How to Build a Commodore VIC-20 from Salvaged Parts

In this episode of Retro Now, I show you how to build a vintage Commodore VIC-20 using salvaged parts bought on the Internet. I also try out the Penultimate+ cartridge from The Future Was 8 Bit. Join me as I take you through my search for the parts I need, and then put them all together to make another functioning vintage machine and save it from the scrapheap.
