She looks beautiful!  Great job! Never forget about the tape control relay!

[RetroGamerVX]

@tribalmasters Thanks tribal, yes. I'd never used one before (well, not since the early 80s) so I didn't realise you have to do that :o)

[psychodraculo]

Great video! The mistake you made with the PLAY key is hilarious!

[RetroGamerVX]

@psychodraculo Lol, thanks, I leave the mistakes in so that others can learn from them :o)

Great video. I shall go clean out my Amiga600 tomorrow as that has been in my cupboard for quite some time now and probably needs a good clean.

[RetroGamerVX]

@MrStephen182 Thanks Mr, have fun :o)

[MrRetroNick]

Great advice there on the best way to clean a retro computer or system that's really dirty.

@Firthy2002 Ty firthy, if you like this, I just finished baking my laptop motherboard in the oven and got that working :o)

[Firthy2002]

Nicely done.

@RetroGamerVX I thought that when I typed it, but hey, for all you know he googles Amstrad once in a whie and he may see this and shed a single tear.. then wipe it off with a cheque for $100k
