  1. That's pretty great! I hope you keep a posting your progress.
  2. Yep, seeing the backside of this, I am convinced that the bulge is definitely PSU related. I wonder what they needed it for. It seems a bit like stuffing a V8 into an MG.
  3. Missed the wires in the first photo (I'm at work, "working"). My initial thought was speech synth, but PS transformer works for me.
  4. Well that's really awesome. That bulge on the left, anyone want to opine on why it's there?
  5. I'd say pretty interested (FE). The delays are disappointing, but not a deal breaker. I think the ideals are laudable, but mostly I want to play games with my wife that are entertaining without copious amounts of skull-sweat (also, she genuinely hates the xbox controller).
  6. Awesome! Thanks for the skull sweat that went into this.
  7. Might be salvageable. Depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. With just the pictures to go by there's every chance that the copper has corroded away underneath the conformal coating. The bubbles you are seeing are a dead giveaway of corrosion damage. If you are feeling brave, you can gently scrape away that coating to get a good look at the traces. You might be able to get away with flowing solder along then to jump any missing spots if they're not too large. You might also desolder, remove and then re solder the DIP. Give the deoxit a try first.
  8. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronovisor I believe that this is what he's talking about.
  9. You certainly won't hear me argue that. One of the best things about living in Texas is no shortage of hole in the wall taco places. Breakfast or otherwise.
