This is EPIC.. I just love it. The build is so clean. Man, I need to really slow down on builds and focus on aesthetics like this.

So professional Dave. I remember playing those big Asteroid  arcade consuls in the 1980's  :D Wow, how things have changed since then.

Awesome... I spent many an afternoon with asteroids as a kid
always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question.

I spent a lot of lawn mowing money on that game as a kid.  Really brings back memories.  Great looking build.  Too bad about the printing  :(

Bonus points if you label the input jack "INSERT QUARTER" next time.

(The output jack can be "Coin Return"! Okay, I'm done.)

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

I too remember Asteroids from growing up in the 80's. I re-discovered it later in college when we realized that it was a hidden mode on our Agilent oscilloscopes in the lab.  Good times.

Digging the finish..your not the only one having problems with that silkscreening from them. I've been hearing rubbing alcohol will just wipe it off..

Tell me more about that "mode" in Agilent's oscilloscopes, I have access to a few at university...

I believe it's called ROCKS and it is available on the 54622D scopes.  There are YouTube videos that show how to get it going.

I believe some other models have Tetris.  I  sure you can find the info online.

Hmmm, Tetris.

Mr Pickdropper,

If I build a 1590a or get something laser etched,
It will be YOU to thank  ;D

I was thinking the same thing.

It does of course not disappoint Dave.  Great work as usual.

Awesome build -- shame about the screen printing. :( Make sure you give PPP feedback. Maybe a clear coat and bake will be an option after the printing.
