Today I Learnt...

that my dad, who I got hooked on this arcade trot when I picked his brains about a tricky SI'91 four years ago reads the forum regularly

Cue 60 seconds of fluster whilst I tried to recall everything I'd posted on here in the last few years. Fortunately he tells me he only reads Tech

Hi Fatha! (just in case)

Anyone else got a TIL?

Yeah, today I learnt to always replace ALL Atari sockets, even when they look good, and that tomorrow may never come, so live your life.

Well not today. Rather this month. Basic stuff I know but I figured after 5 years in the hobby I should learn more than just how to measure +5v

To solder!

To crimp!

To replace an old Atari edge connector with a new one!

Tim's Pop fixed my Galaxian boot and installed a 2 game multi chip on it for me ages ago!

He's da man!
