The person behind the soldering iron.

Lee in his workshop

Hi, I'm Lee. I rescue retro computers and consoles from the brink of extinction, armed only with soldering irons, questionable optimism, and occasionally, a helpful swear word or two.

After fully regressing to my teenage years — minus the acne and lie-ins — I've thrown myself headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of vintage 8 and 16-bit machines. Expect adventures in repairs, restorations, and ambitious builds, peppered generously with mistakes, triumphs, more mistakes, and the joyous relief when things actually work.

You'll find all my latest escapades here, including those gloriously frustrating moments that remind me why it really is More Fun Making It.
