Atari 400 Retro Restore - Will this 40+ year old computer still work?

Retro Gaming Banter is finally back. It's been a bit of a crazy several months with various real life stuff getting in the way, but we are back!

I am giving an #Atari 400 the #retro restore treatment in this video. I originally purchased it earlier this year and started work on it in late April. Then a whole bunch of stuff happened one after another and got in the way. Hopefully now I can get back to more regular videos!

We disassemble the Atari 400 and clean everything up. We then retrobright the case and fix any issues found. We then test the Atari 400 with the SDrive MAX cassette tape and disk emulator (https://atari8bit.net/tutorials/de-re....
