Default Re: Bodge-o-tronic: Veroboard!

Here's another example to show the versatility of good old Veroboard . I made this "Tele-Tennis" unit about 30 years ago when such things were all the rage, just after the introduction of the AY-3-8500 games chip. Previously one needed about 4 huge boards full of ICs . This one was built from a Practical Wireless design using the AY-3-8500, on a piece of Veroboard with bits from the BT stores and an old TV tuner adapted as a UHF modulator. The novelty of playing the games soon wore off , but having just retrieved the thing from the loft, It still works perfectly! .

Regards, Mick.
