Thanks for watching!
There are definitely Raiders hiding out in that building. Lovely, and slightly sad and spooky tour. I liked seeing all those little stickers over the doors. Thank-you both
Fantastic Trip! 👍🏻
Commodore will remain in our hearts forever😉
Dr. Chris you've got the best neighbors one could wish for... I'm jealous! Mine are very much alive, sadly.
We want Commodore back🤬 New Amiga for ever 💪
It was nice to see what had become of the companies that fueled our computer youth, it would have been nice to have a tour back in the day when Commodore were on top of the world.
Great video! It’s mindblowing that the MOS site is still undergoing cleaning 😅
Cleaners setup using their chips
Time travel! I already watch that video!
So surreal. Seeing these old buildings slowly waste away is always a weird reminder of how unavoidable time really is.
Great video Chris and Q cant but have some sad emotions seeing the derelict buildings for once they where great bring new technology to the world. Cheers
Awesome vid! Might have to go back and revisit the deathbed vigil and Bil Herds as well!
Hi Chris, You had a nice trip and good to see you again. Thanks for sharing with us. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands
Very interesting! Thanks for showing these hallowed grounds to us.
Nice day out, thanks for the video Chris & Q
Man I feel as though I watched this video already at least twice. Once recently, and the other a couple years ago......
Just passed Shady Maple yesterday on way to appointment.
I'd get inside and put a poster facing the outside. A poster of Mehdi Ali's face and the caption "First!!! I broke this company"......... Sweet you got that haunting music used in Dave Haynie's video for the fly over.
The repair, might have taken place, for a ruptured valve, after that large lunch,. 🙂I remember, with much sadness, the final day of Commodore video, and this brings back painful memories of the loss of such a (for me) treasured product line. My life on small computers, began with the Vic20, and I eagerly bought each successive improvement in the Commodore line up. C-64, Amiga 1000, A2000, A3000, and A4000, all of which I still own.
The next time you visit, the securityguy will hopefully recognize you. And just say: "Ohh, you again Chris."
Theres no security anymore
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration I believe the commenter meant security for the old Commodore / current QVC building. You and Q ought to email them a link to the videos.
We grew up in South Jersey, and as a little kid the world felt so small because the best computers in the world were made just an hour away. We could take a trip to Edmund Scientific or radio shack and get parts and play with the latest and greatest.
Brilliant this mate
3:23 quite neighbors, I guess.
Please retool the 1994 assembly line when you're there so we can get new chips.
Sure no prob
Ya, renovate and put 4-5nm small IC fab and redo all the MOS chips and sell. Maybe if Elon Musk and Eben Upton (RaspPI), Western Design Center, and that Commodore X16 guy, Apollo Vampire Amiga combined perhaps could bring it back to life and also maybe get some subsidizing from the US government to have a IC fab in the USA. The 80s were a golden age of microcomputers the big 4 (Apple, Atari, Commodore, and IBM pc); sure miss those exciting times. Otherwise, maybe they could house migrants there, heh.
All that history just gone / rotting away :(
Hmm Dr. Chris, do you live in the in the middle of a cemetery? Lotsa fun during Halloween I bet. :D Nice video btw. Too bad you did not accidentally stumble over a ton of NOS Amiga chips and stuff. :D

Sixty Ninth Comment!
I lived within driving distance of the area when the end came but had no idea where Commodore was in those pre-internet days.
Great video. Most interesting to see it so long after. But at 9:13 "Vigel" Swap that 'e' for an 'I' always after C= ?
Whoops, remember I’m dumb
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration No ya not.
Now I gotta decide if this tour video is objectively better than the Gatlinburg / Pigeonforge TN video
Did every single commodore custom chip come out of that MOS building or did production move somewhere else?
I believe that Gary in the A500 was produced in other fabs initially, then by MOS later on. By the time the A1200 rolled around there were at least 4 large IC's on the motherboard not counting the CPU not produced by MOS.
Most customs were designed there later as the more advanced 88 pin plccs came out like alice. They were subbed to HP later when mos chips were re branded as CSG they were mos chips The factory ran 24 seven 365.
Should have posed as Commodore Security😎
I am sure your neighbours are very quiet 😁
We get a new one now and then
have you 'urban explored' the place? looks disused?
its all locked up, Bil Herd went in it a few years back after my first video. with hackaday, its linked in the extended desc.
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration oh, nice. cheers big man
I would go back in time to that factory and warn them: "please dont create the CDTV, it will drain a lot of money away and almost nobody will buy it!"
I wonder if someone might go inside the building and shoot whatever is left of things inside. Didn't someone do that some years ago ?
linked in the desc.
The amount of buildings that are just left because then the authorities complain theres no where to build. Im sure one of the doors could accidentally open while you were there,you just never know 2hat discarded goodies could be left inside.
At 13:43 sounds like you were using the "sounds of a planet" as the background music, was it the sound of Uranus (pun intended)? Saturn had more turbulences in the sound...
Haha no was called creepy forest drm free stuff
Do you live next to a cemetery? That would be awesome id always be over there reading names and trying to find out who they were!
Genius. Hold Trick or Treat there BUT also hold the Easter Hide and Seek there for the kids 🧟♂
yes, every election year the dems come over and write the names of the recently deceased to vote dem. sad but true stuff.
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration are you serious about that? I dont drink the donkey kool aid so i dont know if you’re serious or joking! Lol.
No joke. True shit
Why are there so many cars parked 15:32 at the MOS building ? Are abandoned?
Used car lot uses it for storage
Someone is still mowing the grass
Alan-bradley has to pay for the epa cleanup and monitoring so thats who does
It would be funny if you guys said you're with QAnon.
shoud got in there could be some chips left in there you never know , or why not rent the building then nosy about lololol.
On the linked video from bil herd it was cleaned in 2021
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration metal detector there could be some buried treasure lol.
We found stuff all over the place but Kevin didn’t want to get aids or something
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration lol good one
