They are a big/ heavy cab ..........

Hmm, it's fairly hefty alright. I've some storage space rented out in a couple spots around Dublin. I could (in theory) use one of those, would be a tight fit though and whats the point if i cant play/tinker with it at home.

Interesting. When I bought the cab from Mitch, that vertical ic had failed. I bought a replacement for it, & one track lifted on me (I done a repair log on that track afair). The heat conductive paste was recommended to me (on the back of the ic heat plate) to help keep it cool & dissipate the heat. The tracks otherwise were all fine, & if not, I'd have repaired them as I did with the one that lifted. Also, the replacement worked, so the tracks couldn't have been damaged

Regards the ic he replaced, perhaps that took the rest as it went (I think that's a thing with the Hanty's). I can say for sure I've never capped that chassis, or done anything else to it apart from the vertical ic replacement

Well I did ask him to replace anything to future proof it as well. So he would have done a few caps etc that probably didn't really need replacing. I'm not up on the soldering really so not really sure about the vert ic.
Either way she's all good now and the screen is looking well after some tweaking earlier.
I hear that there's a sitdown ridge racer about to become available in Dublin, it was offered to me but I'll def have to see the size of it first

He said someone applied metallic heat conductive grease to the vertical ic and knackered all the tracks.

I used to own that What was the prob with the chassis in the end Steve?

Well Grant gave me a run down on it over PM on J+

He replaced an IC,2 x resistors and a transistor.
Also changed a load of electrolytic caps.

He said someone applied metallic heat conductive grease to the vertical ic and knackered all the tracks.
Load of bad solder joints all over the chassis and a lot of bad electrolytic caps.

That was more or less what he said, seems to be working perfect now

of them all, even over the Competition Pro and the very same model I binned about 15 years ago!

There's a good reason there was a delay in posting this get.

Head on over to this post in the Retro Repairs thread to see why!

This arrived this morning.

This is usually stuck in the chassis at the back of the machine.
Should make it a lot easier to adjust the Ridge Racer screen without using mirrors or uncooperative girlfriends

BGOllie

it had to fit in 16K

all of japan, in 16K ...

Thargor

Never heard of it.

Interesting turning animation on the truck

BGOllie

ebay find. Payload for the MSX. a rare one and in English to boot.
It's a sandbox/openworld truck driving type game. actually pretty good. played it for hours when I was a kid but due to a "lack of manual" I had no real idea of how to complete a mission. Still it got me to visit Japan north to south

Plush toys are for lying around on couches/beds like lazy bastards. Wouldn't be worried about him standing up. I really reset my Domo when I see how long he spends lying about the place. :pac:

He's too small to be on the bed, maybe the coach if I had one, my dogs taken it over, so he's in the bookcase with my games. Lol
I can't wait to have my own place and have plushes everywhere lol.

That's something similar to what I was going to do, but I find those plastic keyrings a little touristy looking or something.

Like they should say 'I

NY' :pac:

That's a really cool idea. I was going to try and get standard keyrings made up and do something similar, but think I prefer the credit card type look to your one. Looks the part.

Nah, I'm not loving it to be honest. I'll probably have another go at it or make one up myself(clear plastic keyring, home print on dual sided photo paper).

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it.
He hasn't much balance that's kinda the only problem I had was I couldn't get him to stand so I think next time I would either do feet sticking out but have them like triangles and a flat bottom.
Or I was thinking of making a base (styrofoam ball cut in half with felt on top) and pinning him into it.

Not the most amazing post ever
Anyway, had a bit of credit with Vistaprint so decided to do up a keyring for the keys for my Ridge Racer cab.
As usual the print quality is crappy, but it was more or less free.

Make something new included on here if it's gaming related ?
First attempt at felting, no pattern just did it by eye. I had it made but didn't have the eyes, whiskers or bow on.
Picture sorry attachment didn't work for some reason.
MrSaturn from Earthbound for anyone who wouldn't know, I think it's cute.

I got my Candy figure from Fighting Vipers this morning, found it on eBay by accident looking up something else

Set of new speakers for white water

hopefully get them in this evening.
should work nicely with the sub I got.

Im on the lookout for a cheat 10" 4ohm sub for tales from the crypt if anyone has one or spots one.

Neighbour dropped this in just now. Can't wait for some heavy metal pinball action!
