Title: WMS MPU Kits now available - LIMITED qty
Post by: Homepin on April 13, 2015, 04:16:57 PM
We have finally assembled these parts into kits. We are not in a position to assemble the boards so kits are the best option. I have 200 kits ONLY and we will probably not do a further run. First in, best dressed!

Please also carefully read the disclaimer on the webpage as Homepin is not in a position to offer any assembly or repair advice for these kits.

Two battery options are included as are all parts excepting the memory battery (these can no longer be sent in the post), and the three main chips, Micro, EPROM and PLCC as these can be re-used from the old board.

http://www.homepin.com/WPCMPU.html (http://www.homepin.com/WPCMPU.html)

$160 + $22 post for one kit or $480 for three kits with FREE post!

All kits are posted air mail from the Homepin factory in Shenzhen with delivery expected to be two to three weeks. If you have questions please email as I am unable to easily access PMs.

Hope it helps you to distribute more kits and makes it easier for members to secure a much needed kit.  ^^^

Neat kit, almost tempted to order one just for the fun factor of assembling it!

No Dr. Dude pins had DMDs. The WPC Dr Dudes had an adapter board to a Sys11 style sound board like Sample funhouses. These had blue aprons when they left the factory. Sys11 Dudes had white.

Yes. Sent you an email with a pic as having trouble posting pics from my mobile. Took about 4-5 hours to populate neatly bending all components the same width.

I'm on the verge of getting one too Mike just to have a go at assembling it. Always good to have a spare and have the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

My kit has been put aside until its needed. I dont have the time to put it together atm, plus i don't have a game here to test it in.

I just basically grabbed one while i had the chance, for the day when i might need one  *%*

Yes I don't need any but since Mike said probably no more I thought I better get in.

I ordered 3 so if anyone on the Gold Coast/Brisbane wants one then PM me and you can pick it up once it arrives.

You are lucky, you got in before the change - with 3 x kits I now only supply ONE PLCC tool but yours will have three.

Thanks Mike. I actually bought one of those PLCC tool a little while ago from HK for $1.75 Buy it Now shipped off eBay lol. How can they sell and ship them for this price. The shipping was the whole buying price.

Hi John,

The kits are already made up into packs. ALL kits ship from the Homepin factory in Shenzhen, we don't hold any stock in Australia so it doesn't matter where in the world you are the delivery time is about the same. Actually it's probably faster to the USA as I send them EMS to the USA as EMS provides more solid tracking.

I am estimating less than 7 days delivery to the USA.

We now also include a pre-wired mini plug and socket with leads for remote battery box mounting (if the builder chooses the battery option) and an 8 way DIP switch for language/options setting.

Works great Mike.  ^^^
I was only a little worried when I plugged in the supply power connector and it seemed like nothing happen. It was actually running, I just had the LEDs in the wrong way.  @.@
