The Three Stooges, I mean Bezerks. Blowing life into them again....

[Superully]

Ahum ? Cough, cough !

thx for pointing that out, andré!

of course i agree with you: while i want to have a machine as original as possible, sometimes you have to make choices to improve on original "flaws" like YOUR speakers or MY t-molding or the positioning of DK instruction stickers

[level42]

Noooooo, the speaker is an improvement, your T-molding is a compromise.



 


Just teasing you my friend. Would you want some of the correct stuff? Just say yes or no, no questions.

[Superully]

Would you want some of the correct stuff? Just say yes or no, no questions.

i'm tempted, but i've seen the original t-molding on the toobin' and the flat black version i've used looks so much better than "the correct stuff" - so i'm going to stick with it. but thx for the offer!

btw, i've sent you an email yesterday regarding the BR stuff ...

[level42]

OK ! Yeah saw the e-mail, replied to it half-way (concept). Hope to finish tomorrow

Anyway, the coin-door decals are on their way.

Michael, any BR stuff you need ?

Also, are we going to replace the T-molding? The stuff on the Berzerk actually looks a lot like the repro stuff I have ordered before at t-molding.com
I plan on replacing it, there are a number of bad spots. We could once again team up. For Michael, that would be one shipment to Denmark (decals, buttons & other BR stuff and T-molding).

Just shout

[Muerto]

actually, my t-molding is not bad at all, so i will leave at it is.
and i thinking to switch the fluorescent tube + holder with a new one..... what are your opinion on that?
but if you find a Bat stick, please ship that to... 

[level42]

Well, I ordered the correct size (I HOPE !) TL tubes through RSonline. They will be sourced from their US partner, so it takes a bit longer to arrive, but no shipping costs I hope to receive 6 tubes total, so there should be some left for you. Shipping is a nightmare though I guess, wonder how they will be shipped here....

Changing tube size is no option. Unless you replace the wood support that holds all the lighting stuff.

Changing tube size is no option. Unless you replace the wood support that holds all the lighting stuff.

By changing the tube i ment it all! - not only the tube, but the holders... (i just made up a word!) the whole shabang!

[level42]

Hey, you asked my opinion and you got it 

If I can keep it original I prefer that. AND in this case I am now able to get the correct tube size for a small price. So it's even the easiest way to go...

[Muerto]

of course it´s easier your way, though if the Blink Ducks dont work, we have to replace those as well....

[level42]

Blink Ducks ??

Anyway, there is good news and there is bad news.....can't ask what you want first so here we go:

Good: The Coin door decals have arrived and they look great !
Bad: The third working ZPU died. I don't know why yet, but I was installing the backup battery on my and Superully's board and for some reason it doesn't want to boot anymore. The second (my) board works great after the back-up mod, just as Muerto's and I'm 100% sure it is not because of the mod......
Already replaced a transistor that was definitly defective, but still no go....

Will have to wait to tomorrow night though...

[Muerto]

Blink Ducks ??

Blink Ducks!!

Blink Ducks ??

Blink Ducks!!

Ooooowwwww , "Starters" (dutch) zeg dat dan 

[level42]

Not a biggie to replace starters. Saint posted that my starter was the wrong kind for the tube, but this maybe due to the cab being for 230V ? I never gave starters any thought, I thought that a starter is just that and would work with all (most) tubes. The new one's at least seem to be able to.

Can you guys check what starter model you have in your Berzerks ?

[Etienne MacGyver]

just some info for who is interested

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp#Starting

[level42]

Yeah, I read that already but it doesn't say anything about different kind of starters for different wattages of tubes.

Well, I checked out the biggest name in TL lighting for their starters:

Apparently they still have two types too, but it's more a case of max. range. The S10 is about as universal as it can get.
