Nice mr postman deliver this to me today.

Time to tell the story. A friend of mine asked to lend him my old trusty Kada 850.

He pick my station and got home, put the machine on his room and his missus asked him to go to the market.

While he was away a burglar break into his home and steal his computers (an awesomely expanded FS-A1WSX MSX2 and his laptop), his LCD monitor and my station...

He offered me to pay for a full replacement, but then I think it is time to have something a bit better, so I bought a new station with a ESD-protected soldering iron, too.

He paid half of it.

Win-win situation. If the SOB get imprisoned he can keep the old station to himself.

i hope the burgler burns himself

Yeah, and this new station also is 220V.

The old one was 110~127V and was a pain to use because I had to put a large (1000W) step transformer in the mains just for it.

Bought a PS Vita to replace my PSP. What a machine. The game Uncharted is amazing.

A happy ending, sort-of, man that soldering/desoldering station looks nice!!
And very Swedish too.

Well here are my latest toys, got this sweet PS2 off another Amibayer, It's already becoming a favourite and getting much more time than the Fatso (PS3), that's for sure!

Testing the component in on my GBS-8220 too, fairly decent picture for a $20 device I think, even though it seems to run a tad hot. The idea is to build a custom RGB/Yprpb switch/upscaler/scanline converter with the GBS as the "heart" (imagine a budget XRGB), we will see how it turns out...

Did I mention the PS2 is an awesome platform?

Got a Texas Instruments TX486DLC/E-40GA CPU. Now it's time to search for a functional 386DX motherboard, or an Amiga bridgeboard to install it into.
