Eduardo Casino has done a great job replicating the PCB of the Jolt. And he proved the PCB was OK by building a Jolt and setting it to work.
I have populated a replica PCB with as much as I have in my junk boxes ‘time period correct’ parts. It dows look good compared to photos of the original Jolt.
I am waiting for a ‘white’ 6502 to arrive, the purple one is already period correct.
This Jolt is meant to be a ‘museum’ part and will end up above my desk next to an original SuperJolt.
The next Jolt I will build will be a functional one with ‘black’ ICs and less attention to perfection.
