More L-100 mods, in the "erm, no" category (e.g. rewinding the drawbar output transformer).

Electrokinetica - Welcome edit / delete

London-based electromechical technology museum: they collect and restore things like generator sets and lifts. I came here via the excellent section on Compton church organs (the British equivalent of Hammond, using interestingly different technology).

TASVideos / Front Page edit / delete

Tool-assisted speedruns. These are often technically very interesting, although it mostly focusses on games I don't like very much (what Americans were playing in the early 90s, i.e. games for Japanese consoles). The NetHack speedruns here are pretty impressive.
