Good to see some of you are also interested.
A part of my interest in electronics was spurred on by looking into the workshop at fleetwood pier, I was fascinated by the electronic gizmo's in the back of arcade machines, I wanted to be one of those blokes in white coats, but soon realised allthough theres nothing wrong with it, it wasnt the best paying job, I'd like to do something like that semi retired.
I have been told about the race driving game before, I'm a bit too young to remember that, I was a kid in the 70's, I heard you could make it do some odd things and make loud noises.
There are 5w bulbs in those reels, 3 per reel, I'm not sure I have any procesing power left to handle them, the reels only turn at 120 rpm as it is, maybe I'll play a flashy sequence when all 3 reels are not turning.
