Title: Technicians out there....what is your workshop power supply ?
Post by: level42 on December 17, 2012, 05:57:13 PM
Show me your workshop power supply please....
Do you have just +5V or also +12, -12, -5 and other exotic voltages (F.I. for vector games) ? And at what amps ?

I use a standard switcher with +12,-5 and adjustable +5V, but also have a spare, huge Jac Van Ham psu with some extra. :D

Gambling machine, yeah figures....they have a lot of "casino's" over here (Casino with just gambling machines that is....)

Thanks for the very kind offer my friend but can't leave you without a spare.....

If there is another Atari Power Brick on Hungarian marktplaats please let me know ;););)

Seriously, I guess that's what I need for a setup:
- Jamma switcher for +5V, +12V, -5V
- Atari Power brick with ARII for the Atari games and vectors...
- Isolating transformer 230VAC to 120 VAC to hook up raster monitors
- and as a bonus, I already have a Variac, a variable transformer, a nice gift from my uncle who used to repair TVs


so...anyone got an Atari Power brick and/or ARII on offer ? :)

Don't know the status (working or broken), but i guess you can figure that out  8)

Talking about test equipments, I just bought a portable one. :D
At the moment it is for gambling pcbs, but the plan is to make a jamma connector and apply a joystick on it.

Nice box ! :)

Nice monitor too, looks a lot like the first IBM PC monitor....

Is there peanut-butter smeared over some of those EPROMs ??  ;D

I have one very close to this one, has a different brand name but just about the same, I think it comes from Conrad:

Does a good job for what I need.
