They were all made in France. So I doubt it.

I had fun digging into France’s classified ads to find you some spare parts!

Here’s a collage of my weekend at #VCFMW
Brought a SUN-1 that I picked up on my way to the event.

My longstanding wish (and demands) have been answered!!

Forget Pacman Fever, that's old news, this new album release is where it's at. If you haven't seen them in play live at a VCF near you, you should!

Thank you @tayloramyshow.bsky.social @vkc.sh @actionretro.bsky.social for making it happen.

Sooooo my vintage-computer-themed band (with Action Retro and The Taylor and Amy Show) just put out our first record.

We're called "The Stop Bits" and the EP is called "Return From Interrupt."

It happens to be Bandcamp Friday. It happens to be $5.

Well. It works intermittently. Most of the time not. So I am still working on it. Wonder if it’s a bad cap somewhere.

Nicolas Mailloux (Maillouski) @nicolasmailloux.bsky.social · Sep 6

Good news !
Seems like the issue is a power issue. when plugging/unpugging the power many times, it boots intermittently.

I didn't have the original PSU, but I assembled a new one using a meanwell www.digikey.ca/en/products/...
