The Eagle has landed ! (aka the Lunar Lander project)

[level42]

I just "tossed" in my 100% working Asteroids board and it shows a similar picture like the Lunar Lander board does so it's definitly a monitor issue.

I have a feeling that it may be power supply related...don't know why though...

Of course I could toss in the spare G05-802 that I totally reworked some time ago in there, but that would be cheating wouldn't it ?

Of course if it wasn't for the different connectors I would have already tried...I'd need one of those adapters from BR:

"You've got mail"



But not e-mail:



Uhhhh, OK I know where all these wires and connectors go but....I don't think remember seeing these in the LL Service Manual:


Wonka !! Ahhhhh, how suiting ! After all, are we arcade game collectors not just kids living a dream.......yes we are !
I wonder if they are ever-lasting....

Another nice and cool detail:


So...if you ever find a Lunar Lander in 2079, you will know it once was mine because it has CP harness #10  

And OK OK, Atari was from Amercia, the real Apollo project was from Amercia (if not from Hollywood...still Amercia), so I shouldn't object too much to the flip-side showing the Amercian flag. 




HUGE   for Dokert from KLOV for making these !!!! It looks totally incredible in every possible way. It's correct up to the every wire color (which is great since you can use the manual colors to connect it....)

Here's the thread about the LL CP Harness from Dokert. You sure you need one ?

Same for the monitor harnesses, you will only need them if you are going to switch between monitors....

I agree....should we share shipping from the US or not ? Maybe ship to me and you pickup on Eurocade or is that too late for you ?

Do you need anything else ? I am looking into ordering light bulbs for the mission light panel (think you ordered one of the repro's, those come with the lamps IIRC.

Also looking into bolts, washers etc. Let me know if/what you need.

Seems like the marquue worth a nice price.

Look like I'll be buying Erik beer all day at Eurocade.....as a bonus I provide free overnight stay and breakfasts

And I will NEVER understand people who start bidding so long before the end....


I won the LL mission light PCB (which has arrived at my uncle & aunt in Massachusetts) by entering my highest offer (75 bucks) just before the end. It very quickly went up and my competitor(s) obviously had a highest bid of 50 because I won it at 51....

Anyway, about parts:

The mission light PCB is missing the bulbs. The manual says they are #1816 bulbs. These are specced at 13V 0,33A. Usually over here lamps are indicated with watts instead of Amps, so P=UxI, P=13x0,33=
4,29 Watt.

I can't find 13V type BA9s (socket size) lamps here, but 12V at 4W plenty. If we recalculate:
I=P/U, I=4/12=0,33 so exactly the same current.

Cheapest one's I found so far are available here:
http://www.truckdesign.eu/gloeilamp-12v-4w-lampvoet-ba9s.html?___store=en&___from_store=default
(price excludes 19% VAT)
and wattayaknow......they have a store right here in the European Arcade Capital so no shipping costs. They are open tomorrow morning and it's almost around the corner for me

Michael let me know if you want some too...
