As part of my journey collecting and restoring the electronic devices I once dreamed of, I’ve encountered countless challenges, surprises, and, yes, failures. This section of the blog is where I’ll share the experiments that didn’t quite go as planned and the lessons learned along the way. Just as with the devices themselves, sometimes the most valuable insights come from the unexpected—those moments where things didn’t work out the first time, or even the second.
Here, you’ll find a mix of practical tips, step-by-step tutorials, and honest accounts of my trials and errors. Whether it’s repairing a vintage console, modding an old piece of tech to bring it into the modern era, or simply tinkering with something out of curiosity, this space is dedicated to the learning process. I believe that sharing these experiences, both the successes and the failures, can help others who are on a similar journey—or inspire someone to start one of their own.
