Recap
-
A BBC Micro power supply that released its magic blue smoke. I replace the failed Rifa X2 caps and service the whole PSU with the Retro Clinic advanced kit.

A Spectrum 48K board with half its parts missing, including the ULA. In part one I look at what’s gone and the new parts from ZX Renew that make a rebuild possible.

An Atari Lynx II that won’t power on, fixed by replacing the power stage components (Q12, D13, Q7, Q8, R74) and recapping the board with a Digital Delights kit.
-
