CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 21hThe batteries for my IBM 4612 were some of the most incredible damage I have ever seen in a battery. 030
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 27/09/2026Broken selfie stick, $3 clown nose and a bit of rubber cement. Now I got a telescoping pointing stick! *Fear Me!*. >:D 4203
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 26/09/2026Here's a few other photos I considered for the thumbnail. The scratches and glare made it annoyingly hard to really present a lot of detail on the screen. 492

CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 21/09/2026When you loan things to “that friend” and you drop in to ask if you can get your keyboard back. 0132
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 18/09/2026The ferrous nature of JB Weld means that something as easy as gluing a magnet to a driveshaft can be a chore. It keeps sucking up all of the epoxy and wearing it rather than letting it puddle underneath. 281
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 16/09/2026This is a factory made ribbon cable for a tape drive. What the hell were you on, Wangco? 2145
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 14/09/2026I don't remember the Galaxy S looking like that but...I like this alternate reality. 0111
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 13/09/2026One person left #VCFmw without a muffler. One person left VCFmw with a new friend. 🥹 3233
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 13/09/2026I'm hoping everyone is enjoying VCF MidWest because I got a sunburn today. >:T 1101
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 11/09/2026In VERY late-breaking news I have been informed that due to a catastrophic and unexpected budget shortfall, the VCF MidWest Planning Committee was only able to rent four tables and a small ball pit. Load-in starts tomorrow. Good luck. 86412
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 09/09/2026Hearing people chatter about how Apple is going to release a folding iPhone and how it's going to change everything, forgetting that the best flip phone ever made has existed already for 30 years. 3226
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 01/09/2026Because I’m not gonna pay $150usd per cable. This is why the VCF free pile exists! 🤪 Thanks to whoever was dumping the shielded ribbon cable at VCF West. I’m making good use of it right now! 1122
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 01/09/2026I've lived away from Ontario for too long but it still hits me in the childhood when you see stuff like this happening because it means you were not the only person in Southern Ontario who remembered Knob Hill Farms as a kid. 231
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 23/08/2026For software, I *DO* have physical packs at this time but resource constraints currently don't make it possible for me to dump them and current imaging tools don't recognize the Four-Phase Filesystem, much less any drive emulators. For these I'll absolutely need help at some point. 061
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 23/08/2026Worked last night and early this morning getting these uploaded. archive.org/details/8760... - The engineering handbook archive.org/details/siv-... - Machine Instruction Handbook archive.org/details/siv-... - Series IV Reference Summary archive.org/details/siv-... - VISION System Reference Card 192
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 22/08/2026I love how the console kids got so drunk on PVM’s and the RGB placebo, this PVM-8040 hit the VCF West free pile because “it’s so basic it’s not worth repairing” and with three caps in the PSU, it’s been running fine all week. You people suck. Get a real skillset and stop reading Reddit. 6282
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 21/08/2026I had to make the dumbest printer cable I’ve ever seen today. 5693
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 20/08/2026Found an old newspaper at work today. On this episode of Marketing Disasters… 183
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 14/08/2026And I can confirm they both work. Not as sensitive as the FD-2A but still good enough for me to watch TV on my lunch break. 061
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 13/08/2026Oh crap I posted the reassembled pic of the other one. Here you go. This is both of them working. 2102
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 13/08/2026It’s wednesday. That means it’s time to repair a Watchman with battery damage and carbon tracking. 1141
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 09/08/2026“Yeah, that’s a blue box.” - Woz, for the ten seconds after his talk at VCF West before he was quickly escorted back to his car by event security (seriously, he was in and out via a sideroomwith no off-mic talk time or a walk-through and that sucked.) 1182
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 08/08/2026...or not? Hmm, the Model I uses FX 5500's and the model III the same. The model II actually uses the FX 4500 *X2*, so close, but not exactly the same. Meh, beggars can't be choosers. I don't think in this day and age anyone will notice. ;) 050
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 08/08/2026Found the rest hiding in a box, but the SLI cable is MIA. This now makes it a Quadro Plex 1000, Model II. 150
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 07/08/2026And I’ll explain a little more about this printer but I recommend you also watch Compu85’s video. 060
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 07/08/2026Nobody tell LGR that a 43 year-old Canon PJ-1080A just worked after one bad tantalum and a nozzle clean. ;) 2243
CelGen Studios @celgen.org · 06/08/2026We’ll that and a strong brush seems to of removed 90% of it. *phew!* 060
