Ok 3478A test report:1. RIFAs are good. No sign of cracking. Will replace anyway.2. Main filter cap tests good for ESR.3. Battery backup at 3.044V. Need to work out if that's ok to leave or not. 4. Self test passes.5. DC volts -> works fine. Agrees to the mV with the 8060A6. AC volts -> works fine. Agrees to the mV with the 8060A.7. DC amps -> works fine. Agrees to the mA with the 8060A.8. Resistance -> works fine. Agress to the ohm with the 8060A.9. All keyboard buttons work.10. Front and rear jacks work fine as does the switch.11. AC amps untested. I'll do that another day but I don't need it really.That's a win!

Went to kitchen to get coffee, glanced out the back, then rushed to get my camera.Sometimes it is worth getting up.Let me guess, you live near BristolOK, I'll ask the question, that everyone else is scared of asking, why does living near to Bristol or Brizzle When I google for Bristol, I'm getting a nice picture of one of the inhabitants there. (Attachment Link) I wouldn't call my ex famous But this still leaves us with the question: why did you marry her? Scares away other women? She chose to make problems after we had been a couple for several years and 3 months after the marriage, and then after my daughter was born. Only the last can be attributed to mild undiagnosed post-natal depression. She refused to acknowledge that possibility, so no improvement was possible.For my daughter's sake, I defended my ex for over a decade. Now she has again chosen to create problems, this time w.r.t. being a brexiteer. My daughter is old enough to understand her now, so I no longer actively defend her.

Quote from: BU508A on August 03, 2020, 11:22:39 amBut this still leaves us with the question: why did you marry her? Scares away other women? It's the transformation that happens after you marry them. Been divorced from the mother of my children since 1995. She turned into a ugly, fat, angry, and frustrated old sow. To this day we cannot have a decent conversation without it turning into an argument within 5 minutes. Think "Angry Karen" 3x. In fact, just by coincidence her first name IS Karen.

Quote from: Cerebus on August 03, 2020, 01:23:22 amQuestion for all of you. (SNIP)So, can anyone else think of a common household object that is truly universal worldwide, and that fits the bill better than a pack of cards? Thoughts? Something obvious that I've missed?For sure in this electronics world, my fav is TO-220 as in my most posted photos.

Bwahaha! Some pillock was flying his drone over people's houses and yards making a racket and clearly with a camera mounted to it too. He carefully eased it back in to his feet, only to flick it into the pond last minute. He got it out immediately but it must have been soaked regardless.
