Building a modern replacement controller card for an old coin game machine (kronespill)

[@Arcticretro]

UPDATE: The card worked on first try. Knut tested it in the real machine.

Hi Tommy, i hope you feel a little bit better now. Great job. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands

Hey, thanks! I am good now :)

Good to read you being better. The Kronespill is a really funny and fascinating machine. A modern electronics update will bring it back into our minds. In a time with boring TV programmes and without the internet it was a different type of entertainment. Let's hope not that many people were addicted having lost all their money on it.

Hi, Tommy, didn't know you were ill. Very glad you are OK. This little job was for that coin game machine you featured a while back, yes? It should do quite well. ATMEGA makes some interesting hardware for small controls applications.

Tommy, are you happy with this soldering station? I live in Trondheim and saw it in Kjell&Company and I consider buying it but would like to know any first person impressions :) Thanks a lot for the interesting videos! Keep it up!

[@Arcticretro]

Thank you :) Yes, it has been very good. Good value for money. I got a new tip for it. No issues. It heats up very quickly

Apparently, these types of machines are called payazzo in English, and they are associated with Finland, who got them from Germany. A somewhat puzzling history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payazzo
