Actually I need a few black and white TVs for repairs so if anyone has any please let me know.
That's extremely unfortunate I guess. Looking at the original schematics of what an original US Model2 was powered with was some fairly thin gauge wire all crimped together on a post. The only reason I'd go from JST to JAMMA to DB15 is convince. I have the JAMMA harness already, and while I do have more JST NH connectors suitable, rigging them directly onto a DB15 breakout is less than ideal. I don't understand where I would get the GND and +5V to the DB15 that wouldn't just be a painful entanglement of cables.You do know the jamma edge is an extremely poor way to distribute +5V for a Model board?
That just leaves the digital inputs, and again, why would you go from JST NH on the filter board to jamma to DB15?
I'm sure someone can design a product for this purpose. However, the Minigun (and anything derived from it) isn't it.
I sell them on ebay for 180 AUD with a bunch of extras, if you have built one of these you would know that it takes a while, requires a lot of parts and helps to have some expensive tools like a decent iron and a hot air gun, along with good flux etc. It's a very reasonable price for all the work that goes into it and the quality of the end-product. There are other people selling them for more, probably a bunch more - and those prices are still reasonable for the work that goes in / time spent.Or some reason the 2.5 versions of these boards for super expensive on eBay. I swore I saw someone selling it for $80-$90 a few months back and now it’s at $120-$130
Curious, what do you use the hot air gun for during assembly?... some expensive tools like a decent iron and a hot air gun ...
I use it to remove smd components. But for installing smd I usually find a conventional iron to be better.Hot air for all the smd components.
Makes for a much easier cleaner job. You can just get a cheapo from eBay and they work very well.
I didn't own a hot air gun for many years and now I do, I use it for all smd work, period.

Only if you're not installing it in the correct orientationI also like installing the SMD components with hot air, makes it easier to place them down imo. The only thing I have trouble with is the LED on this. I cannot for the life of me actually get one to work lol. 3 miniguns built and yet a lightless LED continues to taunt me. Is there some secret I'm missing to installing those?
Totally possible! Which way round is the blue line supposed to be?Only if you're not installing it in the correct orientation
