I'm a cable guy and a few months ago I went to a customers home and they had tons of stuff in the garage. Apparently it was all leftovers from a big family estate sale due to deaths in the family......I digress! They said I could take whatever I wanted, and after glancing thought everything I saw a Commodore 64 box! It could have been anything inside but I didn't look because I didn't want to be rude. Once I got home I opened the box and to my amazement it was a BRAND NEW Commodore still in sealed plastics!

12:19 Jeez, that scared me half out of my skin! I thought something had gone horribly wrong!

And the rubber band was probably used for dampening the vibration of the fan

8-bit guy starter kit: C64, WD40, cleaning alcohol, screw driver, vinegar, peroxide, baking soda and a floppy disc

Maybe it's just me but I actually think the black painted lid looks really cool.

man that resin casting is genius. I would have just stuck a piece of acrylic on it.

The 8-Bit Guy not only restores computers. He restores my faith in humanity.

That "Test Spray Here" is a rather bad idea if you think about it.

If they don't have a separate rack for not for sale spray bottles solely for testing, imagine buying a spray can and finding out that someone half emptied it while testing.

Don't know if anyone else has suggested it but some places that sell paint for the autobody repair industry can mix custom colours and put them in a regular spray can.  They can even add flattening agents to get the right amount of sheen.  You could try taking in the unpainted plastic parts and see if you can get a match.  I'd try it on a spare piece of scrap plastic first to make sure the solvents don't melt the plastic.  I actually don't mind the two tone that you ended up with but if you wanted the original colour, it's an option.

It's too bad the 8-Bit Guy can't use fast-drying resin to fill the hole in my heart.

Mohs scale of hardness, you will always scratch the plastic a little with your screwdriver, I suggest using a hard plastic guitar pick, they don't last as long, but work just as well, with no fear of scratching

Anybody else get jump scared by bender.

+1 for Bender! Everything can be solved by bending! In fact, I'm gonna make my own Apple II+ with blackjack and hookers! Ah.. screw the Apple II+ and blackjack! ^_^

In the garbage?  what a waste. That was a good quality vintage rubber band.    lol

My dad thought the shot at 2:56 was pretty funny, since he works with some sort of video filming and editing, so he immediately thought about setting up the camera just to film yourself dropping some stuff in the garbage

The hole could've been used as a cup holder

Edit : lol

12:10 did anyone else just jump hard at the creaking noise in pain


also you know it just got real when he busted out a physical photograph of the keyboard layout instead of just busting out a phone

Oh thank god! My shitty Monday has become infinitely better!

"Finally something the 8 bit guy cannot restore, there's a huge hol...oh well didn't expect that"
