About This Event

A workshop takes place on 1 November 2026 in Ilkeston for participants interested in repairing vintage computing hardware and legacy software. Attendees will gather to share troubleshooting tips, swap spare parts, and work on projects alongside others with similar interests. The session provides a casual environment for those who enjoy the technical challenge of retro computing regardless of their specific platform or skill level.

We are getting together for a session dedicated to breathing new life into old gear and dusty code. Whether you have a vintage machine sitting in your closet that needs a power supply repair, or you have been tinkering with some legacy software that has not seen a compiler in years, this is a space to work on those projects alongside others who share the interest. We want to create an environment where we can share troubleshooting tips, swap spare parts, and actually get these systems running again rather than letting them gather dust. This meetup is for anyone who enjoys the technical challenge of retro computing, regardless of your specific platform or skill level. It is a casual gathering, so feel free to bring along a project you are currently stuck on, a piece of hardware you are curious about, or just your enthusiasm for preserving computing history. We will have some workbench space available, and the main goal is simply to help each other solve problems and learn more about how these older systems function. If you are planning to come by, please let us know by hitting the RSVP button so we have a good idea of how many people to expect and how much workspace we need to set up. We look forward to seeing what you are working on.
