The RND2

I find, explore, fix, and preserve the electronics that defined the 70s, 80s, and 90s. N64. SNES. Genesis. Vintage PCs. Arcade cabs. Maker builds.

I'm the guy who fixed that thing you thought was dead.

Rob. RND2, short for Robert Daniel II. IT sysadmin in Flint, Michigan. I got access to my father's brand new IBM PC in 1984 at age four. Fixed my first pinball machine at 13. Taught myself to solder. MacGyver, Knight Rider, Airwolf. Not just shows. The operating manual.

New series: Shelf Life. A shelf ten years deep in broken things, each one a question I never answered. Each episode I pull one down and don't stop until I know why it died. The win isn't that it works. The win is knowing why. Premieres September 12, 2026.

Streams: Tuesdays and Saturdays, 7pm Eastern on Twitch.
