Dragon survey, what to ask for?

[Vato]

Here is a pic of a UK 1286 RF modulator. It is from 053679 DG.
I will add more detail to the machines that I have already posted and to a few more once I pick up the courage to enter the loft.

Thanks Gareth!
I have included crops from your pic to a couple of the "help-pages" for the database (the Powerboard version and the RAM configuration pages).

Your help is appreciated

There are some pretty good pictures of the early D32 16K - 32K RAM piggyback board here...

Thanks Gareth!
I have updated the database with your additional info.

I see you have both variants of the white power supply (square and oblong). Could you, whenever you've got some minutes to spare, post photos of the two?

Thanks for your help!

I will post some more once I have ploughed my way through the loft and taken the pictures.
There should be a 1233 modulator, Thomson 6809 and Siemens RAM and what ever else I come across.

Has anyone seen any other Power board with Reg 3 bolted to the heatsink?

Thanks for the pictures! I'm looking forward to seeing the 'picture of a Siemens' board. I own 19 Dragons it total, and none of them have the Siemens board fitted.

Has anyone seen any other Power board with Reg 3 bolted to the heatsink?

Yes, I have two Dragon 32's with Reg 3 bolted to the heatsink. One is a very early model which very closely resembles the Pippin prototype. The other is a much later machine with an issue 5 16x16 motherboard, and a MK2 power board (1233 Modulator).
