| Vector-gasm... Cosmic Chasm! |

I quite liked how the settings screen looked, before you adjusted the slew rate. That font be crazy man! Thanks for the pic showing the beam paths - a penny just dropped, somewhere in my brain. Now I know exactly why they are called "vector" monitors. |

Vector monitors are quite cool things. I'm looking forward to building a few more machines that use them now. Encouraged to see that even with the cabinet rearragnement to accomodate the fan's crazy emf I still have great heat sink temps. Even with that massive block of aluminum I think the fan is a must to not have to worry about roasting components on the deflection board over time. So after I moved everything else around to accomodate the audio (I built a little box for the woofer I had for it- just for fun) and moved the shelf I accidentally put in my own way for getting the kick panel off I think I have finally arrived at the final cut. Time to add a little screen to the bottom vent slot and then pop a hole somwhere in the top (or maybe the backside transom panel?) to finalize the cooling flow route. At this point it is really fun to play and produces an image that is damn sharp and has no issues during gameplay at least. Winning! Next is the bezel and shroud. Still on the fence about dropping the screen angle back to my best guess at what was original before I get started on that last piece. Nothing to gain from it for me but it would be cool to be able to reproduce something with dimensions that would be useful to others in the future. |

Bobby, I think you've already made a lot of people happy, just by posting this stuff. So angle the screen however you want, make yourself happy :D Very damn nice indeed, I am feeling inspired. |

You went through all of this trouble. Get it right. I know that you are itching to do that anyways. I know a guy who has a Cosmic Chasm. I will reach out and see if he can give me an angle measurement. |

That would be outstanding Mike. I can make a few other people happy too if I'm able to make a 1:1 repro of that thing. --- Quote from: Mike A on April 04, 2023, 06:21:12 am ---You went through all of this trouble. Get it right.
