"From clocks to mixers, from radios to jackets, almost anything that could fit through the door was examined, diagnosed, and put back in working order. While the volunteers can't tackle anything too out there or too large, they make sure to stitch, staple, and suture what they can mend. "This year, Keegan Story and the rest of the volunteer handymen and women were happy to help fix 80 per cent of the items brought to them. " 'Electronics and appliances are one of our busier areas,' shared Story. 'Today they fixed a kid's toy DVD player, a vacuum cleaner and a few other miscellaneous electronics.' "One of the special booths at this event was the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PinballMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinballMachine</a> corner. Kids were infatuated as local Pinball Wizard/technician Darwin Gooding built one of his '70s machines and let them play with the finished product."Other interesting fixes were computers, mechanical clocks, clothing, and just about anything and everything else that Swift Current brought out. "The goal of the Repair Café is to mend items that normally would go in the trash. Be it their disposable nature, or the unrealistic monetary nature of certain fixes, this bi-yearly event unshackles practicality in favour of keeping what is old, new, and what is broken, pristine. A child learns about circuitry, causing a rotor to fly up, up, and away!A child learns about circuitry, causing a rotor to fly up, up, and away!" 'We've got a lot of people here that are handy that just like to offer their support,' said Story. 'We're keeping some stuff out of the landfill and keeping some money in people's pockets.'"The next Repair Café will be held on October 25, 2025. Anyone looking to volunteer is encouraged to reach out via the Repair Café website or to contact them on Facebook."<a href="https://swiftcurrentonline.com/articles/repair-caf-sews-bolts-and-seals-up-the-leaky-slow-and-damaged" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://swiftcurrentonline.com/articles/repair-caf-sews-bolts-and-seals-up-the-leaky-slow-and-damaged</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafesCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafesCanada</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaskatchewanCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaskatchewanCanada</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuildingCommunity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReduceReuseRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReduceReuseRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReuseRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReuseRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a>

Tim StevensReally happy to share some final before and after pics of our latest pinball restoration project, a 1985 Williams Comet pinball machine. We finished off the last few tweaks over the weekend. It was in pretty rough shape when we got it and we've spent many, many hours cleaning and painting and replacing components to get it looking close to new. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pinball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pinball</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pinballmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pinballmachine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pinballlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pinballlife</a>
