A childhood Amiga returns to Adrian's Digital Basement repair bench

Two new repairs pair a viewer's treasured computer with a Commodore 1702 monitor troubled by a blown fuse.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Keeping an old computer alive can mean preserving more than its electronics. In "Repairing a viewer's childhood Amiga 500," Adrian takes on a machine its owner wants to see working for many more years. It was the most watched of his two new uploads, reaching about 69,000 views.

The replies add a little family history to the repair. A commenter identifying himself as the owner remembers his mother replacing the disk drive's plastic eject button with a wooden insert. Another recalls playing Monkey Island 2 on the machine and exploring Workbench. Elsewhere, viewers discuss keyboard-membrane repairs and compare Adrian's troubleshooting thought process to diagnosing software problems. This is nostalgia with practical notes attached.

The other new upload, "Commodore 1702 repair: A challenging and frustrating experience," turns to a monitor that Adrian says has been sitting in the basement with a blown fuse. It has the strongest daily viewing momentum right now, while the Amiga repair and "Let's make this cheap Wi-Fi clock awesome" are drawing similar, smaller daily audiences. The clock project offers a different kind of fix: replacing unsatisfactory firmware with his own.

Subscribers held steady, and the channel added roughly 215,000 views over the week. Among nearby technology channels, Action Retro had a similar weekly audience, while Monitors Unboxed had a much busier week. Adrian's contribution is firmly repair-minded: a childhood computer to revive and a stubborn monitor to diagnose.

  • I love listening to your train-of-thought-analysis when doing these repair videos as a developer of many years it's so similar a process to trying to diagnose a software issue.

    Possible follow-up which might be fun.... Add all the missing components on the RTC circuit on the expansion card to get a working clock?
