There is a Toddington near the M1 but the village hall link you posted said they are near Cheltenham!

If you look on p.11 of this chat I bought an almost identical one

Re: Cyber Legends V3.0 ?? Any takers?

Looks a cracking venue 👌
There will always be winners and losers for location but hope its close for many.

Looking to finish later this month, I have all the other parts including the CT63 and 060 CPU so I will post here with pics once she has been done :-)
Sounds good, would be interesting to see experiences with 060 EC and LC chips. Are they unusable as everyone says?

I'm with you on that but it was a punt and could have been a full fat 060. Not sure how much LC chips go for but would like to test it in my Falcon for compatibility. It was bought for $80 so about 70gbp

Re: 68060 sources

So I had a go with the heat gun, 450c setting, moving it over the underside on the soldered pins. My test solder went soft and stuck to the pcb. I pulled at the chip gently from the main side, nothing. Went back for another minute. Everything on the board seemed super hot but no movement from the 68...

Re: 68060 sources

I'll keep it's heat sink on, but good advice, thanks.
I've got the heat gun still out from another job so will have a go later. Then I can sell on the Nortel board and free some space. (Assuming there's a demand for it)

Re: 68060 sources

Nice one, thanks Stephen. I have a 450/600c heat gun and I think most solder melts around 200/250c, so will that be OK? Can I put any liquid that will stop the heat on the board to minimise heat radiating in to the cpu.
