π Hi, Iβm Dave β I run The Retro Bristolian, a UK-based retro electronics business.
My work focuses on the repair, restoration, modification, and reproduction of classic computers, consoles, and related electronic hardware. Alongside hands-on repair work, I develop small-batch hardware, PCB kits, and supporting tools, and publish technical documentation to support preservation and repeatable repair.
- Retro electronics repair and fault-finding
- Classic computers and consoles
- Custom hardware and PCB design
- Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and embedded projects
- Vintage Hi-Fi, CRT displays, and arcade hardware
- Open technical documentation and preservation
- Hardware-related utilities and tools
- Test code and firmware for retro projects
- Reference material and supporting scripts
- Open documentation linked to active projects
Iβm open to collaboration where it aligns with retro hardware repair, documentation, or preservation-focused projects.
