Ever have one of those days where the stars seem to align and you actually accomplish things? ;)

Got our Tempest cabaret and Battlezone cabaret both back up and running and actually finished both projects.

The Tempest developed a PCB issue this week and I while I didn't fix that PCB, I had a spare that just needed a pot. replaced. On top of that, I adjusted the convergence since it was pretty bad... no, not perfect but way better than it was.

The Battlezone had a PCB issue that turned out to be a bad socket. Then I *finally* bolted the monitor down and added the color gels I purchased a while ago.

Both of them are finally "done"! (if anything is ever really done...)

Next is our full-sized Battlezone. For some reason it's drawing the beam when it's supposed to be off. Going to work on that one tomorrow.

/jeff starts up another game of Battlezone...

Great job Jeff! As always, your arcade is awesome. ;)

Edit: Is your website down? :(

Ugh... yep, it was down. The DNS company I use was just sold and now, for the first time in years, I'm having DNS problems... go figure. :dontknow:

It should be up... I added a couple more DNS entries so hopefully it'll stay up. :D

Nice. I always like it when projects acctually get finished around the house too.

I've got a couple of BZ boards I'm supposed to be working on... You seem to be on a roll (lol).

My LL is also not always shuttong off the beam properly. I'd start with the brightness circuit on the monitor.

good work btw!
cheers
