Morning everyone, doing a bit of Acorn Electron restoration today.
Take this filthy beast that has been left in a, so-called , dry garage. Keyboard,ribbon connector and modulator taking the brunt of the "dry" conditions.
Some of the keys were dead or intermittent so a nice bath of vinegar and salt for a couple of minutes will sort them out.
Added sound to the RGB/SCART by disconnecting the UHF modulator and using its socket for sound output.
I will need to build a cable to load software from a laptop or phone to satisfy @proactiveservices need to see Chuckie Egg running on this little old machine. Unfortunately not today as it's roasting in the loft.
Here it is, Chuckie Egg running on the Acorn Electron by special request of
@proactiveservices
Enjoy someone who hasn't played the game in anger for nearly 40 years.
I remember playing this game to death BITD but this must be the first time I have seen it in colour as my old Electron only had a B&W TV. Any guesses to what it is? #retrocomputing
@GedgeHead By default composite output is b&w. There are some pads on pcb that need to be bridged to output colour :)
@josipretrobits
Already done but not necessary as the RGB to SCART is crystal clear.
