I finally got a spare 20 mins so thought I better open the Xmas pressie our lass got me and to tell the truth I bought her the same gift
So a word of advice ladies and gents never get each other a surface mount solder kit .
My LEDs are all over somewhere. Can't find the tweezers and I want to throttle her.
I've now hidden hers as it could be the end for us if we fight over the soldering iron

Your wife does smt soldering ?! I would think such fights would be a good thing to have :lol:

[philbo34]

Not posted for a while as life seems to always throw things up .
However today on a trip to the tip the guy if front of me was chucking loads of stuff and explaining to council worker how nothing worked on new TV's. I got to him as the c64 s and drives went in (xxxx)
Council guy said no there in there you can't have. I stomped off and the guy said there is a boxed 2600 if you want it. I've just opened it and there is an immaculate zx81 with ram pack in same box . Will post pics when I can get them down to required size

Ah yeah it's annoying when they don't let people have stuff. Glad you got something cool though .
