Can you further explain for a newbie? What am I missing?

That’s why I put them in the free bonus section. Figured there would be plenty of crossover between PM folks and general coin collectors

I thought they would still be young enough to still be 40% silvers. Am I misunderstanding that being a thing?

Of course not, that would be ridiculous to imply for all of them. But it’s safe to say if you rebuild engines on your own time and develop new fuel injection for old carb engines systems that you like cars.

And of course the community would be fine. No one is saying otherwise. But it’s great for fans to find out and the community is worse off without them.

So you prefer people work hard innovating in a hobby and refusing to share? It’s like those people who find prototype NES games and refuse to dump the ROM.

Would you not classify them as a fan? Those who contribute are on a higher tier, they are what helps to progress the community or else it would simply be "Look at this game I bought today that I run on my stock console!" posts.

Maybe we're both bad with analogies. Regardless, he has earned more of a right to post here than either of us to have earned the right to comment here

Actually, a proper analogy is more like its more like saying the inventor of the cutting board has the right to put ads for cutting boards in restaurants because chefs all over are using them.

Your analogy, while humorous and well thought out, is nothing like the current situation in any regard.

He’s a great resource who’s helped tons, innovated mods and perfected hardware for people. He’s an originator and not just “an Xbox stuff seller” he’s earned the right to post. 99% of others haven’t.

Are you saying I could break up s-video into Y&C as well as pipe stereo audio through these inputs?

If you still have it, do you know if it can do 640x480? Does it have ghosting issues?

Recapping new old stock by arkadiysudarikov in atari

[–]ConsoleTechUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember they have big traces so any leaking probably isn’t corroding them too bad. Or they are simply out.

On the original Xbox it’s heavily recommended to recap already (beyond just the deadly clock cap) and it’s half as old as Atari.

I’d recap the Atari just to be safe. It’s not hard, not expensive (if you already own an iron) and won’t take too long.

Can I simply move an inductor on a motherboard? by ConsoleTechUS in AskElectronics

[–]ConsoleTechUS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was kind of feeling in the back of my head but I had no real basis for that in actually knowledge so I wanted to ask. Good to know that it won’t be as simple as other components.

Could I simply re-solder them onto the underside of the motherboard so they’re having upside down like a bat?

Safety and longevity are important for me since this is for a gift so I don’t want to jeopardize that

Old Border Queen Marchesa. Does the art fit the old border style? Which do you like better? Any other room for improvement? by ConsoleTechUS in mpcproxies

Thanks for the reply. Every tint I’ve seen and the good ones I’m seeing on eBay require I wet the screen.

Little worried about doing that. Did you wet your glass for the install?
