In Topic: ...and the next one - Rip-Off 7800

Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:14 PM

Hey Bob, I would like one cart. Is there a spot for another?? I also second the request for Star Castle!!

Side note...I worked at Cinematronics during the production of both Rip-Off and Star Castle. I worked on both the control panel assemblies and final adjustments on the power supplies and CRT's on the assembly line. It was an amazing experience. I was on the line adjusting Star Castle machines when the radio announced John Bonham's (of Led Zeppelin) death. Very sad day.

Found in the wild!! Found an 800XL with one of the good power supplies at the Capitol Flea Market in San Jose. $15.00.
Plastic still on all the brushed aluminum pieces.
As if "I" need any more!!!

In Topic: How to remove yellowing from an old Atari case

How big of a UVB tube would be needed? I have a bearded dragon who has a 12" flourescent UV-B light over his cage.... would that be big enough to get fairly even exposure? How long would it likely take? We usually have plenty of sun here but I'm kinda curious.... and I have extra peroxide gel from my wife recently dying her hair..... and I already have the UVB light....

I'm pretty sure I got the 12" bulb and fixture, that or the next size up.

But back to retrobriting..... the bulb is a 12% UVB 12" flourescent bulb.... and I have 30vol peroxide gel.... would this take all night or just a couple hours?

I did a 1200XL case with just the creme peroxide (I think it was 40%, if not, 30%) and it did a great job after about 4 hours. I am planning on getting a second fixture and lamp to supply more coverage. I use aluminum foil underneith and up the sides to help reflect the light with a single fixture.

Get a UV-B tube from the pet store. They are for reptile cages since reptiles need UV to survive. They work great for RetroBriting. And...they work when it's raining!!!!

Thats a nice case, they could of made it a bit more narrow though. Looks a little funny so wide.

They made it wide enough to slide the ST nicely underneath.
