In general. the bigger the cap, the better the chance its still fine.

Thanks Béla ! So no delaying airplanes because of close examination of an ancient Atari PSU by airport security ;);) ? Sounds like you looked forward to it... :-\

Again, I am in huge debt to you for this !

No, it would have been fun to explain those security guards that this is not a bomb. ;D
Seriously, I'm not sure I can travel in this month to Brussels and my brother's colleague was here by car for Xmas, I couldn't miss this great opportunity. ;)

For reference, some more Atari Power Brick info:

http://www.elektronforge.com/transassy.htm

and some info about AR boards:

http://www.elektronforge.com/AudioRegs.htm

From this, it turns out that Lunar Lander seems to only need +5V from the AR board....so it should always "fit" :)

No ....sorry.

After Eurocade I actually really had a pretty major dip in motivation for about everything....Not Eurocade's fault or anything else..it's just that you live/work up to the event so much, and I enjoyed it SO much that there simply was a little black hole after it ;)

Apart from that work has been really busy with new projects and in the other hobby (the drum band) we went to a concourse last saturday (where we scored a very nice 90 points) which required a lot of extra rehearsals and now we are heading for our 120 years anniversary of the club, which we will celebrate with a big concert on october 13, completely in Dutch style with a lot of Dutch music and "famous" Dutch singer Dries Roelvink (kinda like the guy you showed us on the youtube Béla ;)) for which I need to make a Keynote presentation for the beamers....and of course extra rehearsals too....

Here's the poster by the way, still plenty of tickets available ;)



Anyway, it is safe and sound in my gameroom at the moment... I did already receive an Asteroids Deluxe harness for this project :)

Hahahha, this guy rocks. ;D
I was asking, because some Xmas candies was hidden in the box with the psu last year, if you open it this year, don't do it before Xmas. ;D ;D ;D
Good luck with that nice event and don't forget to take your camera with you. ;)
