Welcome to Dr Asteroid's
Vintage computer repair lab

Lst update 18/04/02

If you like retro computers and games or like the smell of old electronics warming up you need to put this in your favourites list now!

The big downside with old computers, is due to their age they often may be broken, or will break down soon. All collectors should learn tricks on repairing and/or maintaining their treasured machines.

As certain computers have standard to appreciate in value, ie: a Sinclair ZX80 maybe have been worth £50-100 five years ago, more like £200-400 now, spending time and money on repairs is going to be a worthwhile investment.

This is what this forum is for. Registration is not necessary, drop in and chat now!!
