Re: k5000

I have built a couple of K500's for people.

They're OK, depth can de upto 10" in ground on an old pre-decimal UK penny.

They can be modded to work as a motion machine but it requires a lot of work.

You're best off building the Silver sabre circuit posted on this site, and using Tesoro heads.

Hi Esteban,

The schematic for the Silver Sabre was posted below on 4-4-02 by BG. Unfortunately, there is no pc board layout that I know of unless somebody has posted it somewhere else.

Reg,

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Back again.

Yes, the Eldorado IS better than the Silver Sabre, certainly from a design point of view, but the SS takes some beating.

I'll post a photo of a SS PCB top and bottom here soon, as I have one in the workshop to repair.

Perhaps someone would like to "tape" one out for us. I would design one on the CAD system, but I've too much work to do at the moment.
