Heathkit H8 Computer youtube.com/playlist?list=PL… via @YouTube Fun project so far. I’m still working on the H9 terminal. If anyone remembers the Star Trek game popular in the 1970s, that was the first official game I played on this system. #heathkit #RETROGAMING #RetroComputing

It’s about time to build this little single board computer kit.. it’s an 8085 based computer with 256 bytes of RAM. Not 256K bytes, but 256 bytes.

youtube.com/shorts/6C47j8Ysw… This was my second time at Savi’s Workshop at Galaxies Edge, and it was still a blast. I would love to get all of the scrap metal for all 4 lightsaber types, but that would be expensive! Have you been to Savi’s, what did you think? #StarWars #lightsaber

I picked up this Heathkit VT-5A VTVM (1951) and found that it still had a battery inside that dates from 1951. Amazingly the battery has not leaked, I guess that’s why it’s called a leak proof battery. Amazingly it still measures 1.43 V. Is that even possible?!! @eevblog

I just taught @JulieToonces21 Carverna: Cave vs Cave and lost. To be fair, it is only the second time I’ve played lol. Fun two-player game by Ewe Rosenberg. #boardgame #Boardgamegeek #boardgamenight

I thought this would be one of the easier #metalearth kits, but getting the helmet on seemed like it needed three hands.

Every aspiring Jedi (or Sith) needs a Kyber crystal. Did you know the the green Kyber crystal in the gold-topped case turns a Jedi holocron (from Dok-Ondar’s at Galaxies edge) into a Yoda “magic eightball?” #starwars #disney

If you ever go to #Disneyland or #DisneyWorld Galaxies Edge, and plan to buy more than $100 in merchandise, get the $100 Black Spire credit chip from one of the shops. Once you’ve spent it, you’re left with this great metal credit chip as a souvenir. #StarWars

Another fun trinket from our last Disney trip. Savi’s Workshop lightsaber from “Peace and Justice” parts. You all know I’m about peace and justice. #StarWars #DisneyWorld

Fun with holocrons. The Jedi and Sith holocrons have an interesting reaction to each other. #StarWars

Finally going to get through this so I can play KH 3. Here’s hoping that KH 4 finds a way to drop in some Star Wars and Marvel IP.

I’ve been looking for this in the wild for about a year. It finally showed up at my local retro game shop. #retrogames #shareyourgames
