go into your old mobile / tablet 5v Adaptor drawer, pick out something 1AMP for a non modded Atom.

I use these, easy as pie

agree on electrons, but need a plus1 to open it to full potential!

or could it have been the tape itself having become fragile? ^This never use old tape decks from 1982~ [-X use a new Sony HiFi Walkman ONLY :wink: if auto stop always kicks in, copy it on a Hi-Fi to a good TDK D90, then play that. this way, you don't kill the last copy in the universe :mrgreen:

I had a few of these BITD too :) just a word of warning, copy everything off them quick, as the 'side2' goes backwards to the cotton cloth cleaner inside the 51/4" case, so basically all the crap caught in it then end up coming out when playing other flip side :( i copied all mine to normal, can min...

^ hi TB, any chance you could just post the M128 mother board?

^nothing to do with R-Break, batterys, as would get a screen but in wrong mode / settings.

try on another Scart TV, or try your lead with a known working elk / beeb

welcome G

weird someone borrowing a £199 elk, then having to move house, hope he now lives in a bedsit!
