Not a bad selection, if I do say so myself 🙂

This was one of my all-time favorite games as a kid, and I was surprised how quickly Tommaso picked up on the gameplay. It is stands up fairly well, and he spent a better part of this morning doing touchdown dances around the living room.

The owner of the TV repair shop is using a Commodore monitor as a test monitor. He has had it since he was a kid, and swears it’s the best test monitor ever. It was not for sale 🙁

No shit, this remote control has two different tones, and they would activate a motor on the TV that would change the channel. Trippy!

Is there anything more 80s than this vinyl record?

I got some bad news that the Quasar 25″ Tv I bought a month ago needed some major surgery. I committed to the necessary organ transplants, but in the meantime bought another old school TV for the exhibit because I am a chronic consumer. God save capitalism and the 80s.

Turns out the TV repair shop in Petersburg where I bought the Quasar TV was originally a video store, and they had custom built holders for videodiscs on their wood paneled walls. The owner of the shop showed them to me, and I decided I would build something like this myself, one day.

This piece of history actually works. We are working on getting a new needle and cleaning up the radio tuner.

We hadn’t yet moved the foosball in the living room, but you can get a sense of the space in this shot. And how about that love seat?

The faux wood panel entertainment center is pretty awesome. It actually has a whole side door for VHS tapes 🙂
