Determined to finish Outrun at least once this time!

Really looking forward to this... will bring Big Blue for the Vectrex and Death Race/Chase too to demo (that's not my game but isn't released yet).

Can I come please mate. Martin Curry the night before sounds like a great plan!

 

[dj_yt]

Hello! I'll try to make this one as it's nice and local! Hope that's cool.

Not sure if you have that OutRun bootleg PCB working in a test harness? I wouldn't mind bringing mine over to see if it does anything sensible.

I may run an Arcade Car Booty from my Volvo like I usually do. Lots of PCBs, parts, and arcade stuff!!!

Bring cash but I'll also accept PayPal

Don't suppose you have any sort of list of what you have? Or am I best asking and seeing if you have it?

looking good.

Chris, yes please bring those vectrex titles and perhaps spike goes down?

Steve, of course you're welcome, be great to have you down here

Chris yt, I think the Outrun loom was complete, I will check it tomorrow. We can take over the dining room table to fire it up and see what happens!

Oll you park on the drive to run tha car boot then! Will you need a power hookup an a wallpaper table to lay it all on. lol.

On a serious note if anyone has an Atari B&W vector power brick for sale I'll take it off your hands, i need one for my next project.

Sure, will bring Spike Falls Down too... a great High Score comp game to play whilst waiting for a turn on Centipede

You're welcome to that HV Cage, etc. we harvested to fix my Asteroids if it's of any use at all.

I'll pull together a list of spare bits and bobs and edit this post as I think of them.

I do have a spare TMNT PCB as a result of fixing my original one, spare grey matting suitable for a Sega cab, various OutRun spares from my mini restoration. I'm usually too busy/lazy at the weekend to organize posting this stuff!

If anyone has any broken System 16/18 era PCBs they want to shift cheap let me know. dj_yt2016-01-10 09:58:57

 

[dz1n3]

Add me to your list too.

 

[virtvic]

I'll bring along my Limitedesition Binarystar vectrex Xmas cart (with mighty up Christmas tree)

 

[bonehead]

I might be able to help out with the vector power brick. I have a few from raster monitors if anyone on here can say if it can be modified.

I would also like to come along to the meet if you have space for me?

 

[smarty]

Darren, Steve added.

You do all realise there will be queues to play the games! That's no what these meets are about anyway... Think I need to hire a local hall and put all my games in there.

Steve I have a Missile Command brick I was just hoping for something plug and play. The Elektron Forge webiste lists the transformer numbers for B&W vector's http://www.elektronforge.com/transassy.htm

 

[Bensonrad]

Is there room for one more? Looking on a map, its not too bad a drive to get to yours, so might come along.
Cheers

A raster brick is the same as a black and white XY afaik. Only the colour XY bricks are unique.

 

[smarty]

Go on then Ben. I'll stick you down

I really think that will be it unless others drop out. So lets say this meet is now fully booked.

Thanks Oll, I've been informed of this, it was just that my loom doesn't directly fit into the brick I have because a few pins are a different gender. I will have to get my meter and suss it out.

 

[shaunholley]

Am I OK to come as well Martin? I've decided to make a weekend of it with Vic.

 

[smarty]

Hey Shaun, as we discussed it at Revival of course, wouldn't be the same with only one half of a double act! Simonden added to.

I hope no one is claustrophobic... it's going to be very busy if everyone is here at the same time.

Looking forward to it I must say though

I have Jedi to fix as that seems to have freaked out... The Enduro Racer handle bars a in pieces as I'm sorting out the self centering, well drilling out some snapped screws and getting the metalwork re-threaded. Fingers Crossed both will be back working for next weekend.

 

[guddler]

Arse! I completely forgot about this!!

There's 2 or 3 people going that I could do with meeting up with but I have to admit it's not the best of times right now and on top of that I'm in Hertfordshire working the week after for a couple of days so won't really be wanting to do the journey twice in succession.

Have a great time guys.

 

[iamjimmi]

Great selection of cabs - would love to have a blast on Fire Truck and the cockpit Jedi, but an 8 hour round trip is just a little bit too far.

(And looks like you will have a full house anyway!)

Have fun....iamjimmi2016-01-11 22:09:08
