But after three years there realised that I never wanted to be in a " 9 to 5 " job again. So, ever since have been self-employed and highly recommend it, not least of all for the varied pieces of electronic gear that I see. Also some design/prototyping work creeps in now and again which keeps the old grey matter going.

I've now aimed more at the computer repair market as everything appears to have processors in it these days and videos/cathode ray tube units have become outmoded. I've been in the electronics industry all my life, in one capacity or another, and always will be I guess. If you've stayed awake to the end of reading this well done.

Centaur Report

Well it took a while to complete, but here it is, my very own Bally Centaur pinball machine. Serial number ECE2305, one of only 3700 made. Manufactured circa 1981, it is one of only two pinball machines (Centaur and Centaur II) to feature an echo on the sound; using the often missing "Say it again" board.

SIA Repair Report

These machines have potentially lethal voltages (200v DC) in them and if you're not sure what you're doing find somebody who does. As most people with a Centaur know if the echo disappears from the sound it's usually down to the SAD4096 ic (at position U2 on the "Say-it-again" board). My circuit is based around an equivalent ic to the Reticon SAD4096 called an "MN3205" made by Matsushita (Panasonic).

I was very happy with the service Mark provided to repair my Windows 10 blue screen of death. He kept me up to date with progress and now the machine works perfectly.

Mark helped get data out of my broken computer and did a brilliant job with excellent service! Provided updates throughout the process, even out of hours, which was much appreciated considering my concern that the data was lost. Definitely recommend!

Repaired my TV very quickly after it stopped working. Knew what was wrong, sourced the parts from Spain(!) and breathed life into my dead TV. Did not charge too much either. Highly recommended!
