More recently, I sent him 3 malfunctioning Oric Atmos computers, all with screen snow and not booting to the welcome screen. What followed was truly amazing as he spent much dedicated time and (continuous) effort in fault-finding, diagnosing and repairing all 3 computers, in addition to outlining the faults in regular e-mails. I have to remark that his services are truly exemplary and very professional, often involving painstakingly testing continuity of tracks, removing corroded sockets and RAM, replacing obscure and redundant parts and soak-testing systems to factory-release standards of reliability. All 3 Atmos's work now, and they will certainly last another 50 years! The boards seem as though they have just been wave-soldered, clean, with no corrosion or dry joints. Mark even programmed some MaxDuinos for me (which he also sells), flashed with the latest firmware and included some software and cables to get me going. These were so inexpensive, but a good way to obtain software without tapes etc. His prices are very reasonable and I would highly recommend his services to all enthusiasts and collectors who might be struggling to get their vintage computers booted, or computers that have suddenly decided to fail! One thing that is for sure - static computers on shelves or on display are no fun, we all need bleeps, bells, whistles and BASIC code to re-launch us back to the glorious 80s! Thank you Mark! Ian

and was out of my depth/time to repair. Rude Dog gave me a full list of the issues and prices to fix them before work commenced. Work was done super quick and I had the A500+ back in working state. Work is very nice and tidy with a high quality of soldering. I was kept updated through the process as well. Very happy customer.

Rudedog Retros were introduced to me. I fired an email off, and within a short space of time Mark from Rudedog was going through the options that my poorly Spectrum would need to bring it back to full health. I packaged everything up and sent it off hoping that it wasn’t going to take an age as some repair companies couldn’t look at my Spectrum for up to 6 weeks. A couple of days later Mark messaged me to go through what he was going to do, he sounded very knowledgeable and a few days later he was back on to say it was all ready and he went through the return options. In exactly a week my Spectrum was back…… Working absolutely spot on, Mark even recommended a new RGB cable and sent me a link to order one. My Spectrum has never been better – Super sharp display, no background hiss. Everything cleaned and professionally serviced. I can’t recommend Rudedog Retros highly enough. Fantastic service at an amazing price. Many Many Thanks Dave Brown
