You do like creating work for me don't you?

are you taking the piss?

A couple more switch settings I've found. Mainly the serial port tests 09-0B, the final switch tests 20-23 and the DIP switch test.

Also takes an age to remove them like i did with driving school for a dx lol @wizard maybe another update for mfme to be able to remove all masks from lamps all at once

Because ideally the mask size should match the lamp size otherwise it might not be circular and would appear stretched.

I know of one of these in NI if it’s still about will try get photos of it.

oh so black light works then, usually the tubes were just clear glass (not woods glass) so provide really good uv light and not something you would have powered on with the lid open!! lol

😂😂😂 Things you had to do before 3D printers eh!?!

Yes,you need to remove upper sides,5 screws in each.then at each end where cab juts out you will see a single Phillip's head screw each side.remove them and the 3 coach bolts on the underside ,unclip lamp and switch unit from buttons then gently lift and remove pannel.the glass can be safely removed as you lift pannel.once prepped and sprayed leave 24 hours at 18 to 20 degrees to fully harden then re assemble,it takes 15 mins to remove that pannel.done it countless times

Just ordered one cheers dicky...

I used my Mpu4 removal tool for the first time this evening, what a quality piece of kit, that makes the job much easier! Great idea Dicky, and thanks for making them. 👏👏👍👍👍

Take the pannel off,remove buttons.prep it and spray with satin black.

Thanks Andrew I thought i had seen it somewhere... but as you pointed out ... it was right under my nose ... What a numpty i am i have read that manual umpteen times Thats brilliant ... thanks dicky

I don’t need full kit, would you sell half at a time? im just after the socket for the black nuts, with the ratchet attachment

My plug puller turned up this morning and very nice it is too. Working with the test rig entails pulling the plugs hundreds of times leading to wire fractures and then obscure faults while testing. No fear of that now as you don't grip the plug underneath the wires anymore. Well done Dicky.

Just these...

BWB ace chase, has it been emulated? Think I’ve got it’s Roms, can’t find about info anywhere (it’s not early MPU4, late 90s sampled sound card)

Thanks. Why not mask one lamp then copy the masks and paste in selections to save time? ... Takes seconds.

Thanks Stony ... yes thats so true regarding Cheap ... also if for instance it was a 1 off CNC machined from metal i guess you would be looking at £250+ so it depend which way you look at it I will put it on ebay and see if anyone takes a fancy to it .. if that sells then i will make another ... and everyone ... thanks for the support ... you guys are keeping me from going crazy during Lockdown all the best ... dicky

It does take a while to mask them all, however like you have said it looks brill

Hi Andrew Totally agree and understand but that's what it costs with the materials, overheads, P&P and Ebay / paypal fees ... i cant sell it and make a loss on it, but im happy to break even as i started this project ... i thought i would finish it off ... the worse case is... it will look nice in my tool box for those like yourself that have a 3D printer i'm happy to share the toolkit files for free if you want to print your own ( as long as it is for personal use and not for resale ) I came here to build my test rig and it ended up with me making these tools based on suggestions here on the forum .. i have thoroughly enjoyed every minute so far and im happy to make other tools items if there is a requirement or demand .. but thats not my main focus ... i will finish this and the Pull tab project and get back to my test rig all the best ... Dicky

I would not leave those eproms with no labels in the sunshine, data inside is old and could be corrupted by the suns uv light
