Great logs, very detailed with lots of pictures. Don't like the way he reverses the speaker connections on the actual PCB's though, adding a switch onto the supergun would be so much nicer.

Really enjoyed reading these, thanks for posting.

Hi there, Elgen here...

Nice to see that you like my blog.

I have to say, that I would NEVER switch the speaker-lines on an original board };-P Also I will soon install a switch in the SuperGun (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... d171261ea5")

If your Fluke has the RS232-option, you might find this interesting:

Nice blog. I especially like the mod on your old Commodore monitor (I wish I found stuff like that!) and the stuff for your Amiga.

The boss was out of the office for most of the day, so I spent a little too long reading your posts instead of working. :D

Great article about the puzzle bobble! It will, with no doubt, please a lot of ppl not willing to sell their kids to own a fully functional Puzzle bobble for a reasonable price.
