Hi all, I have a megaste which displays bombs on startup. I don't really have the time to investigate and fix so just wondering if there's any specialists beyond people like ian gledhill or tony Ellis who have previously fixed machines for me? It might just need the PSU refurbishing, but the history of the machine is unknown
Location is Loughborough UK
Thanks in advance
Rich

I'd check the FDD is connected and working first since if it is TOS 2.06 it will give 4 bombs with no FDD connected.

If you don't find anyone else then I may be able to help but not for about a month or so.
