recommend picking up a packet of replacement gears from Kero’s Mac Mods and relubricating the drive. It’s a great weekend project!
A new video approaches! I've long been hunting for an optical drive bezel for my PS/2 Model 80. But they're nearly impossible to find. The solution: 3D printing! Plus, check out all the vintage bezel designs I found during my research.

New Video is now live for Patrons: I've long been on the hunt for an optical drive bezel for my PS/2 Model 80. But they're nearly impossible to find. The solution: 3D Printing! Plus, check out all the wacky bezel combinations I found during my research.
@sethmarinello Thanks. My theory based on research is that the changeover to Rev B logic boards happened sometime in Q3 1994, but I don't have enough data to affirmatively state that
@sethmarinello Can you tell me the build date on the back of the system? Should be under the serial number.
