Atari 600XL: Rotten machine renovated, step-by-step
Показать описание
This machine was one half of a lot of two Atari XLs bought for £20 each and was in a deplorable state before the owner sent the computer to me for renovation and upgrades. It arrived here after some cleaning but was still severely corroded and discoloured. In this video, I attempt to document in detail the restoration work required to make the 600XL look 'nearly new'.
