I had this figure back in the 90's - assume it's based off the same character iteration? (Legends Knightquest Batman)
3050 Ti is my discrete inbuilt GPU (interface switches between that and the 3080 egpu). I required Fedora or OpenSUSE to get that to work with any chance of success; I chose geeko. Initially i had a few issues (Windows did too) with this setup. Since 595 open from March, it's been very stable.
More Columns after updating the OS on this thing. Added a chunk to my previous score before needing to do other things.
Not really played in a few years but can still get a reasonable score.
You could have colour matched each prototype to a different TMHT as well ending on the best turtle for the final design. (Best meaning not this one in the tub)
One of Tom's other aliases is "the tooth fairy". He holds no dentist qualifications but is very experienced with extractions.
Very messy. Wear gloves as this stuff sucks the moisture out of your skin. Onto buffing with compound #2 (separate pad) and then a final polish by hand with the JFJ anti static spray.
Sanding done. Onto buffing with compound #1 for 1 min. Far too much compound being used here than normal but the pad needs to be resaturated after having many years of non-use.
Test disc, my Aqua Kitty DX soundtrack which I use for all my CD related testing. A bit worse for wear given the abuse it sustained (including getting jammed in a LaserActive). Took a bit of time to get back into the swing of things. Despite being "Easy" there is still a learning curve per disc.
Sadly not quite out of the woods; taking the old pins out for the lid caused some cracks to occur (as they were glued in). I've super glued the cracks for now which is under enough pressure that it should not be an issue. Machine cleaned up to the best of what I can be bothered with.
So, a couple of weeks later, it turns up. Total $78.99 (£61.15 including VAT). Hilarious.
The original is pretty disgusting and beyond repair. The company now ships to the UK, but the part is $55 and shipping is $83.64 to $111.78, excluding taxes and duty. But, they have an affiliated eBay page...which includes eBay global shipping as an option. This shipping is $10.82. 😂
My JFJ Easy Pro has been out of commission for many years due to the hinges being held together by super glue (some previous owner, some me keeping it limping along). This is an entry level professional device. Replacement parts have been unobtainable until recently because no shipping to the UK.
Example of a CPU01 with a failed C59. Eventually it will eat away at traces and vias causing damage to the board leasing it to inevitably fail. The capacitor itself will be acting as a pulldown resistor producing a fair amount of heat and putting it within the draw range of blowing the fuse.
