These are not the right keycaps chosen at the time for this color of the Commodore 64c case but since i don’t have the correct ones available at the moment and i had these left over instead, i wanted to take a chance, it could have been worse :-D

I have nothing else to say except that i miss the old days. :’(
I wanted to try this cheap fucking tester on offer on Aliexpress.
I don’t have much to say, it works quite well, i tried to make some measurements of a couple of electrolytic capacitors and making the comparison between LCR-T7 and the PEAK ATLAS ESR+ (paid almost 15 times more) the measurement result it’s almost identical.
Surely the positive side of this small and fragile object that will surely stop to working one day to another :-D which allows you to measure/test a fairly vast category of components.
Example:
It also has an infrared remote control decoder which i find absolutely useless.
The microcontroller used in the LCR-T7 is a clone of the ATMEL ATMEGA328, the Lucky Green LGT8F328P which is practically identical to the ATMEL but with additional capabilities such as higher speed and has a higher resolution for converting analog signals and having a digital-to-analog converter as well.
Below are the photos of the inside.

The High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) is a freeware hobby project which organises Commodore 64 music (also known as SID music) into an archive for both musicians and fans alike.
The work on the collection is done completely in the Team and contributors’ spare time and is proudly one of the largest and most accurate computer music collections known.
This update features (all approximates):
After this update, the collection should contain 57,576 SID files!

First of all, i thank my friend Gerben for giving me the monitor.
This is a Black and White monitor but for some reason a thin transparent film has been applied to the front of the cinescope to simulate the tonality of an amber cathode ray tube, furthermore the APF logo placed on the front of the monitor to the right of the power light is masked.
The TVM-10 APF Monitor is approximately 43 years old and was used with the Computer APF Imagination Machine I/II.
The Monitor had several functioning problems, below is the description of the work that has been done.
Only one geometry problem remains; the image on the top left side of the CRT tends to bend slightly for about 1cm and the left side of the image is slighty rounded, problem surely attributable to some polyester capacitor or resistance that has lost the capacity/value of the time.
Needless to say i checked almost all the polyester capacitors and resistors in the horizontal section and didn’t find nothing scandalous.
The photo gallery contains all the photos i made during the repair, i take this opportunity to thank a user of the plcforum who gave me tips on how to proceed with the repair.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to try this nice SID Player by Edu Arana with a very nice design.
Edu Arana used Bakisha opensource code for the SID (only Psid) player, the code also has my own little implementation for the Vu-Meter with three LEDs (thanks Edu for the note printed on the PCB).
I know the Bakisha SID Player fairly well, below you will find several Links of my blog where there are some experiments and implementations i did years ago.
I’m not going to dwell too much on the loyalty of this SID Player, which as i said i know well, all in all it works but we are far away light years from perfection, at least as i understand it, in fact i started another project that you all probably know: The Return of the Hybrid SID Player which in addition to an ‘almost’ perfect CPU emulation including Illegal Opcodes and uses the “Original” or “Clone” SIDs for playing music tracks and other nice and useful features.
The ‘plus’ version of the Edu SID Player differs from the previous one for the implementation of the bluetooth module which however is not supplied.
As you can see from the photos and video i have installed the BlueTooth module and the Battery to make it totally portable, the battery recharge is via USB like a mobile phone.
UPDATE:
I wrote this update because some things i wrote bothered someone.
With the phrase “I’m not going to dwell … it works well but …” i just wanted to say that the emulation of the SID, let’s talk about EMULATION, is not perfect, i’m a purist of SID songs, so for me a SID music plays perfectly only and only using the original chip, however for the price this player is sold it is perfect and also very nice!
Anyway you are always welcome to break my balls, i will always answer you.
