Matt on Laptop Motherboard? Let’s Boot And Tinker. It is different doing such things today when numbers have been dimish, and there is interest in the old.ĭaniel Valuch Chats About CERN’s High Caliber Hacking 9 Comments Except at the time few had an interest in old radios, nobody wanted them for their original use, and thus were very cheap. Anityer teacher scrapped an Atwater Kent radii to use the wooden case as a liquor cabinet. About 1971 innelementary school one teacher took AC/DC radios and painted the chassis in dayglo paint, and put them in plexiglass cases. Things were built to be used, not sit in museums.īut this “repurposing” isn’t new. Or get vastly better equipment cheap as surplus and modify ut for running off the AC line instead if a battery, or mod it because it didn’t cover the right frequencies or because in some ither way it was less useful for hobby purposes. They’d spend what they could, often stuckwith not so great equipment, and modify it to improve things. They have a point, now, but seem to forgegt that people modified equioment to make it more yseable. Constant grumbling about previous owners who modified their commercial or WWII sureplys equipment. You should hear the antique radio collectors. If you needed something to repair your own unit, you might think differently.

Unfortunately, the MAME board didn’t like his 3-axis analog joystick, so both are 2-axis and give WASD control. 
modeled the combo throttle/roll handle and the joystick after the Apollo 11 command module controls.
The vintage embosser labels are an impressive touch, and make us wish we had one that stamps vertically. We love the two tiers of toggles here - the important ones are separated with 3D-printed Space Shuttle-style switch guards, and the super-important toggles have flip-up covers to protect them from errant flicks of the hand. See the badges?Īfter donating the usable parts deemed unnecessary for space exploration, had even more room inside the case for the throng of toggles that make this controller so touchable.
Besides, this is a KAL 9000 from Kexas Instruments. Cool your jets - no fully-functioning TI-99/4As were harmed in the making of this baby.
Had an extra USB MAME board burning a hole in his parts bin, so he turned it into fuel for this far-out Kerbal Space Program controller.
