Welcome, a description to the right explains the 'why' and 'how' so I guess I need to go into a bit more detail as to 'what' you can expect from this site.
The main subjects will be Vintage Computer Restoration, Vintage Camera Restoration and a link to a separate site for our Lego addiction.
I have been restoring old cameras and old computers for some time now, mainly during my 'employed' years, now in retirement I can dedicate much more time to this and also have the time to document the process for each restoration.
The first one will be an old HEKTOR computer produced in the 80's for the Open University, a very basic board and just over 40 years old so I don't know what to expect. My intention is to restore the items to as near factory release as possible, however there may be elements of modernisation in some cases, for example a lot of old computers output UHF TV signals, the old modulators are problematic and many TV's today do not handle these UHF signals very well. We will see.

    Welcome

    A few years ago I decided on early retirement.
    ​Now seems to be the right time for me to document examples of what I get up to in retirement.
    ​This Blog will provide pointers into much more detailed pages of the various 'aspects' of my hobbies.
    Or, you can of  course browse via the menus above.   ​Hope you find something there of interest.
