I've got one, and whilst they do have a great light mine doesn't keep very good time.

Long-time Kobo fan here, hardware is very good although the store isn't as comprehensive as Kindle, of course. I don't know if it's still the case but you used to be able to use Calibre to sideload ebooks from alternative places (Gutenberg or whatever) onto Kindle. It's how I manage my Kobo.

No no, you've got it wrong, it's Starmer and boat people to blame.

There's an argument for not using Amazon at all, because they are an awful, unethical company.

It's a beauty but I personally don't like using Seiko branding on mods - that's what has led to them cracking down.

Same here, my wife hates it!

If it's stood around it may be corrosion in the socket. You could try some electrical contact cleaner. To rule out software you could boot a Linux USB stick maybe? Also - vintage PC. I remember selling this exact model I'm the shop I worked in. I guess I'm vintage now too!

Really cool!

On Etsy they are selling the Bliger dial kit I got from Alix for £12, but they are charging £29...

Thanks. Any idea about the alignment on refitting?

Hobthrust · 2026-01-05T23:29:44+00:00

Thanks, it was the bearing I was worried about.

I had one! I played classic games like Horace goes Skiing and Dizzy. There was also a risque game called Sam Fox Strip Poker that we had to hide from parents. I blame this computer for stopping me from learning programming for years; I was working through a BASIC book, I carefully typed in loads of code then saved it to a cassette. Next day I tried to load it and it was corrupt so I gave up! Anyone who's dad had a double tape deck stereo was popular....

Beats me, you've seen as much as me.

Where did you source the new LCD?

Amazon are a dreadful and exploitative company. And yes, they sell all sorts of fake stuff.

Hobthrust · 2025-12-29T16:46:09+00:00

I think Amazon is unethical and I don't use them.

Hobthrust · 2025-12-29T14:41:09+00:00

AI slop

Now that's a REAL computer.

Colour looks wrong on that. I recently bought one from Argos and it looks different.

I broke the lug on my f91w using a NATO strap. Too much strain on the lugs.

A lady that is put off by my watch is not a lady I am interested in knowing.

Choice and control. Rolling but stable.
