Interest withdrawn. (was previously declared here)

Hello, PSU received today. Looks great and appears to work just fine. Thank you!

Declaring interest.Hello, are these still available?(Interest withdrawn here)

Well, it's a bit of a stretch to claim that I "got" this today, as I've had the parts and the project going on for a little while, but I did finish it yesterday. I present for your viewing entertainment, the latest addition to the Franken500... A plipbox. Probably not the best arrangement of...

Interested in A500 KB, PM sent.

Hello folks, I picked up a broken Game Gear a while back to try and resurrect once I'd gotten used to waving a soldering iron around again. Having built a few DIY project kits and fixed a couple of things around the house, I decided it was time to have a bash at this thing a couple...

That's not a terrible idea. I had actually come across that very listing this morning but it never occurred to me to do it that way :) If nothing is forthcoming, I might give that a go!

Hi folks, If anyone has for sale a TAPuino/compatible kit, for self assembly, I'd be most interested in hearing your price. To be clear, I'd like the components to assemble myself. I've had a look around online and whilst I can find kit lists here and build guides there and parts...

Awesome man. I bet it looked better than mine :) I actually grabbed that from the Maplin closing down sale a few months ago. Noticed today that their website is back up....

Thank you all for your feedback, it's much appreciated, particularly the in-depth explanation from solidcore. For the record, I did once learn to do it properly, it was just long ago. Dropping blobs "deposits" of solder onto my work was something I learned not to do long ago :) Based on the...

Thanks Hlide! As it happens, Mrs. Cheez is a great gal. When I showed her she said "You've missed a trick here, you should have saved that for valentines day." I tried to give it to her then and there and she told me to put it away til Valentine's. So yeah, that's a thing.

Greetings fine, assembled Gurus, Genii and gentlefolk. I present for your viewing pleasure my first ever completed electronics project. Assembled from parts in a meagre ten hours, this incredible device will mesmerise you with its blinking lights and, er, blinking lights. Pictures at the end...

I had something a little like this growing up in the 80's https://www.electronickits.com/elenco-mx908-300-1-electronics-learning-lab/ Not the same make or mdeol, but the same concept, a bunch of components laid out with spring connectors and a big book of fun and interesting projects, with...

roy_bates, the Zen Master of Amibay! :) I just wish we were all as good at fixin' as you!

Pretty cool. I'm a backer on the Joejam and Earl remake kickstarter. That should be ready soon, I'm pretty excited about that, if not just for the music!
