That stick is indeed the 'sort of' successor to my one. It's by the same lads and from the same seller as the one I got mine from.
It won't work on a PC Engine, you need my stick for that. But for what it is compatible with, you can't really go wrong.
As I've said before, these sticks were designed by God, for God, for his/her games room. Specifically for playing Darius games. It's why they had to make these sticks for other systems. One's that had Darius games made for them.
And who doesn't like Darius? Apart from Retr0gamer (who prefers namby pamby Salmonmaster, or whatever it's called).
p.s: I bought this today. It's good isn't it?

For those looking for a better view of it.
Is it the 4000 or the 6000 model?

@SteveSI: It's the MX 4000 (might be a 4002, haven't checked) with a Beolink 1000 remote.

Here's a video of the telly in action!
Got it from the UK today. Should be here by the weekend, hopefully.

Very nice indeed sir.

Very nice indeed sir.
I hope it is! I haven't seen it working but I'm going on a whim here. The deal was just too good to pass up. Shipping was absolute murder, but actually all balanced itself out.
Fingers crossed the collection and delivery goes smoothly. We'll know by the weekend or early next week I hope.
When I saw Matt's video I was sold. Sure I have the cab, but I wanted something for my consoles and for the supergun so I can yoko (tate) when my cab is hori or hori when my cab is yoko.
The TV looks killer and well, it's Bang & Olufsen, you can't go wrong really. 0 -

Steve would it be so rude to ask how much you secured the Breadbin C64 and accessories for?
I'm sorry for asking but i'd love to have an idea on how much one goes for in that condition, but wasn't sure if it was appropriate to ask.
No bothers if you can't.
I think it looked absolutely mint in the photos, and probably would'nt have cleaned it myself,
but of course you almost have OCD levels of perfection I think from reading your work!
Btw, will you be using this one in the short movie?0 -

No probs, I paid 50 euro for it from a guy on adverts and that included the C64, Tape deck, 5 Games, Cheetah Annihilator joystick and some misc bits.
It did need a clean(inside and out)to get rid of the smell of smoke and I'm not happy with the colour of the plastic. I tested out a chem mix last night on it that was 90 percent Cif, 5 percent peroxide and a 5 percent ammonia and isopropanol mix. I only treated the top half last night with the mix for an hour and you can see the difference in the pic below. I just wiped and cleaned the bottom half normally but will get to that at some stage soon.
I'll treat the top section once more(might also use the UV lamp I got this time) with the same mix and it should be ok and then on to the bottom half.
I've been experimenting with different versions of the retr0brite formula over the last year or so to see what works best on different systems and plastics. The stuff I used last night is by no means retr0brite but it works fast and doesn't damage most plastics over an hour or two.
Edit:
As for the movie, it might be in it.

Nice stuff m8, looks very nice indeed. A decent CRT for your consoles has been long overdue for you in fairness. Touch wood everything turns out ok, I want to see some genuine scanline filth from ya! 0 -
Cheers sir! True, I guess it's more a convenience thing really. B&O too, you can't really walk by that when the deal is cheeky enough.
I don't think I could take scanline smut in quite the same way you do! I suppose it could make my Ketsui scores stand out more... y'know, when I'm beating ondafly of course. 0 -
Wow man! That was an absolute steal for 50 quid!
For a better preserved case you'd be talking in the 100s i'd say!
You can't really expect them to look like new in this day and age unless they're still sealed since the 80s!
I would certainly be afraid to ever offer you anything in the swaps forum for fear of harassment over condition!
The high levels of standards you have is what makes you so professional in your work though, and is certainly a great quality to have.
Was only thinking recently about the clean room you made for the Apple I , when I posted about the Metro Vac a while back!
It's certainly inspiring.I'll treat the top section once more(might also use the UV lamp I got this time) with the same mix and it should be ok and then on to the bottom half.
.
What is the purpose of the UV lamp out of interest?
Will it help aid in highlighting any dirt, dust or stains on the case?
I do remember that dust shows up extremely well under UV light from being in clubs, and feeling dirty everytime I noticed the dust on my shirt!
Almost looks like dandruff or something under the UV light!0 -

I'm not that crazy into making sure everything is spotless. Just certain things I like to restore to their former glory(or as close as I can get to it).
As for the UV light, well that means its time for science class I'm afraid.

It works best with a proper retr0brite formula.

That clean room(mini clean room really) I set up for the Apple I cleaning job is just something that anyone would do if they had something like that. Its rare, valuable and I had to go to the bank to get it. So I though I should be careful with it

The guy who made it has a mega thread of photoshop weirdness on ebaumsworld:
http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/showthread.php?94304-Judge-Mental-has-been-judged-mental-thread
Some really cool shops on there, but some weird and creepy ones also!
Must check out more of his work.
His style vaguely reminds me of cyriak's animations.....

Oh dear.
I've got one of those, works just fine.
Not using it at all and happy to part with it for not that much or, better still, something cool.
Let me know about a trade if you really need it!0 -
I was replacing the backup battery on this so thought I stick a few pics up.
Psion series 5:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Series_5
I bought this new when it came out first in Ireland many years ago(1998/99 maybe) and it was my main Computer/PDA/internet device for quite a while. I used a dial up modem connected to it while living in an apartment and managed to get very basic web and email on it as well as ftp.
Seems mad now but this device and me have some history
I think it had the best PDA keyboard for many years and it still feels great to type on and works as good as the day I got it. This thing is rock solid and has never had a problem in its life. It still feels great to hold and has a certain quality to it.
I'm thinking about collecting all the other main Psion PDA's now.
