About

One shop, three jobs, the same skill.

We buy, sell and trade antique computers. We convert legacy code and modernize industrial systems for businesses that still depend on old machines. And we host video game birthday parties and classes on demand, with soldering classes, repair evenings and ethical AI salons on the way.

What ties it together is that we keep these machines running ourselves. Knowing the old hardware inside out is what lets us price a collection fairly, convert a forty-year-old program without losing what it does, and hand a ten-year-old a controller from 1982. That’s the whole plan — we keep old computing alive, for people and for businesses.
