I finally got around to doing something about pcb storage. I love seeing all the bits and doodads on a circuit board, but theyre never going to win an award for looks :P Plus Im sick of looking at bubblewrap.
So I had a look around the internet and can find only A) crap, or
very expensive storage solutions (40 quid for a single box!?)
So ive started with option C) DIY
Finally tracked down suitable sized boxes in a local place, durable enough, correct size to hold nearly any pcb (just over A3).
Over the weekend im going to print out A4 and A3 size high definition artworks and flyers to mess with, then Im going to "laminate" them on to the box. I think it should look pretty sweet by the time im done.
Heres my template for now, with an (crappy) A4 flyer I had lying around placed on top, just to get a rough idea. I'll also add mini marquees to the base of each box so as when theyre stored you can tell whats what. By the time Im done it should cost about 3 quid a box, not bad.

Yeah im aiming for good quality here, basically a giant megadrive box. Its hard to choose between a few options, such as A3 or A4 for the artwork, between various flyers, whether to put them on both the front and back, trying various borders. But the lamination should make it look quality when finished, and then I can copy everything quickly.
Hard to choose between the artwork though, both of the aliens ones are great in their own ways (leaning towards jap one though!)

I ordered a load of computer hardware a while ago and each came with a cable that was in anti-static bag and foam in a box like this so I took them all home, maybe 20 of themWhere'd you get them actually? My PCB boxes are starting to get a bit tatty, think I need to refresh them soon enough.
Everytime I get computer hardware in I keep the anti-static bags/foam and boxes.0 -
Chassis on the way back from Ronnie.
just looked at your chassis, regulator and bridge were short which is strange. I imagine you did power this on with a 100-115vac stepdown?
also i reckon the fuse that blew was rated lower than 6a?
i have replaced almost all caps including mains filter, voltage regulator and vertical deflection ic
before you install the chassis make sure with a meter that you have between 100-115vac to the monitor
So sounds like I should be good to go when it arrives back. Managed to get a fluke multimeter for.....a very good price too, so I can properly test out before I hooked everything back up. My only problem now is that I have a full kitchen Infront of the Cyberlead. That's getting installed next week so once that's in I'll have space to get at it again.
Regarding the multimeter:
