Did you have the pins of the fist on on the picture ? (AMP 9 Pin)


The upfront I guess ?

That's J103.

Didn't you download the Amplifone manual yet ?

Here you go:

http://arcarc.xmission.com/PDF_Monitors/Atari%20Monitor%20TM-239%201st%20Printing%20Amplifone%2019in%20and%2025in%20Color%20XY.pdf

Read.

Than read it again.

Then sleep one night.

And read it again.

Learn it by heart ;)

Serious: lot's of great info including all the wire colors for the connectors you can ever dream of for the monitor.

In case you're looking for the game manual it's also in these archives:

Yes I already have it.

Thanks for the tip, I am a young padawan  :lol:

So the lastest metal item available
More sanding


then Primer


I must hurry, parts are exposed, naked therefore vulnerable.

I got the paint I was looking for but unfortunalty it seems to be the same "Antracyte" one  :-\


I will test but I'm not convinced...

Edit
following  :)




Edit 2
First cleaning with acetone.

Primer (another one)

edit 3
It's time to paint the other side  ;D
Another protection

i didn't realise the day was upon us. what time do you finish work today (tuesday the 1st) i need to co ordinate a good time for you to go to the casino de paris, my friend will be there all day, but i guess you will be in work too , while the band is onstage is not a good time, just before they go onstage is not the best time either. i will try to see what time they are onstage and see if my friend has an idea of how his day/evening will be.
prepare for things to change as his priority must be any emergency in work, if they happen, but between us we will work it out. ;)
just keeping an eye on things

I only see this post this morning then send PM immediatly to Polaris.
So Rendez-vous taken after 17h00 today with his friend :D at Casino de Paris very little Roadtrip only 6.6 km  :lol: it's ok for me  ;)
Here we go






No place to park, like usual, so I leave the car and I don't have really time..

Polaris had sent by PM his friend's phone number but impossible to reach him.
I enter the backstage but impossible to go further ---'security''---- I understand but will not fail so close  ;D

I insist and request to call the guy I want to meet and finally one of them told me that he think know him but not sure.

And 2 minutes after i saw someone arrive with the precious rubber :!: :!:

GREAT !! Thank you so much






It's perfect !

Yes, still in the basement/cellar, and I know you don't want to miss it  :D

Little problem on the cash box, the paper was glued ; I must do it again   :?
