Thank you for the thoroughness. Might help me to get mine up and running again. Had it since I was a kid. AY 3 ST 3 8500-1 NA version is missing. Likely a problem 40 years ago so took it out to source it but lost it. The wires on this thing are very tinny and break easy. Thanks for the closeups of the gun. All the wires broke off and I had no way of knowing where they went back.

Cool stuff! I built a game using the AY-3-8500 back in the day. Just the pong game. BTW the gun is designed to detect the scanning frequency of the TV screen. That was to stop you from scoring by just pointing it at a lamp.

11:00 I know that transistor type. The package style is known as TO-106, and they were made by Fairchild. They're very common in radios from early to mid-70s. Their reliability over the years hasn't been so good though.

Cheers for this bruv, I was struggling to flash a gotek for a long time. Saw your old video about it and finally managed to do it. Thank you again.

if you turn the contrast way up when using the gun, you never miss :D Had a similar machine when I was a kid.

Just point it at a light bulb or the window. Kinda lost interest then.

Sometimes I ask myself, "Self, where are the flying cars?", "Where is my jet-pack?" and "Shouldn't we all be wearing shiny metal Disco outfits by now?" Then I watch a video where a guy uses a home 3-d printer to repair a junky old Radio Shack toy just like the one I threw away in 1983. Then I realize, Ahhh, this IS the 21st century!
