    Philips PM3110 Oscilloscope Philips PM3110 Oscilloscope Found this scope at the local thrift shop; looks like it's from mid-1970s but appears to still be fully functional. It's just a basic 2-channel 10Mhz scope; but seems simple to use and should be more than enough for some old-school...

    ATX PSU conversion to Bench Power Supply build

    I had an unused project box that's been sitting around for awhile, a pile of binding posts and several new computer power supplies I'd gathered from the local thrift shop -- so I decided to put it all together into a power supply for the workbench. This also gave me a good opportunity to...

    C64C JiffyDOS ROM Installation and Adapter Build

    Multi-Kernal Schematic Multi-Kernal Schematic I think I understand what you're recommending, and it makes sense for a C64 with 28 pin ROM; but unless I've missed something, based on the schematic I used from http://symlink.dk/nostalgia/c64/rom/ Pin 27 on the adapter isn't actually...

    C64C JiffyDOS ROM Installation and Adapter Build

    One of my project goals this weekend was to install a JiffyDOS ROM in a C64C; both of which were obtained from World of Commodore in Toronto a couple years back but had been shelved when I found the C64C's ROMs weren't socketed and I didn't have the appropriate tools or enough practice to remove...

    My New Toy

    I've tried tinning the tips but they won't take any solder regardless of which tip tinner or flux I used; and that appears to be by-design like the resistance tweezers since they are able to be cooled before removing them from the work without sticking to it. Putting a bit of excess solder on...
