Commodore SX-64 Restoration -- Episode 409

Matt enjoys working with retro computer and gaming platforms, so when a friend asked if he wanted to come to take an "old Commodore laptop" off his hands, he jumped at the chance! The machine had obviously seen its better days, but Matt would not be deterred from such an extreme restoration challenge! Will the SX-64 come back to life? Watch as Matt repairs and rebuilds a relative retro computing rarity, restoring it to its former glory so he can finally play Planet X2!
