good idea kieran, im getting very excited for my first abug!
ill be bringing my bbc model b, my electron and microvitec cub.
ill also be brining a disk drive, disks, some tapes (foc for anyone who wants them (yay!)), manuals etc.
i have a couple of things i would hopefully like to sort out. i have a ? and 5 key that are iffy on my electron (? key 9/10 presses will work, 5 key 1 out of 10 presses will work. ive tried all normal methods to get working reliably so would be great if anyone could help with that? my beeb also has a couple of keys, while fully working, are scratchy/squeaky (tried wd40 to fix). finally my cub has a rgb tint and needs degaussing, @daveejhitchens hopefully bringing degaussing tool? if anyone can help that would be amazing!
i would also love help with programming, with either basic or assembly as i know there are many experts coming along.
finally, i would just love to chat to fellow enthuseasts, and learn about cool acorn kit!
if anyone can help with these that would be much appreciated!
@colinhoad im perfectly happy to be recorded, as i very much enjoy your videos.
im counting down the days until abug, thanks for organising kieran!
have a good day everyone
oh, and does anyone have any advice to keep cubs safe during transport? thanks!
