Re: BBC Model B No2. Will it live again!
I just popped the lid, and internally it is pristine!! Outside is pretty nice too, so whilst I paid more than I really wanted to, it is way better than I expected in terms of condition.stephen_usher wrote: 27 May 2021 12:18:dualthumbup:rubber_jonnie wrote: 27 May 2021 11:31
It took me about a week, but after the first jab I was bedridden for a whole day the day after the jab. This time it just comes and goes, most of which is fine, it's the nausea that I have a problem with.
BTW, can I get a BooBip. The new machine rolled up just now and I seem to have got a nice one. It's in nice condition, makes a BooBip on boot, ctrl+break resets, so it looks like I have my reference machine :)
All I think it needs is a quick external clean and I'll redo the Rifa caps as I have a spare set. Running CAT* blind turns the relay on, and running *MOTOR 1 and *MOTOR 0 operates the relay then turns it off.
So with the BooBip as well, it's looking really good. I do need to plug it in to a TV and test later on though.

You don't seriously think any of us believe you will stop at three, do you? :lol:

Forgot to mention, the new working one is an issue 4, just like the dead one.
