So, having received my H5C1 board at the start of this week (thanks again @exxos !), I've spent much of my limited retro hobby time during the week sorting out the bits required for a minimal build & ordering any key shortages (plus the parts for my H4 #2 & H5B to replace those repurposed for this H5C1 build).
I'm hoping to start some of the actual build over the next few days in the hope of being all but complete when the order from Harry arrives.
Of course, bitter experience is making me realise just how unlikely it is that things will work out as I planned...
Seeing the success of many of the other builds this week gives me hope that I can soon join their exalted ranks
Hope to post some picture & news of actual build progress soon...

As soon as there is any progress to share I'll try & upload some pictures! It all really depends on the arrival of the parts ordered from Harry, so there's not likely to be much to share before next weekend now.

That's ok, I'll be Avengers Assembling a load of new furniture next weekend, including my new workshop stuff, so hoping you'll have some nice pics to cheer me up after another weekend of not retroing!

Re: H5C1- firST STeps
Hello. Is there a parts-list for what is required to assemble the board, or does it come with some, or all of the parts?
