Buy Machine -> Doesn't Work -> Throw out MPU -> Buy NiWumpf -> Doesn't Work -> Repin connectors -> Works


But it makes for cheap, fully working 'dead' MPUs on Ebay.  Just get stuck playing with sloppy NiWumpf rules.

Repinning the connectors was the first thing I did - the existing pins were HORRIBLE. My original P/S was also shot. Have a replacement that works 100%.

The original MPU that came with the machine had significant acid damage. I neutralized and sanded it. Then booted it on a test bench. It was stone cold dead there too. I got two more "untested boards" off of flea bay. One was missing two chips I didn't notice before buying. The other was missing one chip I was aware of, but got because it had zero acid damage and had a sticker on it saying it tested good as late as 1992. I replaced that chip and put it in the machine with no dice. Replaced driver board, as it was questionable due to a repaired "explosion" spot - even though it tested good. Needless to say, I have done everything but put a known working cpu board in the thing.

Anyways, I have a project thread here:

Welcome back to the real world jim. I always knew you had pretty good knowledge and could be a contributing member if you just tried.

Well that sucked. I bet the guy who bid instead of buying now feels like a tard though. ;D

Know of any other suppliers. They have to be available to purchase somewhere.

Think the seller may have wondered why they all were sold in such a short time all of a sudden :)
Can I claim a percentage ? ;)

Farnell UK still has 56 of them, but they are expensive:

The Oszifox is not longer produced. This is also mentioned on the other Farnell entry....

Try searching for Oszifox or ProbeScope (as RadioShack called it)...
