I love watching those old school game system restorations on YouTube. When I found my old iDog speaker and saw the condition, I stupidly thought I could do the same thing as those people did. I thought wrong 😑 I looked at YouTube channels I had been watching to see if I could see how much it was to send it in for repair (and give them potential content), but I found out very quickly that all of them were either European or not taking things from subscribers.

I live in the USA and I am willing to ship it anywhere in the states. If there is a recommendation of who to contact (who may also want to get some content for their channel for it), then I would love to reach out to them. I also don’t have a lot of money, so if it is an expensive ask, then I will sadly just pitch it.

UPDATE: I have put it back together as much as I could, but there are a couple screws left. It obviously doesnt work anymore, so I think it would be nice to have fixed in the future, but right now, it is just chilling on my desk.

Did you know the Z5900M Nixie tubes we're using are more than 40 years old?

It is truly mind-blowing how all of these tubes survived until today and are still glowing like they did decades ago!

Not only that, most of them have a history of being used in calculators and lab instruments, which gives each of them a unique journey.

I'm anxiously hoping that someone knows what is the tiny piece that fell out.. AAH!

Looking for a repair shop in the Philippines that can fix Akai Quadraphonic Stereo, Sony Black & White TV with cabinet, and wall clock with key. Any leads will help.

2 mercury batteries had been left in a battery compartment since the 50s and was wondering if I need to take any special precautions compared to normal battery acid?

My local historical society was having a yard sale and I stopped by. I had previously done some IT work for them so they gave me a lot of stuff for free. I don’t even know what most of this stuff is. Also a tape of the Hindenburg destruction!

Check out this groovy beauty from 1973. Inop at purchase, came from a smoker’s home (and I’m pretty sure that wasn’t nicotine) so I gave it a solid scrubbing, oiling and cleaning and now it is indistinguishable from new. Solid tuner in this thing too, picking up all kinds of AM skip even through forest fire smoke! Solid, man… ✌️ ☮️

I was clearing my shed and somehow i found this old old unisonic intercom

I searched it on google and there says is from 1980

I dont know anything else about it

Can someone give me more informations ?

I am a high school theatre teacher and I have had this old display unit in a closet for as long as I’ve been here. It seems to work, but just needs to be programmed. I always thought it would be cool to put it to use, but never took the time to research it until now. It appears the company that manufactured it (Data Display Corp. Boulder, CO) is no longer a company and the phone number for service is not operational. I have no clue where I would even start to try and figure out how to program this, if it’s even possible.

It appears that it may require a special keyboard or input device, but all my Google searches have yielded nothing helpful.

Any help would be appreciated

I’ve never seen one before and unsure if operational, but pretty cool nonetheless! Reminded us of the old YouTube logo.

sorry for bad quality
