2013-03-15 by Cyrus S

hello

i was interested in a purchasing a cyclone if anyone has one they dont want,

I have a broken cyclone that I would sell if you want it.
I have worked on a few of these, and from what I can tell, all of these modules have the exact same PC board.  The only thing that is different on each is the EPROM and the graphic overlay.  You should be able to buy any of the modules in this series and turn it in to any of the others in the series.  If there are actually differences, someone please chime in.  I'm just stating my observations.

hi,

parts seem pretty hard to find for those things. supposedly the build quality was not that good at all.
do you know what is exactly wrong with it? I've heard about swapping the eprom.

how much were u thinking of ridding it for?
