Just spotted in my TV guide that there's a episode of Retro Electro Workshop on UK Freeview channel Yesterday @ 9PM tonight.

Radio Times summary:

Shamil and Rob head out to a vintage gaming emporium and they get their hands on a Commodore 64 and a Spectrum ZX

Radio Times review:

PC users of a certain age will experience a Proustian rush during tonight’s episode of the delightful gadget-rescuing series. Treasure-hunter Shamil and master fixer Rob Howard visit a vintage computer emporium, where they snap up a Commodore 64 and a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. These 8-bit bestsellers were rivals back in the 1980s. Once Rob has both back in working order, we’ll discover which is the most sought-after 40 years later.

Might be worth a view for a trip down memory lane.

I am confused... 8th August is today .....
Or it is a TV Channel called "Yesterday" ?

Good tip, I will get that recorded. Channeel 159 on Freesat.

Back in the day I was an Engineer at AB Electronics, across several locations we used to assemble bits of the Spectrum, at my factory it was keyboard stuffing.
