4:35 This footage isn't actually sped up, he'd just cleaned so many machines that he's become powerful enough to go at such fast speeds.

David's neighbor: "It's been a long since i've seen him outside. I wonder what happened..."

I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why you have a video of you washing your car from 13 years ago.

This episode has it all. Strange chemical reactions melting plastic cases, the printing of replacement parts, a side mission solving the driveway-spot mystery, high power UV experiments, and the classic of classics: Commodore 64.

Just started watching 2 days ago. Ive watched like 20 videos now

[VincentLawSan]

"It's probably gonna give me cancer." 3 seconds later: "So I rigged up 3 of these." LOL

6:08 the video isn't sped up, this is 8-bit guy speed after years of cleaning old computers

[AcktongueBaby]

"Probably going to give me let's get started!"

The Nuclear Blast™ - The BEST! retrobriting technique for not sunny days!

When the 80s synthwave music kicks-in, you know it just got real.

Me, 1982: In the future we will live on the Moon! You can't imagine all the amazing things in the future!

Me, 2020: Watching how to clean a computer from 1982.

18:00 0 lumens... well, close enough, anyway. Lumens are the amount of *visible* light. The right unit to measure UV flux really is watts.

My driveway has those exact same marks just like yours and I never figured out why. I can't believe it was the black magic, thank you so much for figuring this out!

[SonJayChannel]

The 'bobble-head' effect is likely due to the uneven weight of the keycap swaying the inner column of the plunger at its peak where it is no longer supported by the outer column. 3D printed components (even with 100% infill) lack density and can be very light when compared to resin cast pieces. Since tolerances are not sufficient, we get bobble!
As the concern is a dwindling supply of replacement parts, molds could be printed using inverse infills of those same files. Properly weighted plungers could be recreated after some trial and error with mixing ratios :)

"Nuclear blast" he says, and due to the camera auto-adjusting it really does look like a Cherenkov radiation burst.

My friend: "Do you want to go to a bar tonight?"
Me: "Nah. I'm gonna watch a guy pour hydrogen peroxide on an old computer"

Sunday morning drinking coffee, David restoring a C64 and Anders' gentle music in the background -> pure relaxation.

[MrReese]

The thoroughness and care you put into restoring this is just amazing. The part where you go to your brother's house and he has even more stuff to fix these machines just blew my mind :D.

[beeberbonberber]

This man is so proficient that he 3-D printed new plungers even though he didn’t intend on using them and also the fact that he’s giving it away is very cool and it’s very thoughtful that he included the original plungers and even told everyone at the end of his video that he would for the person that he’s giving it to! What an honest man
