Although I'm splitting distance from Cambridgeshire, that sounds better ;-)
I've been lurking here for a few weeks after picking up the bug for getting some arcade pcbs. As a child of the 80s I was lucky enough to play most of the classics in the arcades. While I've always maintained a collection of consoles/computers, I've never dipped into the arcade hardware before.
I've picked up a Neo Geo MVS, TMHT, Vendetta, and a bootleg SFII CE. I'm on the lookout for an original SFII CE next.
I also have a keen interest in electronics and I'm happy to get stuck in with a soldering iron, so I'm eager to learn about repair/maintenance. Along those lines I'm currently looking for a solution to burn some 2708 EPROMS, my Dad and I are trying to resurrect his first computer, the Transam Triton (circa 1979). It's working but producing garbage on the screen, so we suspect one or more of the EPROMS has gone bad. I have a burner for more recent EPROMS, but the 2708s are a bit of a pain due to a higher (>25v) programming voltage.
Anyway, hello all!
