May 28, 2003 - God, I wish I would have finished College about 10 years ago when I could have....but I digress. Anyhey, in my haste to finish my wiring, I managed to cook my Ipac :(

DOH! Yep, I grabbed what I thought was the +12v wire for my coin door LEDs and hooked 'er up to the juice. Well...it was actually the common/ground wire for the coin mech. No damage was done, that is, until I dropped a quarter in the slot - that momentary closure of the circuit gave the 12 volts a path to the Ipac and whammo!

However, after sharing my tale of sorrow with Andy at Ultimarc, he said I probably just needed to replace the plug-in chip instead of the whole card. So, the replacement arrived yesterday along with directions stating something like: Hey Dumb --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules--... ;)

Seriously though, the chip came in and I popped it in and all is well with the world. Andy is one heck of a good guy.

Oh & I have added a few pix of the "purty" lights in the Construction area.

mastercave:
well taz, i see you're gonna be sticking with those green buttons on black scheme.... ;)

note: in case you missed it, in a thread also with the name mametrix, i called taz's cabinet ugly thinking that guy was him and not knowing that taz is around on the forums.
TazMan:
Yep... as Kermit would say...It's not easy being green.   ;D

Mastercave - did you see the "Hulkade" that Birdtales is working on?
More Black and Green for your viewing pleasure  ;)

HeadRusch:
Wow, thank you so much for making the big black monolith I just got done messing with look like a gigantic hunk of MDF CRAP! :D

This is whats called "Aiming High to begiin with".  When I started I would have been happy with 2 actual true angles on my cab.  When it was finished, I had abandoned that dream..........and settled for working :)

Nice
freakin
cab
Mametrix-Reloaded:
Hulkade? hmmm. I just bought three new cabs Saturday at an auction, but am going to make a couple cabaret cabinets since I missed out on those.

Maybe a MiniHulkade? Sheesh, I gotta come up with some original names.... first Mametrix Reloaded, now this..  :)
