Tim Hunkin is one of my heroes. Last year or two he started doing the Secret Life of Components on YouTube.

That pic of the 'new house' you posted looked very British so I did wonder if you were going to get out of Dodge while the going was good.

What struck me about that doc was that everyone in the main office was using an Apple Lisa which shows you how much cash they thought they had since those were £10k a pop.

Surprised me when I discovered this too. The last one I tried to repair wasn't Orion and the flyback was completely different. It did give me a brief 'light emitting resistor' though, which is why I knew the flyback was toast. This might only apply to CTM640s.

IIRC there’s 2 manufacturers of CTM640/644, Orion is one of them. One of the two brands is very resilient and you might still be able to get flybacks for them from HR Diemen. The other is less resilient and no spares are available. You must be lucky 😄

Yeah 😆
I don’t have a single flat surface available. Aside from bits of floor that don’t have stuff on them.

Yup. HUGELY frustrating. On the flipside there’s seeing a similar question being asked only to discover it was your own post from 10 years ago 😆

Or finding a thread that matches your EXACT issue but the OP is a twat and has deleted the answer someone else gave them.

I like how the butchers is just a window display and the K6 phonebox is only 4 foot tall. And that the bread sign is advertising baguettes.

Also, that STC logo is the same as on the Executel docs and packaging, excellent.

KiCAD unlocked PCB design for me too. I'd played with Eagle but nothing clicked so I went with Fritzing instead. Development of that stalled and I saw others were using KiCAD around v6 and enjoying it so I leapt in with help from Thilo in Germany. I've not gone beyond v8 though.

Because it’s an answer simulator. It statistically generates text based on what word would come next based on its training data. You ‘ask’ it a ‘question’ and it provides an answer. It may well be complete horseshit but it did what it’s supposed to do.
It’s not a search engine. It has no logic.
