I designed and built a miniature Sony Trinitron Hi-Fi living room but desktop sized. There’s a very iconic Sony monolithic presence about their TV line from the late 80’s and 90s and I like staring into its warmth glow.

![Pandoras Box 5S [bootleg], 2-player Arcade in a Box | Review
With 1300 games stuffed into a 2-player control panel, how is the experience for coffee table arcade gaming? Im looking at build quality, design, UI experience and overall gameplay presentation.
In summary: its meh.
The game list is too long to put in the desc; so Ive posted it on my website here: http://www.retrobuiltgames.com/reviews/pandora-s-box-5s-cp/ Pandoras Box 5S [bootleg], 2-player Arcade in a Box | Review](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mmGhPJ-hjps/mqdefault.jpg)




![Automatic Small Part Counting Machine with Arduino | Version 2
I rebuilt my small parts counting machine into a smaller form factor with a better mechanical separator inspired by Rx pill counters. I [used to] sell kits with small parts/fasteners. Counting them by hand is time consuming. I made this robot to do the task.
I consider this endeavor abandoned- but enough people find this video and ask about the design files so everything is open source now.

![Cherry Mx / Gateron Breakout PCB. Easily Add Cherry Switches to Anything
Cherry switches are almost the best tactile button you could ask for. Mounting them isnt quite as easy as a standard round panel-mount button. This PCB breaks out four keyboard (Cherry/Gateron) switches [buttons] with common ground into a standard 5-pin JST connector similar to arcade joysticks.
