Looks like an expensive process...

But waste is money nowadays. What is in there?
1 kilo of copper?
some grams of wolfram?
some grams of gold?
indeed, the best place to mine for gold is in a pile of mobile phones 150g per ton, and the technology is developed for harvesting platinum from the roads because it is such a good source, pretty nuts

I've just read that the Missile Command version is OK too.

i'm sure the MC just involves touching the screen to shoot missiles, i know i'm going to get abuse for this, but paperboy kind of feels good to play, you are making the same actions as playing the game for real, closest i've experienced to the real feel of a game anyway

That would help me answer my question: "do I really need an iPhone?".
i wouldn't buy one for playing arcade games, and i'm sure you don't need one, but its the most useful gadget i have ever owned by a million miles

i quite like having old games on my phone cos it looks kind of cool to me having the little icon there, i have namco for the pacman logo, i dont play it, its not much fun because of the controls and ive found any arcade game i've tried poor to play because of the controls to be honest.
however paperboy is quite playable with the full tilt controls selected, the sounds are pretty good too, give it a try while its free.

AgraGames CoinopMuseum®
OPEN FOR PUBLIC YEAR 2015


guess where i am going to take a look in 2015  ;)

you guys arent the public, youre a group that can offer a lot of knowledge, i'd get in touch and get involved if i were you.
i'm picturing huge tents full of collectors games next to the museum for eurocade 5 in 2015, imagine that :spaceace:

That would be cool, but for now, we're pretty busy with work, hobby, hobby 2 and Eurocade as it is....and also have to plan my US holiday ;) ;D ;D    Oh, and I've also got a son to spend time with :D

Besides, looks he's doing fine and also his focus is completely on the EM side of things, in which we have very little to add I'm sure :)

But Eurocade near/in that Museum is definitely a cool idea :)

can't harm to get in touch, make friends, plant the seeds of an idea ;)

hmm, i've tried 'vampire' and 'piercing crimp/spade'  but no joy ???

any other suggestions fellas, i also wonder if there is a two part connector that connects through a material when you squeeze with a pliers or something. i just need a connector that will secure itself to the material really firmly.
any ideas you may have are welcome i'm really stuck on this project >:(

not quite, these are very small etienne, maybe 10mm by 1mm in size.
a flat spade shaped connector with four little spikes sticking up from the spade that would bite through, there are many layers to the material so i want the connector to pass through all the layers.
i'll try and take a photo that is clear.

Hi fellas
bear with me i don't know how to get a good photo of what i need so i'll try and describe it.
i need a crimp terminal or similar which will attach physically to a material on one side of the crimp then to a wire as normal at the other end of the crimp.
i want it to have little spikes maybe that will bite through the material to attach to, when squeezed with a pliers or something. it is to attach to electroluminescent tape if that helps at all.
i don't know what terms to search for so any suggestions gratefully welcomed
