I just wanted to say thank you to everyone. It is really nice to see that you liked this small restoration job of mine. Also, I would like to thank Chef Peri for making this awesome video - it is a top-notch work! I must admit that I did a lot of mistakes while working on this unit. It is all described in details on my blog. However, because of learned lessons you can expect way better outcome with my future extreme refurbishing projects ... and there are quite a few. I just need more time ;)
Wow.. I'd guess somebody deliberately smashed up that machine at some point. I have to admit even I was surprised that it could be restored that well. I wish there were more video of the molding process because that's something I could use some help with!
Unfortunately that's all we have as Pete likes to just get on with the work rather than film (must be nice!) but I'll mention it for future molds. If only we had some kind of TARDIS to go back in time and watch the process... 😉👍
The 8-Bit Guy Right? It was bad. The first thing that came to mind was that poor VIC-20 you recently restored. I was like "damn, this is even worse!" You did a great job with that refurb, btw (as did Pete with this 800xl)
Dave, I'll try to cover more details while writing posts with upcoming restorations. A lot of mistakes were made during this job and that can be now avoided :) I've described it all in a blog post.
@@RetroRecipes I still remember K9's last appearance in one of the tenth Doctor episodes, "School Reunion", where he destroyed the Krillitane Oil, knowing it would destroy him as well. Headmaster: "Bad dog!" K9: "Affirmative!" Until that episode, I had no idea that a robot dog could sound so *smug.* :-D
Louisiana 1987. I was 4 years old, I received a secondhand Atari 800XL from my Grandmother. It sat by my bedside with a small black and white tv and I played it almost everyday. Choplifter, Ms Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Jungle Hunt, even practicing typing. I was a teenager when my mother smashed my Atari 800XL with a hammer and threw it away. Leaving only a single keyboard key to remind me. Probably coincidental that you restored the exact model that I had, with similar damage. But in a way, it's like you really did restore the one my mom broke all those years. This video is an amazing restoration. and in some way it has restored special memories to me. Thanks 👍✨
Probably a coincidence. Only God knows. The one I had was thrown away in Livingston, Louisiana some time between 1994-97 and had been struck with a hammer several times, specifically the keyboard. and when it was thrown away, it was put on top of the garbage so someone could see it.
The 800 XL was my first ever computer. My mum bought it for me for Christmas when I was about 11. I still remember it fondly, thank you for bringing this one back to life.
Just bought a 65XE with a few issues. After watching this, I got motivated and had a go at my own refurbishment. So glad I did.. love these old 8bit Atari’s 😁
Wow....cannot believe it turned out so well! I figured with that messed up plastic, it would have meant a case swap....but in the end, you can't tell it was ever broken!
This is by far the most inspiring restoration ive seen on a retro computer, it really shows you can restore almost any machine with dedication. Awesome video, you just gained a new subscriber.
We all did... JESUS that thing was bad but this takes the cake! I honestly can't believe it could be fixed at all. They really don't make things the way they used to!
Hey man just found this channel, loving the content! I love refurbish videos, there is a special place in heaven to people who appreciate and take care of old technology. Altough I am a tad too young to have used these machines (im from dos/win95 era) I would love to have the chance to use one someday. Keep the good work!
I feel like Ive stumbled upon the Bob Ross of computer repair. I was legitimately disappointed when you said "beat the heck out of it" instead of "beat the devil out of it" lol
Yeah this guy is like he could be easily be selling iphones or something, not looking/sounding like a typical retro nerd (whatever "typical" a retro nerd is like). No offense.
That is amazing. Anyone else would have done their best to get it working and just sourced a new case. Great to see so much care and attention put into these old machines. Ive subscribed.
The circuit board itself is actually made out of layers of fiberglass, not silicon. Common mistake! Very clever idea on repairing the cracked circuit board. I'm an electrical engineering specializing in circuit board design myself, and I've never thought of doing that personally! I'd probably have just remade the bare board in Altium and had a brand new bare board made at a board fabrication house and then transfer over what components were still working. Good on you guys for finding a way to salvage the original.
just use vires to repair broken traces ... thats pretty comon fix ... no one will do it that way you mention ... it will cost like 10 working atari computers :D
I have on a occasion restored old video game machines and I have to say, truly a superb job here. I really like the case repair and your attention to restoring the electronics (nice soldering on the board by the way). A+ work!
I've seen EVERY retro computing video on TH-cam and I'd never seen such an amazing restoration job. Congrats and thank you for taking us through the whole process! That's one lucky computer!
Some love goes into that..you had another keyboard and still restored the old one!!. The case work is seriously Impressive. Yeah maybe not perfect just 100% improvement. Like people say, most would just swap out the old housing..not even imagine to attempt that!!. When those metal pins went in I thought WTF I never imagined it turning out like that..total Genius hats off to you!!!
I don't think I have seen worse, except maybe the 8-bit's Guy restoration when he had to consult with an expert to fix the board. Overall I like the video, except the arrogant jokes(?).
thisone was my first computer i feel nostalgic and sad when i remember the day i threw it away because i wasnt working anymore. nothing else but thank you for bringing back this honorable restoration/refurbishing of this amazing device.
I had my doubts about the case at first but well done, you pulled it off and it looks amazing, my mate had one of these when we were kids and spent hours on it 😀
Well, let me catch my jaw which lies on the floor before I tell you "what an amazing job ! At the beginning of the video I thought that the poor XL would never come back to life. When I see the result ... It' like all new ! You're the one retrocomputer lover, man !
I just found this channel. Subbed immediately. Absolutely awesome. You're like the plastic surgeon of restoring this stuff. You also give off that Bob Ross vibe. I love it.
You did a great job at refurbishing an Atari 800XL personal home computer system. Any fan of the Atari systems would be proud to have this refurbished computer. 👍
Absolutely brilliant! Personally I would have just stripped it for any useful parts, but what you managed to pull off is just incredible. I have never seen anyone create molds for use in something like this, will definitely have to take a closer look at this approach to case repair in general. I am curious to know how long this project took. It certainly must have taken quite a while, there was a Huge amount of work to be done for sure - Thumbs up on this, once again incredible job on the restoration. (one less piece of history in the landfill).
Just discovered this channel today. This refurb is awesome - It's great that you've rebuilt and saved a machine, even though it's not a particularly rare one, when it would be just so easy to not bother, and salvage what parts you could from it. All credit to you for this great job!
That poor little machine sure looks like it fell out of a 747 at flight level 300 straight onto the peak of the Empire State Building - really hurts to see such abuse. *Thank you for letting us witness the marvellous resurrection of this beauty* - and I say that although I've never been an Atari fanboy ;)
I'm an Atarian. SO Great video! I love all retro computers, but as I spent a lot of time with an 800XL, than later various STs and a lynx, I am grounded in Atari. I have an 800, 800XL, 2 x lynx, also a 1040 STE. All the tape players and 5 1/4 inch drives that go with the above. Oh I forgot, I have an unused boxed Woody. Get them out and just look at them once in a while. I don't really use these as prefer to use emulation on my Nvidia Shield TV. I have other systems but have a real soft spot for Atari. The Atari in this video is really brought back from the dead, really inspirational. Just noticed what looks like an apple 2e behind you. When the company I worked for closed our office in 1993, in the office below ours were two apple 2es, I really wanted to take them home but was worried it might be considered theft, even though the were abandoned. Following week went back to check on our old office only to find some complete wankers had broken in and smashed everything to pieces, including both the apples. I so regretted not taking at least one of them home. It was an import clearance office in Dover, closure was due to European integration.
Some may ask why go through this trouble... You can ask the same to some car enthusiasts repairing wrecks to their new state. One particular restauration I know is a Jaguar E Type race car (Lindner/Knöcker) which was beyond any reasonable repair. They did it anyway with as much original parts as they could. Great job.
It almost makes me cry thinking about what that poor old thing went through to be in that condition. And good to know I'm not the only one who leaves protective films on forever (I think my Falcon030 still does)! ;-)
That is a lot of dedication for that Atari. My first computer was an Atari 800XL, still have it but I have a quarter sized hole on the top right of the case. Was wondering how I should fix it, or just replace the top case.
What I did was I simply went to a car paint shop and told guys there to make me two cans of a custom color. Then they scanned an inside of a case with a color scanner and based on that readings created a custom paint. I also wanted it to be matt. It turned out to be a cool idea. Since then, I am getting all my paints from this shop for all my projects. - Pete
I've watched my fair share of restorations, but this is by far the most impressive I've seen yet. Just amazing work, you've got some real talent. Liked and subbed!

Aside from probably retro-brighting the yellowed keys, this is perfect. Wow!
I've seen some crazy restorations, but this one takes the cake.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.
That is exactly that, Bob Ross of computer repair 😀
Working the miracle that you did with that Atari 800xl deserves my subscription........Done and done!
Your voice sounds like this is some kind of yoga meditation video.
And now we move from bending the pins to bending the legs and finally, dog pose 🐶👍🕹️💤
It kinda is, hugely satisfying soul meal type of restoration
Bob Ross vibes
hes like Bob Ross if he repaired computers
EDIT: beat me to it, i didn't look
Yeah this guy is like he could be easily be selling iphones or something, not looking/sounding like a typical retro nerd (whatever "typical" a retro nerd is like). No offense.

Sweet dreams 👍🕹️💤
INCREDIBLE! Glad to see some love given to restoring this 800XL which is, in my opinion, the best Atari computer they ever made. THANK YOU!
This is pure talent. These requires patience and precision. You sir deserve every sub and like.
Best renovation atari i ever seen :) Cheers from Poland! Not let die retro computers!
I cried all the way through your video. First with tears of sadness then with tears of joy.

I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you for restoring such beautiful machine.
That was so amazing...! After viewing this, I walked over to my pristine 800xl sitting under its official dust cover, and smiled approvingly.
Awww sweeet!
...and smashed it up so you could do your own refurb.
As a fellow user of these machines since my childhood days, I can simply admire this beautiful masterpiece. Bravo!!
Subed! I like the fact that you fix the existing parts instead of replacing them. Great job!
Wow, nice job. The molding is nice - I have considered it, but never done it. Great intro, to wet my appetite. Thanks!
Amazing work! You have pleased the god of old computers.
Best refurbish i 've ever seen in my life !. Congratulations Pete. You are the man!
Thank you! He sure is! 👍🕹️
Absolutely impressive. One of the best restoration jobs I've seen.
Just discovered your channel. Oh my god. Amazing craftsmanship! Simply stunning!
Thanks for watching! 😊 Now then, how bad do you want to peel that film off? 😉 Let me know below! 👍🕹️
leave the film on until you get a replacement for that piece of clear plastic on the right which is still scratched to hell..
I don't think I have seen worse, except maybe the 8-bit's Guy restoration when he had to consult with an expert to fix the board. Overall I like the video, except the arrogant jokes(?).
Have you thought about retrobrighting those keys from the keyboard to remove the yellowing?
Stay tuned for my next video on that subject 😉👍🕹️
fun things,but, in a way i feel you are wasting your time on these things, you could use your talent on new inventions and stuff instead
this channel deserves more subs than what it already has, this content is amazing
Absolutely AMAZING restoration!!

I'm an Atarian. SO Great video! I love all retro computers, but as I spent a lot of time with an 800XL, than later various STs and a lynx, I am grounded in Atari. I have an 800, 800XL, 2 x lynx, also a 1040 STE. All the tape players and 5 1/4 inch drives that go with the above.
Oh I forgot, I have an unused boxed Woody. Get them out and just look at them once in a while.
I don't really use these as prefer to use emulation on my Nvidia Shield TV.
I have other systems but have a real soft spot for Atari.
The Atari in this video is really brought back from the dead, really inspirational.
Just noticed what looks like an apple 2e behind you.
When the company I worked for closed our office in 1993, in the office below ours were two apple 2es, I really wanted to take them home but was worried it might be considered theft, even though the were abandoned.

If I were you I'd try to repair it rather than lose half of your original childhood computer. I hope this video helps. 👍🕹️
What color white paint did you use?
What I did was I simply went to a car paint shop and told guys there to make me two cans of a custom color. Then they scanned an inside of a case with a color scanner and based on that readings created a custom paint. I also wanted it to be matt. It turned out to be a cool idea. Since then, I am getting all my paints from this shop for all my projects. - Pete
