I think it's a good idea to simplify and move the mail call videos to the second channel. As much as I enjoy them it seems to me at least, that they really have become the main content on your channel over the last year or so. I much prefer watching you work on the items than just unboxing them. :)
@@lauram5905 Thank you for your kind words and support of the paint job. It seemed to be a mixed bag of people either liking it or hating it. At the end of the day Adrian loves it and that's what really matters.
You could always join the left and right sides of the stands with some thin plywood or other material to make the distance permanent and even more stable.
These have to be called Micro Mail Calls? Mini for the main channel, Micro for the 2nd. If you ever get sent an IBM 360, that would obviously be the Main Mail Call ;)
"I'll find a way to cover the top so dust can't get in the ports." -- Adrian Then a month later an inspired Stuart sends some contour-fitting C64 port covers for exactly that purpose. Honestly those are pretty cool stands and seem to do the job really well. And sounds like you'll be able to use them all quite nicely.
A couple of people have suggested supporting the stands with backing boards, I was going to suggest using drill rods. You can buy them at the hardware store in convenient sizes (e.g. 3/16" or 1/4"), cut to length with a cutoff tool, and then just drill holes and epoxy them in place. Light weight and unobtrusive.
Just my cranky old man observations but IMHO I think OLED screens should now be standard with the Gotek, because it's so much nicer to see what floppy image you have loaded. Also I don't know what 3D designer thought it was a good idea when designing the Gotek mount for the A500, A600 or A1200 to have the screen inside the case. It would get real tiring real fast to keep peering through the tiny floppy slot in the right side of the machine in order to see what's on the screen. Now back to my applesauce and evening newspaper. :P
I got sick of filament breaking when left in the 3D printer, so I now pull it out at the end of a print when it's still hot and it doesn't break anymore..
I love to see you sorting it all out Adrian. As a fellow content creator, I know how you feel when it comes to making video that you want to make versus making videos that you need to make.
Now I'm wishing these wall mounts existed for other computers, I'd love to also mount my CoCo 3, and maybe even a similar mount for my iBook etc. It looks like the most recent one also has the Fusion 360 file etc, I might have to take a hand at some remixes of this if someone doesn't beat me to it.
yeah it would be pretty great -- right now I'm standing stuff up against the wall on a shelf. It would be really cool to have something like that for my Atari 800XL and the Coco machines. Even an Apple IIc would be nice on the wall.
Truly, 3D printers are going to become aa much needed appliance. BTW Randy Rossi, the guy that's making the VIC-II KAwari, seems to be looking for beta testers for the finished product.
I don't know much about 3D printing but could someone design and print out dust covers for the openings and ports when a computer is on its stand on the vertical?
you could use some gorilla double stick tape to keep the commodore stands firmly planted, that will not fall down I almost guarantee, in fact you might have trouble unsticking them.
The 128 shoes should obviously be painted gold :) BTW you should check that foam often. Some of that Chinese stuff has residual chemicals and it may bind to the plastic of the case.
I do so love the C128 case! Art or no, it's a beautiful form factor! Adrian, do you know if anyone makes these cases, or something similar anymore? I would love to have one of that design for my Raspberry Pi 4! Thank you for the great vid as always, I like the new format - especially if it helps you get stuff out there in an easier fashion for you.
Stewart reminds me of a relative of mine. I've learned not to say 'I need to get x item' because I'll end up with 20 of them! It's not that I'm not grateful, I sincerely am, I just don't have the space!
Try to connect the to wall mounts with a pice of wood. Then i guess it would be easier to lift up and put the computer back and the stands will stay in the right position.
Would have been a lot longer LOL! (There was editing even in this video) Sometimes it just takes this much time to get through stuff when there is so much to look at ...
Those stands are quite neat, and I guess the Amiga 1200 ones would fit the 600 as I think the case profile is the same mostly, but having never had a 1200 I couldn't say for sure... :)
What you could do is move the unboxing portion of the mail call videos here, then as you get the time and related items together, you could put those into a mail call ‘review’ on the main channel?
🤔😉😀😀👍👍👌👌👍👍🤣🤣 Your videos are always great! Btw, you receive many parcels... P.S. I wouldn't mind to have so many subscribers as you! Perhaps one day... 🤔😉😀😀👍👍👌👌👍👍🤣🤣
Have you seen that amazing CRT monitor discovery by Cathode Ray Dude on auction with studio production cassette inside? 🎥👀😱😨 he released video recently
It would be great if the author of those C64 wall mounts you put the foam into could modify them, like flattening the bottom, in order to let them be used as actual desk stands. Are the STL files downloadable somewhere?
@@geekwithsocialskills there's something called freedom of speech so everyone is entitled to give his opinion in a public video; I don't care if it was your wife, your cat or a damn alien invading your garage who painted that monstruosity, it's an ugly thing regardless the author
@@geekwithsocialskills ohoho now you have reached bottom with the infamous "I'm an *FAKE / UNVERIFIABLE" to try to impress someone (only a 10 year old could, maybe?); again I stated a *FACT* which is totally independent of who painted it, who she's married to or if it rained unicorns that day (which could be the case giving the vomit-inducing color mixture that poor case ended up with); so again, I presented my opinion calling that thing for what it is: ugly; if you feel offended by it, nobody cares
@@geekwithsocialskills each to his own as they say, if Adrian likes it fair enough, but sorry, it is ugly in my opinion too.

I wouldn't be surprised if Stuart wasn't much of a wife kind of guy (wink, wink).
@@KernArc lolz I was thinking the same thing...
For the case stands on a desk, use the wall-mount holes to attach a backer board to hold the pieces together at the right distance

Mad props to the c128 artist. That thing is a beauty with a soul :)

I’m sad that people in the comments didn’t really like it, the design definitely matches the time the machine came from.
@@lauram5905 People are boring. I would clear coat the heck out of that thing just to make sure it lives on. I love it :D

2 and a half minutes just to open the first package? Nice.
THERE IT IS! THE T-SHIRT!
That 128 looks like it was meant to be displayed like that

I love that t-shirt! Someone needs to create a merch link so we all can have one!
Nice to see parts being made for classic computers like they do for classic cars.
I'm just loving the ziploc
2022: Adrian's Digital Basement /// channel introduces the Hyper Nano Mini Mail Call that is much shorter at only 25 minutes 🤣
Just my cranky old man observations but IMHO I think OLED screens should now be standard with the Gotek, because it's so much nicer to see what floppy image you have loaded.

29:28 Time for the merch store, Adrian. :)
I would connect the wall mounts together with either one or two wooden slats.
For the cartridge holder, now you need some white Vic 20 cartridge holders!
I love to see you sorting it all out Adrian. As a fellow content creator, I know how you feel when it comes to making video that you want to make versus making videos that you need to make.
I designed and 3D-printed a C64-cartridge holder just a few days ago, funny coincidence.
If the A2000 Gotek enclosure fits a Tandy 1000HX without a gap, there's your Septandy video...
Next up, wall-mount brackets for the C128DCR. :D
Now I'm wishing these wall mounts existed for other computers, I'd love to also mount my CoCo 3, and maybe even a similar mount for my iBook etc. It looks like the most recent one also has the Fusion 360 file etc, I might have to take a hand at some remixes of this if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Another t-shirt idea: 'Look At This!'
Funky foam can fix anything!
13:24 - It's a 'secret decoder ring' :)
I don't know much about 3D printing but could someone design and print out dust covers for the openings and ports when a computer is on its stand on the vertical?
I was just gonna say the same thing…
I dont understand why you think you need to change the way you do things. i always enjoy your videos !!!!!! They Freaking Work !!!!
you could use some gorilla double stick tape to keep the commodore stands firmly planted, that will not fall down I almost guarantee, in fact you might have trouble unsticking them.
Now you’ve done it… saying you don’t have an A1200 means next you know you’ll have a dozen of them
The 128 shoes should obviously be painted gold :) BTW you should check that foam often. Some of that Chinese stuff has residual chemicals and it may bind to the plastic of the case.
How about telling Stewart to slow it down and show items from other folks.
Yeah, it's becoming a bit dull.
You should worry about how those foams and plastics might interact chemically with that old ABS
Stewart's Digital Basement! LOL!
I do so love the C128 case! Art or no, it's a beautiful form factor!
Adrian, do you know if anyone makes these cases, or something similar anymore? I would love to have one of that design for my Raspberry Pi 4!
Thank you for the great vid as always, I like the new format - especially if it helps you get stuff out there in an easier fashion for you.
Instead of the foam you could use a bit of velcro on the back to hold the computer in.
If you don't want to move the displayed computers on the shelves, you can use some clear double sided tape on the foots to keep the stands in place.
10:10 The Checkmate case is of course based on the Amiga 3000, so that was a fair guess.
t-shirt is awesome.. lol

so many stands for old computers lmao
Adrian, one comment about your doing second channel mini mail calls, “It freakin works!”
I've never heard of a computer being called a breadbin.
Pink is not ugly!
The displayless-Gotek mount is probably for Amiga 500 with a OSD-hack for Gotek.
Awesome video 👍
Try to connect the to wall mounts with a pice of wood. Then i guess it would be easier to lift up and put the computer back and the stands will stay in the right position.
This works great. Rather have you bang them out than burn out on them and give up.
I miss my Commodore stuff!!
gonna do quicker videos
Video beeing 32min short :-)
But why not try a Livestream?
Would have been a lot longer LOL! (There was editing even in this video) Sometimes it just takes this much time to get through stuff when there is so much to look at ...
Hi Adrian, you could screw two bread bin mount back to back so two commodore would sit together in a more stable way.
Those stands are quite neat, and I guess the Amiga 1200 ones would fit the 600 as I think the case profile is the same mostly, but having never had a 1200 I couldn't say for sure... :)

You need to watch that C128 stand to make sure it doesn't mar that custom paint job,...
Stuart has outdone himself once again!! Really good job!!
I strongly suspect that the two stiletto-heel shaped tabletop holders are for a Commodore 128 flat.
I suppose you (or Stewart) could print a third "high heel" for the A500 to provide support in the middle, just to be safe. Same for the C128.
Give that man an A1200! ;-)
I want a Stuart...

@Adrian, how big is your house? You are getting tons of Packages every week - where do you store those Things?
For the skinny one Stewart could make one with flat feet instead of curved. It would be stable.
Bohus Blahut!
Ahh, the C(olourful)128. I recall that artwork wasn't well received by the audience. I even tried to defend it & got pushback in the comment section.
its called a profile..... :D
Isn't there a risk that the bright pads bleeds on to the plastics?
Om-glob, Adrian, can you guys please collab and make that shirt available?? I neeeeed one!! (I would also buy it as a shop apron.)

Always a pleasure too watch your channels. Just curious is your day job also electronics or is it only hobby?
super mini? is that like an extra long mini? when are we going to get a 2 hour mailcall?
Im getting a little curious about this Stuart guy who sends you all this stuff, can you get him on the channel? Maybe a zoom call!
Profile is the shape name you were brain hunting…
I have a Checkmate case
Adrian 👍
The SMMC: "Super Mini Mail Call" turned out to be an SMMC: "Stuart Maxi Mail Call" again... 😀
For mail call video, really not require lot of effect or camera angle.
