Fact: The 3 stage show at Chuck e Cheese is pretty much some of the robots from the Rock afire Explosion

Yet another fact: Chuck E Cheese was also founded by Nolan Bushnell

Your fixed galaga pcb (bad 2114 and 1 broken leg from the starfield generator)
I have reburn 1 eprom also for normal speed

[gyruss]

It all sounds a bit like star trek to me, but i love the picture! 

 

[gyruss]

Look what i found at the bottom of the galaga. 

[Robinholland]

that is cool 

[level42]

Haha, yeah that was often done.

Probably a misprint or otherwise rejected part.

[gyruss]

Took care of a some chipped wood at the bottom of the cab, with ms pac man ghosts staring at me. 

Fist wood filler and sanding.



after that masking and some paint



Looks alright

Look what i found at the bottom of the galaga. 

That is indeed cool ! 

He Andre, next time when you are in the neighbourhood of Gyruss, bring your colormatch sample 

[level42]

Yeah nice idea !

But maybe it was rejected because the blue color was 1% off

[Q*ris]

Nice job, Pieter!
For my info, what kind of paint did you use (don't answer black please  ).

[gyruss]

I used black satin, it looks okay but not perfect.

Maybe (if not too lazy) i'll give both sides a fresh coat of paint, but first i've got to fix the wood damage on the other side.

Talking about wood repairs,

I am now restoring my staircase and needed to fill some dents, and at first used alabastine pro filler, but that is like all fillers shrinking when drying.
also that took ages to hard, so i looked for an alternative.

I went to the local "action" and bought 2 component "polyester plamuur" i think it was 5€ orso.

anyway, i can really reccomend that, its "workable" for 5 minutes after mixing the instructions stated...
and that was right ! after 10 minutes its so hard you cannot squeez it in anymore, and after 1 cup of coffee (say another 10 - 15 minutes)  rock hard !

i could sand it down 25 minutes after apply-ing  

So i never use normal "plamuur" anymore..
just take a bit and mix it, apply it, wait 30 minutes and sand it down ..

So action it is and look for a little can that says "Soriso"






And it does not matter if its big or small that you need to fill, its rock hard after 30 minutes..



As you can see this is not a thin layer i put in this corner  

from they're site:
2 component thixotropic filler based on unsaturated polyester resin. Ecological and free of asbestos and silicone. Use on metal and polyester, marble, deep wood repair (rotten wood) etc. Due to it’s substances this filler is ideal to fill AS WELL as finish materials! 2 in 1

Ah, i'm using the same product but my brand is Alabastine, voor staalhard oppervlak!
