Day 60. I can now apply power and absolutely nothing catches on fire. Making a note here: huge success.
At night, the spot-killer comes.

Had I your engineering skill, can-do spirit, and also I lack sufficient available space for a full-size arcade machine.
I'm a big believer in having a real vector CRT as well, I just don't have one.
I have been beating my head against this for 60 days, I wouldn't put too much stock in my engineering skill.
I'd have blown something up by day 2 and had to order a new whatever part that I didn't completely understand how to install.

I made a cassette digitizing system out of a high-speed duplicator. In the process, I fried my DAQ.
