Ta for sharing that Andy, it's the kick up the bum I needed to switch - cancelled my Spotify subscription and I'm giving Qobuz a spin...

This phenomenal bit of 8-bit music is wasted on an Amstrad game from 1987 that no one remembers.

No worries, glad to pass it on. It's just an extension of the Noel's Retro Lab CPC tape input mod, applied to the model of tape deck used in the +2A which used very similar circuit...

Yeah did seem like they'd changed up the mechanics quite a bit. Service Manual available?

My neighbour and I just repaired a similar Technics SL-PJ1 CD Player which wouldn't move the laser (I think it didn't spin the disc either?) The issues was a broken belt which connected the worm gear which tracks the laser with the motor. However this looks like quite a different mechanism,good luck

Can totally relate all my retro projects are on the very go slow at the minute and I'm really missing it too... Your video are top notch tho, really enjoy them so hopefully a gap will come and you can get the time to do another, I'll watch the heck out of it!

Spotted these in an Italian deli out and about and had to pick them up after @adriansdigitalbasement.com featured them in a turbo mail call and they looked so good!

When I worked in hotels, calling our local phone number - get this - made the phone ring at the front desk and it was MY JOB to answer that phone and help people.

I want us to return to that world. It was more fun when we just helped each other and didn't try to avoid each other.

This was a great round of the BRA quiz, really enjoyed it. Think I might have even got one right too!

I'm very relieved to read in the caption that it's broken, was worried for you there for a second 😁

Matt Green Tickets, Tour and Concert Dates – www.livenation.co.uk

If you’ve enjoyed my videos over the last few years I’d love to see you at my live shows. My tour starts in a month and sales have been slower than last year - probably partly because I’m not on X anymore. But it’s a fun show and I’d love more people to see it! www.livenation.co.uk/matt-green-t...

In case you're wondering why racists are scrawling the George cross everywhere instead of the Union Jack, it's because it's much easier to draw and they're all very thick
