This anti piracy ad from Argentina was insane. I used to skip it because I was scared of it lol

So true. Newer ones are tolerable but the other one i have from the 80s is pure chaos. I took a picture when i opened it. The fact that the main pcb is on a hinge is such a pain to work on it

Oh yeah. I'll try the calibration later with the scope, fix a broken plastic for extra security but I can call this a success. Didn't report it but I've been sad because I broke the other vcr but it's fine. This works better. And now I understand a bit more how this machines work

I may have a vcr working thanks to the magic of stacked icepop sticks! (The plastic that activated the cassette inserted switch was of the kind that desintegrate over time)

Poor ventilation leads to a sad oscilloscope :(

A screen capture from an Iwatsu oscilloscope manual

Do not use the oscilloscope in the harsh environment
The environmental characteristics are:
Operating temperature: 0 to 40C
Operating relative humidity: less than 90%RH at 40C

Avoid using the oscilloscope in the poor ventilation circumstances

And then three pictures of a sad oscilloscope under heat, cold and moisture

These past few days I've been working on a cd player and a vhs player. Good news is that both are working again :D. Also I happened to buy lion king accidentally (box mismatch) so that's kinda cool. I used to have this movie as a kid

I got my 100% legitimate collection of ps1 games back from storage. They even came in vinyl!

Two ps1 games side by side. The left one is. Megaman x6, the right one shows a disc that says melody and looks like a vinyl record. Both obviously counterfeit

Found some learning material today. I'm wondering if they bought it abroad and brought it here or what. It feels weird to think about someone learning this kind of stuff in a foreign language and in such an irrelevant city. Whatever

Three books next to each other.

wow I love Tomba 2. Finally got these extra events. Playing 1 and 2 for two day straights was kinda worthless but I feel relieved I got to finish a childhood game (that needed the previous game which I didn't like much)

Ok so here some samples. Took what I had most at hand. I wish the battery wasn't dead so I could take it outside. I'm thinking an adapter, dc-dc converter and a power bank might be a cheap solution

Today a coworker gave me this camera because it was piling up dust. Now I get to make it pile more dust but at home :D. Later I'll try it and post a picture. Maybe from the image is not clear but it's a model dsc-f88 that has a rotating lens for selfies lol

Sony cybershot dsc-f88 box. The camera is on the front of the box over a blue background (ps3 like with a waves and a gradient from light to dark). On the right side it has its specs and some brands

spoke too soon 🥲. It's fine though. It used to work with an ide hdd. The difference is that I want it on an sd card. I'll try again. I have a cd full of sharewares I want to try

Yessss. After searching and waiting online, I finally found one copy. Just in time for next week's concert 😭 (i'll get to sing it for the first time yayyy)

Update: added some pull-ups. Of course this is a 5 min prototype and far from the design itself

Same board but with some resistors across the adapter working as pull ups

Of course I had to get the rest. At least all I could find. Sadly the first one is the older style which didn't even credit Wendy on the cover

This project is getting more cursed by the day. So whatever, directly connects the sd card to the board (actually my prefered method, who needs sockets and all that fancy stuff)

Beethoven is starting to get worried about being squashed by my rapidly growing collection (I might stop soon I think I've visited every single record shop close to me)

A small box like shelf library. On the focused shelf there is a box with beethoven's face. On the other side there is a pile of vinyl record boxes. The shelf below is almost full of records
