A chance to go "behind the scenes" with the channel with a slightly more informal, unscripted format wherein I talk about some of my ongoing projects, a few of my Atari collecting pickups and some future video plans. In this episode, I also open the monthly "gift" I bought with the money from my patreon supporters!

Some topics covered: Atari Video Music Restoration Update, Patreon Gift of the Month, USB Microscope, very rare Atari Sparrow prorotype motherboard, Atari SX212 1200 baud modem, a new book from Bitmap Books called The Games That Weren't, a VGA distribution amplifier to improve my capture setup, a variable resistor box, and a mystery box of goodies from Patreon supporter Dave Velociraptor!
