Vintage Recap Europe
for all your Retro Machine needs
Retro Recapping and Repair
Service for Europe
Here are some videos I have been making over the years while repairing and Learning about Macs and other machines. I started out with 68000K Macs and started to tinker with all kinds of machines.
What they all have in common is that ...... they are all old machines.
You will find allot of useful information in here on correct procedures......and NOT BLOODY CORRECT PROCEDURES!!!.................BANG so to speak procedures !!!
Its all good
Enjoy

Midi on an Macintosh Classic.
Little Demo of midi sequencing on a Mac.
I giged for many years using a Mac SE , live on stage. Used a program called Master Tracks Pro4. Here I have Master Tracks Pro 5
Took some time to find all the bits but I got it working.
I only have a drum machine hooked up, but it shown the basic concept of recording midi and playing it back. Jasus.... The memories.

After uploading the video above... I just couldnt resist.
This is me about 20 years ago rocking out to one of my own tunes. I have a Mac SE, running MasterTracks Pro 4, driving a Roland D50 and a Roland R70 drum Machine.
This was before the Internet, Poxy 'smart phones', and a time when there were no short cuts. You wanted to get a skill..... you bloody worked hard to get it!!!!!!
Sweet jesus......... I had hair once!!!!!!
ROCK ON MAN!!
