I actually considered several times aboot asking how much on the jukebox... then I decided I'd better not; "I might just have enough..." :? Probably at least $3,000. Also they are quite big. The big Wurlitzer ones with bubbles go for a lot more. Pinball machines are another thing like tha...

Got an open container of IPA at home? If you see any white crystals in it, gently put it down, run away, and call the bomb squad.... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468170924000754 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0379711225000347 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.10...

Interesting that conversation has turned to swapmeets in my absence; I was absent in part going to this: https://teanonymous.com/f1/download/file.php?mode=view&id=2952 I posted shedloads of pix in the Discord while I was there; I'll make an effort in the next few daze to get them up over here. ...

That lot should see you through the winter :) You are probably safe from those RF amplifiers, given the indicated voltages! I used to want a Markus, and now they are a blast from the past[1]. Having tried to use one, I ran into a problem that is all too common in posts on The Other Plaice. What is ...

It looks like an excellent swapmeet. Possibly a bit heavy on domestic electronics and light on TE and military gear. I have a friend who has a jukebox like that. It was downstairs in the kitchen and he wanted it moved upstairs into the living room. We had to remove the autochanger mechanism to save...

I wibbled very hard over the Freed-Eisenman Neutrodyne Receiver (6th pic); the guy had it priced obviously just high enough to make sure it went to a "collector", not a junk scavenger who'd just rip it apart. Something aboot the craftsmanship in every aspect of the thing just pushed all th...

https://teanonymous.com/f1/download/file.php?mode=view&id=2952 Sorry for the delay in getting these up; "IRL" has been "extra-real" lately, IYKWIM. ;) First up, I'll just post pics of what we saw while we were there; as usual I was there almost an hour early and people were ...

Those who have both species in their furry family (and any with human siblings as well ) will surely relate:

...I have a Tek 500MHz scope completely choc-a-bloc full of leaky SMD electrolytes, so once I've -- for training purposes -- killed a RAID controller riser board from a Dell server that's similarly infested, I will take on that too. Bar the sheer volume of the caps on the Tek I think it'll be easie...

"pole bending" What a great, descriptive phrase! It is nice, isn't it :) Most occupations seem to have such slang in-jokes that aren't used in other circumstances. Given the minuscule amount of force necessary to move the stick, the concept of bending it is unthinkable. I always assumed i...

It depends on the person using the word I find. Pleasure from a closely related person's achievements is the textbook definition of pride. It's when it crosses into glory and making it about yourself i.e. achievement by proxy, there's a problem. She did the work and got the degree. I am happy for h...

Hey, there was zero duck-tape or WD-40 abuse on this project.

mnem
I'm a man. But I can change. If I have to. I guess.

Thanks; that's what I was going for: Looks like it was made that way.

mnem
yes, you may touch it.

but you need to explain why volts are better in blue.

No I don't.

green would actually have been my first choice.
