update about the bezel
After some e-mails with thorsten,and a verry nice price for the bezel,its sold.
sending it to me,is risky i think,sinds its glass
or have ppl done it before.
otherwise i need to make a 600 km drive..

You need the official bezel transport case tm.  ;D

I did make a vector of that, and i do need to have that print still, and also solidsnake is interested in a repro, so if i print 2, i might as well print 3 if you want.., that cuts the printers startup costs in 3 instead of 2  ;)

puh, a loooooong drive for those pieces. but i know thorsten in person and i'm not 100% sure whether his packing job would be as excellent as etienne's custom-made bezel case. nevertheless, as far as i know thorsten still has a few CK bezels left, so if i were you i'd ask him to pack it up as nicely as possible and send it over! if it broke, i'd go the car route ...
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

And today it was me last day of vacation,so time to hit the road to thorsten.
Was planing to make some pics but me battery was dead :'(
and i got a grand tour from thorsten,damn he got a lot of stuff :o and a verry nice colection of perfect bezels.
And i almost came home with another cab ;D
So after a 8 hour trip im back home,and eat to much underway,damn i love the german food ;D,i needed to drive meself otherwise i probly was drunk too lol,cos i love there beer also ;D
wel time for some pics wat did i bring home.
first the bezel



it is perfect,looks like it just came from the shop ;D

But wen he was showing me his stuf,i saw a box with zaccaria coin doors.
and sinds my coindoor had a williams loggo and didnt had the original keys.
i had to take one ;D





Also in verry good shape and it also has the zaccaria sticker on it and the original zaccaria keys. :)

And i took the marquee,need some work on that one,if its possible to fix that.
there a lot of little holes in the artwork.
need to figer out how i can fix that


And i did ask him if he got a second one etienne but he didnt have one :(

you can see the litle holes here.





must say im very happy that i made the trip,some nice pieces thnx to thorsten.

and thnx to belike for sending me the e-mail

now most of the stuff that i needed i got ,stil need some smal things but dont think they hard to get.

so back to me pcb,in me vacation i spent a lot of time reading about electric and how to use a multimeter,cos i dont know much about it,but never to old to learn new stuf.
and i like to puzzle ;D
i already can buy a CK pcb so i got time enough,to look at this one :)
i stil got a lot to learn so it wil go slow

im checking continuity all acros the board now,but i get lost fast lol.

Sinds the brown ceramic capacitor on my board had those light brown spots on them i wanted to check them.
im not sure if you can measure them wen they in the board,i think i read somewere you cant.
but i just tryd,and  i got me multimeter set on continuity,en checking those things.
now i get a reading on al ceramic capacitors exept for one



i dont get a reading on the number 8 ceramic capacitor.
as i said maybe i did it wrong but stil strange that on only 1 i dont get a reading
can that be the problem ???

first i have to ly down for an hour so the german food can setle down a bit ;D
