Retro Tech Insanity
I've moved to New Zealand but for some reason this channel info page won't update. My apologies to the few of you who have reached out asking for repair help from the states. Shipping round trip to NZ is slow, expensive and just isn't worth it for anyone.
Formerly known as Insanity's Basement... However, I've moved and they don't have basements here! Most of my retro stuff will revolve around Commodore products, but don't be surprised to find other old tech including game consoles, amateur radios, etc...
