im pretty sure that is the address, i know its off of old country road, in Garden city, right by the meadow brook parkway, i think the exit is M2 if i remember correctly.

everyone realizes we are meeting at a mall in the holiday shopping season right?

I know there are no quite spaces in the malls in my area

Quattro · 11-28-2004, 08:59 PM

Very good point, I don't think anyones thought of that.

blackpacu · 11-28-2004, 09:05 PM

ha ha ha, oh man i just pictured that in my head
Yea I think we should move this meeting to a new location unless we go for a weeknite, in which case I dont think it would be too bad

alti · 11-28-2004, 10:26 PM

What controller board are you using, anymore details

fantomas · 11-28-2004, 10:49 PM

well..lets see if we can get more people this time. however, it seems like more people want it closer to the city/new jersey. im not going to organize this one, but if its at roosevelt field at 12 ill be there......

alti · 11-28-2004, 10:49 PM

not running yet unfortunatly it was purchased from a vendor on this forum months ago, had to be sent in for an issue getting the display to work on VGA it only worked on RCA

the controller is a Signet EPAP-200C and that is in for repair too. It has been a long time since i have sent them in and I am hopeing to have them back soon..

but i have some pics of the thing plugged in and OMFG is it bight!!!

did you do anyhting to mod the brightness for daytime use?

Daytime: no (its running 4 CCFLs strong so i have to keep it half way dimmed for best resuts)
At night it blinds... i have to hardwire potentiometer/equivalent to have the brightness reduced, im to lazy to do so therefore i dont use it at night at all.

Getting actual Allbrite screen its only beginning of it all, you have to get everything else compatible with the LCD to work - which is $$ and very hard to find.

whoops, did I say day? I was supposed to type night up there, brain to fingure connection must have broke down

DRWeside · 11-29-2004, 12:20 AM

I suggested Shea Stadium as the meeting place, but someone brought up the point of a location where we can see LCDs in an outdoor and indoor setting. I haven't been to Roosevelt Field Mall, but if it has indoor parking as well as outdoor, then that's perfect. I'm sure there must be some corner of the parking lot that's farthest and parking spaces should be plenty.

BTW: How many of you are planning on going if the meet is at RFM@12:00PM? Maybe we can meet earlier for better parking options?

thasaint · 11-29-2004, 12:43 AM

oh i'm down, missed the last one

fantomas · 11-29-2004, 08:43 AM

well as stated before i can make it for that time/place

DaRacerz · 11-29-2004, 09:28 PM

I'll prolly make it as long as I my car is ready. Had planned to take it apart to install an AM/FM/GPS antenna. Though we should find a different place other then the mall lot. Going to be packed on a weekend night for sure. Then again, who knows, top level in the parking garage might not be that bad.
