BBC Micro - Part Two: Full Refurbishment

The Retro Shack 15 min Published Jan 2021

About this video

A BBC Micro is refurbished and detailed back towards factory condition in part two of a series, which also reaches the machine's Ashtray and finds problems in its power supply.

Good to know: The power supply work means mains voltage inside, and capacitors that stay charged after unplugging. Old mains filter capacitors can fail with smoke when powered after years unused. Part two of a series.

Why watch it

Part two of a series, so the history of the machine sits in the first episode, and part three is promised next. The power supply surprises are the part to watch closely.
