I managed to miss this thread and the original owner of the board didn't tell me he'd exported it. Glad to hear it went to a good home where somebody can enjoy it. I got a bit disheartened with the project when 2 of the 3 beta boards went out to people who didn't end up using them for various...

Firefox needs to start seeking before the end of a frame to allow it to move to a new video sequence without a pause. The LDV8000 keeps everything nicely frame aligned, so by the time it starts seeking it's already too late. It seems unlikely any players other than the Philips would work...

I'm having trouble with a Wells Gardner 19K7203 bought recently. It was new, although it was likely to have been in storage for maybe 5-6 years. I wouldn't have thought that would be long enough for caps to dry out. Symptoms are as follows: - Any full-level colour filling the screen appears...

Gamefixer... you beat me to it. The sense mod annoys the hell out of me because it takes one failure condition and replaces it with a much more dangerous one. Cutting the sense wires achieves the OP's aim without requiring any board mods at all. The 5v supply will then droop at the PCB if the...

Thanks, that'd be cool. Somone I'm buying other bits from also has as a NOS CP decal for one side. 50:50 chance they're both the same of course. Lol. -- Dave

Bump, bumpedy bump....

Hi, I'm looking for the control panel and volume panel decals for the upright version of Firefox? Anybody got any nice, NOS ones? I don't think repros of these are available anywhere. -- Dave

Admitedly I haven't read through other threads to find out what the latest RAM Controls scandal is. All I can say is that I've found Dave to be a decent bloke in personal comms and while I've experienced a lot of delays with various orders, he's always come through with top class goods in the...

Dave, Did you track down a Firefox audio jack/volume control assembly? If so, you know what question is coming next... how far off are the repros? :-) -- Dave

It was on all of them. I was hoping there'd be a lot of loose ones floating around given that most Firefox cabs ended up being converted. -- Dave

Bump. Anyone?

Hi, I'm looking for an audio jack assembly (A041776-01) for Firefox. Must be complete with panel, volume knob, etc. I'd intended to make one, but never seem to find the time. Can anyone help please? -- Dave

Nice. Any plans for doing the cocktail CPs as well as the uprights? -- Dave

Very nice. I was about to swap out some of the opto switches in my MC cocktail for separate IR LEDs/receivers, but will hang on for a set of these now. Any idea when the parts might be available on their own? -- Dave p.s. still waiting for my mini trakball rollers ..

Hi Dave, I'll have a 2.25" Basic Trackball Rebuild Kit please. -- Dave
