Start Every Color Automatically Mutating

I remember when RS was getting rid of those things for $99-199 at the end... I'm kicking myself for not picking one up.

Yea yea yea... I saw that...

I'll probably have to get some help for the board layout, though. I'm not skilled in that, yet...

So... when do I start mass-producing these things?

Always wondered what those stood for...

Yea, every VIC I've hooked up to my monitors always got that adjustment. There are actually two of them to adjust. One seems like it adjusts the output voltage of the signal, the other is for adjusting the color hue. I try to set all my vics, 64s, and 128s up to be the same (keep the tint/hue center...

I've played it on a couple of my drives, hasn't affected the alignment. I have a feeling it just steps the motor at different s...

I've repaired a 1571, in which the prior owner tried to install one of those raw GCR nybblers... a socket that installs on the CIA chip... they ended up ripping off a bunch of traces, and it just took some time, a fine tipped soldering iron, and some really thin solid wire to fix it. I've been using...
