Another lot to add to the collection; power supplies, irons and an electric screwdriver Another lot to add to the collection; power supplies, irons and an electric screwdriver Picked up another lot deal from a Canadian seller; this time I managed to get some power supplies (2 with snap vac) to...

veyyil has PM'd withdraw of interest as they've purchased the card from another vendor already -- ASUS AGP-V3800/32M (TV) is still available.

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...

Yup; still available but in storage; will retrieve and test as soon as I can. PM Sent requesting shipping details.

Another lot of tools; because overkill is underrated Another lot of tools; because overkill is underrated For my last haul of 2018 I was delighted to find a Canadian seller who'd hastily lumped a collection of tools into a single BIN lot with virtually no description. I was primarily...

More additions: Pik & Paste, Intelliheat and Lapflo tips More additions: Pik & Paste, Intelliheat and Lapflo tips Been awhile since the last update and I've accumulated more more equipment for the bench that I wanted to share :) First up is the dedicated Pik & Paste (PPS-60); I managed to get...

More tools! Newer type SX-80 Sodr-X-Tractor, TT-65 Tweezers and TP-65 Thermopik More tools! Newer type SX-80 Sodr-X-Tractor, TT-65 Tweezers and TP-65 Thermopik I should probably stop adding more handpieces to the collection now :lol: but I couldn't turn down at least one more crazy deal. It...

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...

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...

Finishing up the build and programming my own JiffyDOS ROM Finishing up the build and programming my own JiffyDOS ROM After I'd gone to the effort to build an adapter that included bank switching support I figured I might give the old-school EPROM burner I was given a try and roll my own...

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...

New tips and tools! New tips and tools! Been awhile since I've posted last and I've added a few new things to the bench to show off since then :lol: Found a couple nice deals on packages of of tips; a 10-pack of various chisels and an 8 pack of extra-pointy bent conical tips that are great...

Offering up for sale some video and misc. cards from my personal collection. This is my first time selling so the initial few may take a bit longer to get shipping and details sorted out properly. If all goes well I have plenty more hardware to test and make available in the future. Please...

New tips, burning in the ThermoTweez and another IR-70 New tips, burning in the ThermoTweez and another IR-70 Picked up some new tips for the IR-70 and TT-65; found a good deal on 5-pack of bent chisel tips and a 3-pack of mini-wave tips. The bent chisel tips work well in the IR-70 but are...

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...
