Factory Mistakes and Dodgy Power Socket - ZX Spectrum 128k +2

[@fixitalex]

That's really nice to have a cup of tea and watch a pair of talking hands!

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

😍 Thank you!

[@DanielTorres-wp3mr]

I tune KZbin to see channels like this on my 1970 black and white rca tv set. So far I haven't been successful finding one. I tried vhf and even uhf. I was overwhelmed with joy seeing a tv character from my favorite 70's mexican show. Don Ramon. Thank you for making your work interesting and fun.

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thank you Daniel! Don Ramon! I learned something new today :D I will look him up, his face seemed very familiar to me. I'm so glad you are having fun watching me fooling about. It makes me want to do more!

[@honoredshadow1975]

I just found your channel via RoseTintedSpectrum. Fantastic video. Can't wait to watch more!

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Rose Tinted is one of my favourite channels on KZbin, and happens to be the nicest bloke you'll ever meet. Welcome aboard! 😁

[@CitroenGS]

Love seeing Don Ramón here at 4:45...

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Someone else pointed that out! He seems to be very popular

Loving the worlds smallest silicon mat 😅 nice repair dude

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

I like to be efficient in my worktop protection 😆 Thanks mate! (LOVE YOUR STUFF!)

[@RetroSix]

@@MoreFunMakingIt thanks. Just noticed all my auto corrects lol. Corrected them. Just started getting lots of spectrum repairs and enjoyed chilling to some of your repair vids

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Excellent! Maybe watch the Speccy from Hell series from behind the sofa... If you need anything gimme a shout!

[@leesmithsworkshop]

Great repair Lee

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thanks Lee!

[@RetroKrazy]

Great video and your storage solution for resistors looks like my one for caps... :D

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

The key to this storage system is to start small. A nice small box with too much stuff in it. Then upgrade the box to something almost big enough to contain the stuff. As you get more stuff keep going with the upgrades but NEVER make the box big enough. That would spell disaster. Probably. I dont really know I never tried.

[@JonathanAdamsGB]

Another fabulous installation of MFMI goodness!

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thank you Jonathan! Hope you are well :D

[@blackterminal]

Your right about youth not understanding tuning. They don't even like watching anything that's not instant on. :)

[@mspacific1550]

Loved this. Subscribed.

[@BrainSlugs83]

RE: The comments about the owner loving it and then being a monster for putting it on fleabay... Yeah, okay, it's meant to be funny and entertaining (and it is)... but the empathic part of me takes a bit of offense... People don't live forever and their families choosing to not landfill it is a pretty good outcome for this system. Other reasons exist as well (for example, "becoming liberated from housing", or other housing changes; cognitive issues that come with age; or simply being unable to use it in the modern era, e.g. because of lack of resources and not knowing how to use the internet, etc.) Anyway, making that joke once is fine, but multiple times, it just hit me right in the feels. Somebody loved that machine. Thank you for restoring it. 🙂

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thank you for your comment. I mean that sincerely. You make an interesting point. I think these things affect us all in different ways, and while I might not have thought along the same lines as you at the time I made this that's not to say I don't think that way. I feel that as people we use humour to shield ourselves from things that can make us feel bad, and sometimes that can end up coming across as mean. I honestly wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, and try not to with what I say and do. But with all that being said I am what I am, and I my sense of humour wont be for everyone. And that's fine. I can live with that. But thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video.

[@andrewlittleboy8532]

I just took it as a joke, Maybe I’m missing something?😂

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Just the opposite 😉

[@RetroSegaDev]

I'd tune into TikTok to watch your videos :D

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Don't move that dial! 😆

[@RetrogradeScene]

I have very similar issues when trying to find a resistor in my storage facility.

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Organic storage solutions. Probably need to patent that

[@KolliRail]

Well done!

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thank you! I have a C64 repair coming up soon I think you'll like 😉 Not the next one, the one after that.

[@sweetlilmre]

Nice repair! What iron, tip and braid are you using? Your desoldering skills are next level.

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thank you! The iron is a Pinecil. I love it! The tip is a chisel type, I cant remember the exact one but you can spot it in the pictures. Worth getting a good quality one, that will last a long time. The braid is MG Chemicals branded. Amazing stuff.

[@TheBasementChannel]

Nice looking machine, great fixes!

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thanks mate!

[@Zhixalom]

"Highly organized resistor storage facility" - how come I find it completely 'futile' to believe you, when you put it like that 😆

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Dont worry. They all comply

[@Zhixalom]

@@MoreFunMakingIt I seem to be having this tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle... ehm, I mean with finding a proper way of organizing my resistor collection. 😅 - Awh bloody!... Now I've probably sent the Vl'hurg's off on another mindless war again. 🙃

[@CurtisOvard]

Another good video. 👍

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thanks Curtis 😃

[@JonPowis]

Great informative videos :)

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thank you! Although anything you learn watching my videos is entirely by accident and I cannot be held responsible for your personal growth 😉😆

[@JonPowis]

@@MoreFunMakingIt hahaha good get out of jail card :)

[@EC5ABG]

Buen trabajo!👍👏

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Thank you!

[@MinistryOfWalks]

“Factory mistakes” I hope you’re not implying that Sir Alan Sugars products were anything less than perfect?

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

They're not mistakes! They're features!

[@blackterminal]

I thought the plus 2 rgb socket had sound on one of the pins yet your fancy cable has a separate lead to the sound socket? Am I incorrect?

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

I would have to check, but I seem to recall no audio unless I plug in that flying lead

[@primokarma9841]

It looks like it's covered in Pot Noodle stains

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Much like myself!

[@stevemcknelly5036]

Isn't explaining analog technology to the youth of today one of those things that you threaten someone with? LOL

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

"Why do you have a box of save icons?" 😆
