SS Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 "Got it thank u!" was referring to the information provided for the correct Marc to contact regarding purchasing a box, not a cartridge being received. Doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 and your soldering is gorgeous work. Yeah, I don't know how you guys solder so neatly. My own work always looks like it was soldered by a gorilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper soldering station is a big help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tep392 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Update: I've build and tested all the boards. I'm removing labels from carts, a PITA, then will clean, assemble and ship. Should be just a few more days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Yeah, I don't know how you guys solder so neatly. My own work always looks like it was soldered by a gorilla. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005C75IVM/ That is what I use for surface mount soldering, normal neon magnifying glass and reading glasses for DIP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 removing labels from carts, a PITA This is so true. If I had to do large batch label removing, I might well be tempted to throw up my hands and quit in complete frustration right there. Whilst some third party glue has degraded over the years to the point of being nonexistent, some of the Atari labels act more like they were welded on rather than glued! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Can always put some Goo-Gone or adhesive lift into a shallow cookie pan, place several cartridges face down, let them soak overnight and the labels usually partially disentegrate/peel right up the next day. Rinse under water or clean up with rubbing alcohol. Same with the end labels, but be sure to stand those puppies up so the go-go juice saturates them!

Zonie Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Ever consider offering just the board and the labels? I bought Defend your castle that way and I had no problem doing the "clean the old cart" work myself to save a few bucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
