Repair workshops are events which are open to the general public where members of all levels technical abilities and experience get together to help each other repair vintage computer artifacts and software. We are not there to do repairs for you, but to allow you the facilities and partnership to help you figure out to repair it. Usually, we will have a signup Google Sheet where we let others know what we are working on and which items we are bringing for repair. This helps others know if they want to work together or just bring tool or software to help with your project. The signup sheet also helps the organizers to plan on how many are coming.
Repair workshops are held about 6 times per year at the InfoAge location in Wall, NJ and about 2 times per year at the System Source location. Each location has specific information, dates and time. Check on the individual pages for more information.
