Commodore C2N Datassette - Mini Repair Marathon evening Cyberhug Technologies 2025-08-07 | In this episode, we are going to fix 2x Commodore C2N datassettes and analyse the classic problems that may arise over time.The first thing to do in a datassette that is 40 years old, is tho change the rubber belts that are used for the movement of the cassettes and the overall operation.The second thing is to make sure that the head and the surrounding area (pinch roller and capstan) are clean of dirt too. Isoprop alcohol can help here.Another essential point to check is the azimuth angle, in other words the angle and the way the tape is getting in contact with the head in order for the data to be read and/or written.Finally, before closing every repair session like this, you must apply just a few drops of WD40 to all the gears and the mechanically moving parts.Our second faulty datassette here, was seriously damaged because the motor was out of order. Although a rare situation, it can happen.It is certain that belts would need replacement as well.If you have a spares box, try to locate an identical motor - in my case it was one salvaged from an old walkman - and make sure it run on 6 volts.

JUNK@WORK Modification - Microsoft LifeChat LX 3000 Headset Cyberhug Technologies 2025-02-22 | The Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Headset is a very old product, maybe 12 years old or so.Nevertheless, it has always been a problematic device, i have managed to work with it only the first couple of years experiencing mediocre quality. I went from forum to forum looking for solutions when it has completely stopped been detected by ANY OS so, there was always a dead end.It looks like everyone that faced troubles so far, have send the headphones to the nearest electronics recycle bin or straight to the trash.This hopeless idea, gave me the freedom to start experimenting a bit with this device before it ends up in the trash. It was a lost case either way.Its analog architecture, gave me the idea to get rid of all digital (USB, volume controller, crystal etc.) elements, and try to make it work the old fashioned way.Further technical info on QUORA:quora.com/What-is-the-name-of-the-4-contacts-3-5mm-male-jack-for-cellular-phones
1963 - Rare Hitachi WH-843 Radio, before KHz/MHz scale! Cyberhug Technologies 2024-12-28 | Impressive finding this radio. Rare, as i haven't been able to spot any more info anywhere around the internet so far. The closest model to this one, is the TH-850 but it only has AM reception, no telescopic antenna and no fine tuning knob.It was produced before the Hertz scale was adopted by radio manufacturers.(e.g. KHz - MHz indication on the frequency search panels).The term "cycles per second" was largely replaced by "hertz" around mid '60s. To make it easier and shorter, the "per second" was omitted, so that "megacycles" (Mc) was used as an abbreviation of "megacycles per second" (that is, megahertz (MHz) and "kilocycles" (Kc) was used as an abbreviation of "kilocycles per second" (that is, kilohertz (KHz).Metrics Prefixes by WiKi below:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

1990 - Atari VCS clone saved... Future upgrade projects planned.. Cyberhug Technologies 2024-11-02 | By the time the legendary Atari VCS 2600 console was finally killed by Atari, its legacy continued on with plenty of clones from China, with built-in games up until the mid-90's or so. They are marketed under many different names throughout the world, but the manufacturers all used the same All-In-A-VCS CPU chip, the 6591 mostly. The built-in games were pretty limited, for the most part, variations of the same games, in different looks-difficulty-colors-feels and levels.6591 CPU pin-out, IC info and more:forums.atariage.com/topic/241219-a2600-clone-6591-chip-pinout6591 CPU drawing and schematic for basic functions:hackaday.com//wp-content/uploads/2012/04/megaboylight.jpg

Are you buying hardware in KIT form? My IDE-XT-CF adventure... Cyberhug Technologies 2024-04-17 | DIY is nice. It is the feeling of creation, no doubt about that.It is cheaper too!During my attempt to built an XT-IDE-CF card for my 8-bit PC, i thought I should share some thoughts about KIT form hardware, that eveybody should be aware of.I didn't make it on the first try so, here is the list of the essential things you have to consider before getting started with your KIT, or even before placing your order in the first place!1. Is there any documentation and/or instructions/diagram and in hard copies delivered along with the kit?2. Check if the EEPROM or EPROM has actually something written in it... :-) If there is firmware that is...3. Keep a local copy of the .BIN file before you conduct the first test...4. Watch out for the wrong BOM and any kind of suspicious surplus... :-)5. Don't be discouraged in case of failure...6. Find HIRES pics on the web, if in any doubt, then try to compare...7. Check on GitHub for any recent changes or differences that are found on the PCB or the pictures of the ready made ones that you're trying to compare.8. Follow the changes posted and test again!..Good luck!

ATARI VCS 2600 - 1980 - Fault investigation and repair. Cyberhug Technologies 2023-01-29 | The new generation of video games was born in the summer of 1977 and launched in October of that same year.The truth is that the Atari VCS is not the first video game console ever, but it would become the ultimate star. Millions of young people around the globe, will hold it as a childhood memory 'till this day. The initial console idea, was developed in 1975 by Atari and Warner Bros, the parent company.In the beginning, the console was set to come with an integrated ROM game, but finally, Atari preferred a cartridge version. This game was the famous “Combat”. This was the first cartridge that will allow console owners to wait a few months for the releases of new games. A first series of 8 games, was followed by many others and among them, the famous “Space Invaders”, a title giving Atari global success that would cash in more then $100 millions. Many third companies also encountered success, such as Namco and its “Pacman”.Sears actually sold the same unit under their own name.In 1982, the VCS becomes “2600” until Atari is sold in 1984, followed by new versions “5200” and the “7800”. The 2600 continued to be produced and new games appeared until 1991. The Atari VCS/2600CX console lived for 14 years.Console Specs:Media : ROM cartridgesCPU : 8-bit MOS Technology 6507 @ 1.19 MHzMemory : 128 bytes of RAMGraphics : Television Interface Adaptor (TIA Chip)

8 Bit Computers: How to cable right - Load audio files from digital players. Cyberhug Technologies 2022-03-25 | I am trying to get a digital, modern MP3 player to work with a ZX Spectrum here - I found a lot of information around this project over the web.The truth is not obvious as 8 bit machines from the past, used mono audio input and the modern devices can only output stereo sound.I tried stereo-to-stereo cables from the market and i also tried to use the mono-to-mono cable that was included in the ZX Spectrum's bundle pack.None of the above attempts worked, there is some incompatibility on both.I thought i should make my own cable, i based the findings on experimentation and narrowed down the combinations to a combination of a custom cable made stereo on one side (player) and mono on the side of the computer. Last but not least, the tests have been conducted using WAV files - instead of MP3s - due to better volume levels and quality, by using a wonderful piece of software which is called OTLA loader which can convert the MP3s but also can create a turbo loader copy of the game.GET OTLA from google Archives:code.google.com/archive/p/otla/downloads

Dirty remote controllers - DYI Clean and Restore operation fast. Cyberhug Technologies 2022-03-13 | A Classic problem..We use quite a few remote controllers daily, for the TV, for the A/C, DVD player or games console etc.Your remote controller might give you trouble sending the signal to your device. Especially after many years of every day use, the controller is failing.You can try in-depth cleaning of the inside of the remote controller, as well as the outside. Cleaning the contacts can sometimes make all the difference, but not always, problematic might be a power line or the infrared led up on the top side as well but this is rare.You can use antibacterial wipes or domestic detergents to break down and dissolve any oily stains, sweat or any kind of leftovers inside the device.
