pipe clamps. what cabinet builders use. get them at any box store and buy 3/4 pipe to what ever length you need...

have a look at H-HOLD pot, i went through mine and couldn't get B+ proper, the h-hold was worn and was tough to track down.

i am exchanging the board with Andrew , as the traces are very fragile, and messing with it to much might make things worse and to a point no one will touch it. i have ordered everything i need for the monitor and will put my efforts there and a freshen up of the cab and a closer inspection of...

P2K "write-able" programmer daughter board. Going to germany soon as it has WB ( partial) on it and i will never attempt a project that size.

PM sent about this

Was probing a bit today , A2 was as far as it would test , prober B4 M2 , pins 1,2 both has some activity, went to F2 . Pin 2 was dead . Held probe to pin 2 , hit reset and pin 2 (F2) went low then high and A2 passed test and Hanging test on A1 now. I think F2 is no good.

i will look over everything under a magnifying glass today, C2 was chipped/damaged, Xbip was bent / legs touching, one broke, the Q infront of xbip was bent legs touching also so chances pretty good there is more. yes well cleaned/deoxit applied . roms were very dirty, cleaning them got the...

i bought a 40x illuminated magnifying glass today, i think i may raise them with thin stock cardboard just a wee bit . im going to clip and remove one leg at a time, i assume these are just as fragile with lifting as the williams boards are. toning out is a great tip , will do. im going to...

great advise!

will a 5006 work and do same as a 5004?

Ram is from a working tatio board, will start to socket and test tomorrow after work. as i piggyback one, the behavior changes. the only consistant one is J2. i had a sinistar that would piss around like this with the rom board and finally gave up and shipped it off, i think i sent it to you...
