Hey /diy/

>>	Anonymous 02/27/12(Mon)12:09 No.162206 >>162204 Just gimme the instructions on how to make it.

>>	Anonymous 02/27/12(Mon)12:11 No.162208 >>162205 Yeah...If any,that's what I'm worried about because I don't want to throw it away. Or make targets for airsoft.

>Playstation
Makes a great CD transport if you're into that kind of stuff.

>Flatbed scanner
You can make a digital large-format camera

>Speaker drivers
diy a speaker cabinet if those drivers are worth anything

>ancient apple
sell it to /g/

>joysticks
make a simple plug & play game/interface with a microcontroller

>rubber dome keyboard
essentially garbage, you can take out the controller board and make your own custom keypad if you really wanted to

>big grey thing top center
I have no idea what the hell that is

All of that should keep you busy for a few months.

>>	Anonymous 02/27/12(Mon)13:00 No.162242 >>162241 Not sure if trolling... A quick search of 'CD transport' will yield excellent results.

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)04:14 No.163107 the c64 and the atari carts. I'll buy them. email me if you're keen.

>C64 base unit w/floppy drive
>Genuine Atari joysticks
>Atari cartridges

Sell these. Even if you're dead set on tinkering something up, they're worth money you can use to buy parts that'll be more useful to you.

The PS1 and Genesis are worth a little bit too. The PS1 moreso if it's one of the early revisions that they put a godlike DAC into for lack of cheaper/less capable part stock during early manufacturing runs.

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)04:44 No.163123 >>163122 the floppy drive is for an apple, not a C64, and yes, im really hoping he's keen to sell those carts and computer..

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)04:47 No.163125 >>163123 You sure about that? It looks like a 1541 with apple stickers on it. Fuck for all I know those could be commodore stickers. They used the same rainbow pattern on their products.

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)04:49 No.163128 >>163125 Hell, the computer could actually be a Vic20. Blurry photo is blurry.

>>163125
I'm just going on the thread contents, personally I used to rock a TI-99/4A, so I wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway :)

My first thought was that it was a VIC20, but i'm not so worried, I can use either a C64 or a VIC20 for what I have in mind

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)10:18 No.163243 >>163239 check the name field of his post..

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)10:19 No.163245 The c64 still has the warranty seal on it if that's of any importance

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)10:24 No.163250 Well,the commodore's working.
