RetroWorkshop is a YouTube channel featuring repairs and restoration of retro technology. This website contains links to the channel videos, along with supplementary information and photographs.

The first project undertaken was the restoration of a Sinclair C5. This is the electric vehicle created by Sir Clive Sinclair in 1985. It was a commercial failure, but today has a keen following amongst enthusiasts and certainly turns heads.

I’m also interested in electronics and have made some repair videos on the following devices:

  • Sinclair Spectrum computer – another of Sir Clive’s products, the classic computer from 1982.
  • Jacob Jensen telephone – as used by Lord Sugar in “The Apprentice”
  • JVC broadcast monitor – great for retro computers
  • Technics 1210 – classic DJ turntable

More videos are in the pipeline, although the release schedule is rather sporadic.

I hope you enjoy this site, and the videos.

Dave.
