The Keep it Going workshop

Home Go back.

This page is here to document ways to maintain various devices which still work, but are old enough to present certain technical challenges to the user in this day and age. I hope to include instruction/repair manuals, modification lists, hints, and practices and procedures of both my own design and those from the wider internet. It's currently using the template of the FATCat page, so there might be a few odd leaks from there.

This page assumes you have a reasonable knowledge of electronics. Some of the repairs and modifications written about here shouldn't be attempted by anyone without a basic understanding of electrical/electronic theory. I intend to create a downloadable pdf of the various repair processes, so they can be used offline for future reference.
