Repairs
A date with Ms Pacman
25/06/07
Been doing a huge amount of board
repairs lately and on the whole I've been too busy with it to be
able to document them and put them up on the website. This evening
however I fixed a Ms PacMan board and figured I'd write it up while
it was fresh on my mind! It's "Pacman 3" on the left.
More asteroids

Yet another asteroids repair log added
- will need a whole website dedicated to them soon!
Vectrex fun
27/12/05
Well, after picking up a faulty
Vectrex shortly after the recent Retro Ball, and with the hideously
boring xmas out of the way, today I set about finally finishing up
the fixes to this Vectrex to save it from the scrap heap!
Asteroids
13/11/05
Been doing a LOT of Asteroids repairs
this last week and while most of them have been so involved I've
not remembered to keep track of what I've been doing, and some have
not been on my own boards, I fixed one this evening that had an
interesting point of note (the 7404 at H10) so added it to the
logs.
Mr Do!

Mr Do! log added...
Also changed from the PC world to the Mac world and am doing quite a lot of internal work on the site to reflect this. I hope to be incorporating a blog / diary / call it what you will which will firstly allow me to maintain this home page better, and secondly will allow me to add a diary of my experiences with the switch to the Mac. Yes, I know, not arcade related, but hey, hopefully interesting none the less. In fact, may have a couple of non arcade related things coming up for the site sometime soon...

Repair logs
02/06/05
All the useful repair logs are up for
now (not as many as i'd thought). I have more but they're not
complete yet. I also have a bucket load of notes on Tron board
repairs but these need sorting through and probably some of the
boards fixing up first. I basically have lots of MCR boards but
none of them are mine and all are individual cpu, vidgen or ssio
boards and before i can really post much info up on them i need to
work through them and match them up as much as possible. Anyone got
any spare interconnects by any chance??
Repair logs coming...
01/06/05
Over the last few years I've been
keeping a log of all the board repairs I've done (well, some of
them anyway) and I've finally decided to put some of them up for
all to view
They're all written up in a humerous and (hopefully) useful manner and not just of the form chip X was causing fault Y. Hopefully it will give you some insight into my thinking as well as just what the faults were and how they were cured. I also don't hide my mistakes either - so no rolling around the floor laughing or emailing me if you know better
Obviously if you know better on a repair log that says it's still unresolved then by all means feel free to get in touch with me!!
