Re: Improving Timex/Sinclair Tape Loading
Thanks Mark!
I will put a bunch of stuff in a box and send on Monday or Tuesday.
I have two each of the expensive bits (ICs and one of the caps) and hundreds of some of them... I have a bag of battery holders.
Its not a self build house - I’m reasonable at DIY but have limits! Imagine if I did the wiring...
I did manage to get a circuit to work today though! And it wasn’t as easy as you may think. Unless you can read Chinese...
Switch it on and nodding T-rex!!!

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer being good this year.

Re: Improving Timex/Sinclair Tape Loading
You are welcome! I look forward to seeing where I went wrong - always good to learn by mistakes.

Re: Improving Timex/Sinclair Tape Loading
I always learn from my mistakes. So I'm going to make a whole lot more tomorrow too.
Oh, in other news I just LOADed 3D Monster Maze from an original tape through the dubber.

Re: Improving Timex/Sinclair Tape Loading
I never make mistakes. Once I thought I'd made a mistake, but it turned out I was wrong.
Seriously though, I'm glad to hear another dubber is on-line. Can't wait for Lardo to turn it loose on those "unrecoverable" tapes and see how many can be rescued.
