Polymorph Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi All, I videoed my "adventures" restoring an old Redstone Apple //e clone in October 2017 (!) and finally got around to finishing editing it for general consumption. Strap yourselves in, it's a bit of a long one... The video can be seen on my (new) channel here: https://youtu.be/m_-eu9YHbsk I know some of you will cringe at some of my restoration techniques, but please be nice as this machine was in a pretty bad state when I received it. Some of the techniques I used were new to me, so it was a bit of a learning experience as well. Cheers, Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Wow that system was just filthy! Was it stored outside in a shed or something? I really like the segment where you take a garden hose to wash the metal shield; sometimes that is the only way. I have cleaned a few really grungy Atari 2600 cases, but never anything quite that dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the ebay auction said that it had been stored outside in a shed for many years; and it really showed. Even the box it arrived in had bits falling out everywhere. I was actually reluctant at first to put my hand inside it for fear of what I might find. Thankfully it was pretty much just dirt/debris and some remains left by spiders.
