The Awesome Finds Thread

haha..... gotta love those laserdiscs! I have about a dozen in my collection (including tron). if I ever see them cheap @ the thriftshops I grab them :)

Ive got the old star wars trilogy/bttf/alien and aliens/blade runner/tron/Jurassic park and a few others.

we actually watched the og star wars ld the other night. my kids tripped out when part way through the movie daddy had to get up and "flip" the disc over, then later swap disc too. so much work involved to play a ld! haha..

I never owned a Video Disc player but I love my Tron Laser Disc! :)

The computer is a P100 with 32MB RAM, 2.1GB IDE, and Windows 98 running MAXNC DLX 8.0 for controlling the CNC machine. It's now up and running, but I need to connect the CNC to it and start learning how to use it.

Bought a small laser engraver off of gearbest.com for $77.89 plus expedited shipping, plus tax, and it arrived today from Singapore via DHL.

Gave it a quick try with burning a QR Code on the back of a business card:

But discovered that the default setting of "60", while low, is still WAY too strong for doing business cards. :D

Bought this board game today. It was incomplete and not functioning. Got onto the interwebs and located the missing pieces...purchased. Took the tower apart and cleaned it up inside...now functioning. Very happy day!

 
congrats on the dark tower! I still hunt for this game and haven't come up on one yet.... someday :)

That was such great game. Played the crap out of it in the 80's.
 
Loved Dark Tower back in the day. Unfortunately the only part of it that I have left is the tower, didn't save the board or pieces.
