Currently maiming a PhotoPlay 2000 quiz unit - new paint and some really hard to source compatible t-molding.
Dropped in a TV tube & chassis and currently wiring in a Jamma harness.
I have a really nice control panel solution that is almost ready too...

I'm doing a lot of Vectrex stuff at the moment as you know...

1 - Trying my damndest to cobble together an Arduino based ROM loader for development purposes mostly. Objective was and always will be "must use parts I have lying around" as I begrudge all these ones that get made in such small quantities that it's a case of blink and you miss it, then they're silly money on eBay.

2 - Inteding to actually write a game. Something I've started on many different platforms and never completed. Proof of concept posted on YT / FB earlier:


3 - Making a new controller that will be for both my Jamma rig and my Vectrex. In the style of an X-Arcade stick but not with so many buttons you could land a space shuttle with it (don't want to make it to Iains shame posts

)

And that's in between a bunch of other more mundane stuff!!!

So busy, busy, busy.
Bought some PiTrex recently. They are very good, although like the vecfever isn't being supported anymore. The last damned VecFever went for £3270, just no. Repairing a UK101, PET8032, and a LinnDrum. Plus a Space Guerilla that recently died.
