    Yes, just saw this as it was also mentioned on AA, there's no actual refurb (yet) as that is being decided by the comments section. The presentation is very similar to Adrian Black's way but thankfully missing the "Let's get right to it" cringey catch phrase that Adrian uses..

    Nice bit of history of the Atari which I presume was specially researched for the video as he didn't seem to familiar with the machine but rather the Amstrad and Speccy.

    Not sure what was going on with the keyboard test, he lifted the keyboard clear off the table and it was still doing random presses on screen.

    He already has got an Atari 400 but no xl range Ataris, no?. The "Hello cave dwellers" is less irritating than Adrian's "Let's get right to it" indeed! But I realise we follow the same Youtubers?...

    Yes I wondered why the 800xl registered keystrokes during autotest too, as he didn't seem to press them...
