No problem, added

Hi @xodaraP, could you please add me to the list as well? Thank you!

Is the DIY kit pricing the same?

 

[Frank_fjs]

Cheaper for DIY.

 

[keropi]

any news on general availability of these?
getting really tired using a crappy supergun I bought some months ago...

 

[snk]

How much for DIY version and rough estimate of availability?

 

[Frank_fjs]

Producing them as fast as I can.

 

[keropi]

hehe nice
when you make more kits please drop me a line (I can solder my own) , thanks!!!

Sandwich press method works, don't tell my wife I'm using it for this!

I need to buy better quality solder paste. Perfect the application technique. Don't think the toaster is quite hot enough. I needed to go over everything by hand with my iron afterwards and hit the THS7374 with some flux to eliminate some bridged pins. End result is nice and just tested the PCB, working well. Still took 3 hours with a few breaks here and there.

Will post a pic of the finished product soon. @xodaraP will let me know who's next in line and it'll be offered to them.

I will be interested in getting one unit as well. Please let me know when you have more for sell

 

[xodaraP]

You're already on the list modology

Frank, Why does my toasted sandwich taste like lead?

 

[Frank_fjs]

Ready to find its new home.

Huh! I used to use an electric skillet when I did large batches of small PCBs; if that heats on both sides I can definitely see the bit of time save there!

Hey Frank,
Wanted to see what position I was on the list.
Thanks!

 

[Frank_fjs]

I'll take a look. I am slowly working my way through it.

Three went out last week, another three will go out this week.

This one should reach its customer soon:

 

[Stupid Dufus]

Are all Sentinels, assembled form or kit form, are following the same order?

That is, kits won't ship out any earlier?

 

[Frank_fjs]

I try to do a few of each. I go down the list in order of interest, pick a couple of assembled requests and a couple kit requests.

Just thrown some money at @Frank_fjs, can’t wait
Let’s see how my projector syncs to arcade boards with an OSSC, CPS2 on a 92” screen

Btw why is this thread not under the Sentinel sub-forum?

 

[MoppelTheWhale]

so far the only thing i can't run is (no suprise...) Taito F3.

Apart from that Sentinel + OSSC works great, CPS2, PGM and Taito G-Net work awesome
