- Success! This shot shows (just about!) all five VDUs working - another great step forward.
- More testing is done, seen here being carried out by James Nelhams and Tom Lane.
- After the all-too-brief respite of Christmas over, the team reassemble to reactivate more VDUs.
- A monumental achievement, as Jamie solders the final core of the last-remaining 8-core cable to its rightful tag - see the video (plus outtake!) on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2H_ki95faCqOPWOt1OMkww
- To prove it's not all soldering, cleaning, etc., Tom Lane diligently programmes each TC64 unit (communication unit between each circuit board & the simulator)
- Meanwhile, Peter continues the seemingly-unending task of soldering the 8-core cables to the tag blocks...yet the final tag block is coming into view!
- Paul adds in new power jumper cables between the circuit boards, having crimped the ends
- Peter gets to grips with tidying the various power distribution cables...
- ...whilst Jack continues wiring in PCBs that have had their cables soldered to the tag blocks & tested
- Testing continues at the front of the panel, with many illuminated lamps in evidence...
- ...and swiftly moves further eastwards, with suitably-enscribed magnet to chart progress!
- Jamie turns his hand to fault-finding, including crimping & reconnecting power jumper leads
- Contrary to popular belief, yes, we're still making PCBs! Reinforcements of components arrive...
- ...and are quickly put to good use, with several more input & output boards assembled, cleaned & tested
- With more PCBs made, a quick view shows that we're 50% of the way to filling the final two racks
- More tag block soldering is called for; Jamie does the honours while Tom helps test around the front
- Meanwhile, Peter continues to terminate the cables at the PCB end, in readiness for more testing
- Testing reaches Uffington loop...worthy of such a cake-based celebration! The look westwards shows just how far we've come
- More parts arrive, allowing the telephone concentrator keyboards to have complete button sets again - can you spot the new ones?
- David, with cutters to the fore, trims back cable ties from tidied cable runs & works on the labelling system.
- Tiles now carefully sorted & stored on polystyrene sheets for potential future use.
- Another working day: John begins by stripping down our spare dominos stock into their respective pieces.
- Meanwhile, Peter continues the terminating & soldering of 8-core cables at the tag blocks...plenty of practice still available for those that want it!
- The finished article: an easy to identify, very neat end result - a great improvement!
- PCBs continue to be received & tested before being installed in the panel - certainly a railway theme accompanying the parcel here...
- ...whilst other completed PCBs proudly state their country of origin!
- Behind the panel, the all-important earthing wire is installed...
- ...whilst to the front of the panel, SPS members make great progress with inserting the microchips into the PCBs & testing the finished product.
