Title: 1990's Beady Computer
Post by: picitup on December 27, 2015, 11:40:32 am

Hi All I hope you enjoyed the xmas break if you took one.

I worked for a computer dealer in the '90s and my mate, who was not into electronics, called all components 'beady things' and if a board had gone faulty he'd say that one of the beads had probably broken.

So I built him a beady computer.  If you squeeze the two chrome blazer buttons on the left, it would play a tune.  I think I got the music electronics from a pair of xmas socks I owned.

Any road up, here's a pic:

That could be a really good teardown.
