About two weeks ago I moved from my old place in Denton to a new place much closer to work. How much closer? The commute used to be 35+ minutes, now I’m hard pressed to make it to work in anything over 3 minutes. Yes, being walking distance (although I haven’t walked yet…) from work is awesome.
It has taken me the last couple of weeks to get everything unpacked and situated into the current state. As you can tell by the lack of a TV in the living room and the record crates on the floor I am not finished yet, but it is in an orderly state at least. Check out some pictures below of the new pad, I’m really liking it!
The Megalo 410 has moved in with me as well, but the rear projection monitor took some knocks on the move over. So instead of seeing Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike in all of its magnificent glory, I am presented with this piece of art:
The reason behind this is that the vertical and horizontal potentiometers were broken off of their PCB during transit, but don’t worry too much! I’ve ordered replacement potentiometers for them and they will be soldered on once they arrive! Current damage presented below (Oh! The humanity!):
I’m hoping that replacing those two broken potentiometers will do the trick. I don’t see why it won’t fix the issue, but if it doesn’t there is a plan B. Plan B will be revealed if it comes down to that being my only viable option. However, fingers are crossed that by this weekend or next the machine will live once again.
Nice dude. Thats a pimp set up you got. You look well settled already. Bummer about the monitor. Hope you get that sorted. I had to throw away a perfectly good portable DVD player when the AC adapter broke off. Couldn’t get a part to solder, even then the PCB unit was so tiny the soldering would have been tough. The pots should be much easier to manage
