Taleya@aussie.zone 6 days agoThere’s a few mobs in moorabbin that specialise in older tech - got my CD player repaired there (europeanelectronics.com.au, although they mostly truck in sony). Moorabbin Television Services Pty Ltd I’ve heard good things about, apparently it’s an ex service bloke who’s just running it as a spinner on the side. AN Electronics are apparently not too shabby either, they’re in Huntingdale. There used to be a great one near the library in Mount Waverley I went to back in the day but I’m pretty sure they’re long gone.
Basically: look to your slightly shabby postwar suburbs.

Hey, you asked for retro gamer and equipment opinions :) (I keep a CRT for the atari…Games like asteroids go off the play screen on modern TVs)

I’ve been without a working CRT for far too long, it’s time! Of course the PC I’ll connect to is currently running an IDE spinning rust disk with an OS installed from floppy disk, because I’m a
glutton for punishmentstickler for authenticity :DNext mission is to find a monitor for C64 duties (because oh my god do LCDs destroy the output from one of those no matter what you try and feed it through!)
