Hey fellow Pinsiders,
5 years ago today, in February 2014, I introduced my WPC Power Fix Daughterboard via Pinside in this thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/announcing-new-product-to-help-resolve-resets-in-wpc-era-games . Fast forward through 5 versions -
(1) original two PCB version,
(2) the 2014 single board version which also introduced the first Pro version,
(3) the (c)2016 which improved regulation efficiency and switched to a microcontroller for monitoring functions,
(4) the (c)2017 which added additional power supply health readouts, and
(5) the current (c)2018 which added a button that releases the latches on the indication readouts,
the opportunity to attend many pinball shows -
(1) Allentown (x5),
(2) York (x5),
(3) Southern Fried Gameroom Expo,
(4) Pintastic (x2),
(5) Texas Pinball Festival (x3),
(6) plus a visit to Dayhuff pinball party (which is every bit as much fun as a show),
and creating a collection of other products (including three Kickstarters) -
(1) the Pinball 2000 H+V video sync adapter
(2) the Extreme adapter (via Kickstarter, not funded),
(3) the Pinball Pyramid (via Kickstarter, not funded),
(4) replacement LED displays for Skee Ball (via Kickstarter, funded!!!!),
(5) replacement potentiometer solutions for Williams system 3-7 games
(6) and a handful of cool 3D-printed items such as rollovers for Bally EMs and Williams display glass brackets
**********************************************************
To celebrate 5 years and thank Pinside for being an essential part of it all, I'm going to include some KAHR.US Circuits swag in orders that come in through Pinside Shops. You should be able to find the Daughterboard here: https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1013-kahrus-circuits/ . This is only available through Pinside Shops because ordering through there automatically sends a portion to the Pinside fund.
Swag? - I have some KAHR.US Circuits sport bottles, some stress balls and a couple t-shirts. This offer runs through the first week of March or until the gifts are gone.

To close, all I can say is thanks for all the wonderful memories; may we all continue our parts in making the pinball universe unquestionably the best place to hang out!
