In 1985, at 13 years old, I unwrapped my first Commodore 64 on Christmas morning. That’s where my interest in computers began.
Nearly 40 years later, I found my way back to retro computing and began restoring classic systems, bringing them back to full working order so they can be enjoyed again. What started as a way to reconnect with those early memories, has grown into a weekend business dedicated to carefully restoring and preserving vintage computers from the golden age of home computing.

Maybe you’ve got an old PC sitting in the loft or wardrobe — and you’d love to see it running like it did back in the day. I carefully clean, service, repair and upgrade vintage systems so they’re reliable, safe and ready to enjoy again, while keeping their original character intact.

Or maybe you no longer have your old computer — but you remember it. That’s where my bespoke bundle service comes in. I source, build, test and configure the computer and add classic games of your choice — then safely package and ship it ready to plug in and relive the experience.

This computer had seen better days, it was very dirty, yellowed with age and missing a key but was in good mechanical condition.
The restoration process started with dismantling the computer and removing the keyboard and all the keys. After a thorough clean, I used the retro-brightening process to restore the original colour.
Once the restoration is complete, all computers are fully tested and full diagnostics run to ensure that you can just plug in and play your classic machine.
