Rottendog boards in OZ?
« on: May 24, 2011, 12:28:05 PM »
Does anyone distribute Rottendog boards in Oz? I've previously bought a WPC P/D from Mad Amusements, but look like I need to replace my T2 DMD board.

Who do people buy Rottendog boards from in the US? Who would you recommend for prompt service & reasonable shipping?

The DMD board for T2 was previously 'hacked' to work with an outgassed DMD. It was definitely giving off electrical smells, the ceramic resistors near the heatsinks are loose and it looks like a deep scorch in the board (and the heatsinks were pretty bloody hot). The machine was resetting in this state. I ended up replacing the P/D, DMD board and DMD to get it working quickly.

Why not just buy direct?

Jim is great to deal with!

I normally just deal direct with Jim,
but he is very low on stock at the moment, so I had to order one of Little Shop Of Games last week.
Same price and same postage so I am happy.

I would be going with the home pin board, I am not very impressed with the quality of the soldering work done on the rotten dog boards

buy direct as I found mad sometimes sell real old stock. I bought a tz opto pcb and it did not work. spoke to the manufacturer and he replaced it with the latest revision. So go direct and be confident of getting the latest (well you'd hope)

How much was the post?  Looking at a Sys80 driver board, thinking of BAA which is $40 for freight.

Thanks,
