ZX81 Vacuum Tube Repair

The 1983 Sinclair ZX81 has once again decided to make me wrestle with its vacuum tubes. I gave it a gentle shiver of solder flux, listening to the hiss as if it were a sigh of relief. It refuses to boot, as if mocking my patience, yet the faint glow of its green display reminds me that every stubborn glitch is a story waiting to be told. A gentle reminder that even in a world that has long since moved on, the past still insists on being heard. #TinkerLife ⚙️
