Arcade & Retro Repairs & Mods, all new recipe, with no added MSG...

And after 4 hours running.

Edit:
And what my couch looked like when i get up after sitting on it for 20 mins

Ok, I'll stop boring you with these pics now.

Picked up a Flir camera recently and started nerding around with it this evening

PC Engine Core Grafx with Turbo Everdrive 2.4 thermal image(powered up for about 30 mins).
Images are low res, as thats just how Flir cams are.

Cheers lads, I'll stick an order in for that Iwata Eclipse CS and see about the compressor. Looks like I'll need a 30mm and 50mm nozzle for what i want to do.

Hmm i guess nintendo wii box, same size as that maybe a bit higher.. i know you can get smaller, but the price goes up as you do.

Think that's the same compressor I have, though the box of mine is different. My compressor stands about 1.3 feet tall Steve, and similar in length. They're not huge, but they're a decent size.

I bought this compressor

http://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/airbrush-compressor-as-189.html

Its very small, it does make a noise when its compressing, i guess thats the word.. but its not going to wake up the neighbours.

This is the airbrush i bought, dont think its available at that link anymore but you will see it anyways. - Click id love to get a more expensive one down the road like Myrddins, to be honest though this one is grand, you can see the results of what ive done with it so far with no experience whatsever on the last page of the build the falcon thread in my sig. ive been practicing on an ATST kit i have.

Its kind of hard to tell the scale of that compressor. How big we talking?

Cool, so i need a compressor as well. Any ideas on that guys?

Ideally a small, not so loud one is what I want. Would pay a bit extra for it to be neat and relatively quiet.

Think thats the one i have as well and its grand, ive been using it the last couple of weeks and had no issues, once you get used to what psi etc to use. ill get a more expensive one down the road, but its a great starter in case you wreck it.

EDIT: Actually no haha on closer examination thats not the same one i have, i spent 25 quid on mine i think lol. it looks exactly the same as that though but without the writing on it!

The Iwata Eclipse CS comes highly recommended. I've one myself, pretty nice piece of kit

Anyone have a nice airbrush they'd recommend to someone starting out?
I really need to start painting some of my 3D prints and have decided to bite the bullet and buy an airbrush kit in the next week or so.

Thanks

Gorgeous...candys demand that level of coolness really.

Not just mod the console to output AV ? RF is generated from the AV signals internally anyway

Heres an actual helpful post for once steve. An RF Demodulator with composite output is what you are looking for and they come in PAL and NTSC versions:

Turns out the joke is on me!

Just realized I got it all backwards. They do indeed seem to be hardwr to find.

Since you're too lazy to search yourself i took the pleasure of doing it for you!

Theres some on amazon which take both RCA and scart which is handy:

Is there any adaptor/modulator/dongle/thingimabob that can take an RF input(from a very old 70's console) and output via the usual RCA connections?
I'm not looking to improve the video quality, I'm just looking to make it easier to connect an old console into my current retro video setup without resorting to tuning in a TV channel.

You can get them alright, possibly from the US. I saw one in this video i watched recently which is interesting:

Hope it stays what it is now. Lovely old talking point, even if it'd only be "fun" for a while!

Does anyone have any Dreamcast Region Free (Link83 Bios) chips spare they'd be willing to part with in exchange for something shiny?
