phone i got always flips the image upside down. maybe the phone camera is made down under..

Well, that worked. There is an orientation flag in jpeg files. Apparently your phone doesn't get it right.

my cheap phone is cheap. only use it for work contact.

@tom45, looks like a great place to do some projects!

that was the plan.

@W2NAP
some laughing people sitting in front of their desktops don't know, what a context-menu (right-mouse-button) can do for them with those pictures ...

  By the way, nice place for projects

Some of the early cheaper phones got the jpeg orientation wrong if you turned off the automatic screen rotation feature.

that is what I thought at first as well... however that it not the case. no matter how it is held it always shows upside down.

The phone saves the intended orientation (usually based on its acceleration sensor, or an orientation switch inside most other cameras) in an EXIF-Tag within the metadata of those pictures. Some software used for viewing pictures does respect that, some doesn´t, some have an option to do so. If you now rotate the image to match what you see... this information may stay unaltered. For Windows as OS, i´d recommend using a program like irfanview to do some basic editing (rotating, color correction, cropping), it offers many options when loading or saving a file.

[hwj-d]

Many pictures, mostly iPhones, also have GPS coordinates in these EXIFs. Hopely one is aware that the exact address was published.

[SparkyFX]

The uploaded picture itself displays correct according to it´s included orientation tag. Its either the forum or the browser that shows them upside down.

My bench is clean, the HL-2200 is gone, I am going to let it rest for a day (or two) before getting back on the HP-8569B project.

constantly panning back and forth and more often than not being 180 degrees out of phase with whatever is happening.

This may explain why, with the rise of cell phones with video record, there are actually fewer UFO videos than there were before cell phones. Something about cell phones causes people to be usually pointing them in the wrong direction.

I knew it!   Cell phones are an alien conspiracy against human kind.  Someday the aliens will be able to control us via our phones (via brain waves).  Am I the first to say this?  (going to lock up my phone now).

Nah. We're probably already under alien brain wave influence already.

Nice and tidy 
But, "next year" (2019), you need more space 

 

[nanofrog]

3 windows?  You freakin' suck! 

I've a whopping 1.5 (1 whole window & 0.5 as I had to install a window A/C unit to accommodate the the heat generated by both my computer & lab bench gear).

Very nice bench, not really deep enough for me.
I like a 48" deep bench. (1.4 meters give or take)
It makes working on larger items easier.

I guess that depends on your level of addiction to boat anchors

Looks really nice. You have plenty of room to expand.
I want some of those red metal drawers. Where did you get them?

I was jonesing on those drawers too. I just put in some real knee banger, under the bench, drawers that were a nightmare to install, and those drawers would have been so much easier and have more room.

Indeed and considering my latest acquisition, I would need more than a deep bench.

I was making plans on how to get the 3KA from the garage to the shack today.
There is going to need to be some changes here to accommodate this amplifier.
And Yes there is some repair necessary.
Oh and my addiction to boat anchors is second only to my addiction to test gear.

thats a pretty deep bench! built mine at 36", which for me seems like a ton of space! shelves are 17 1/4" deep which allows the tek 2225 plus a little.

Here is my bench in it's clean state. (seldom seen)
This is an old picture and the receiver on the end was moved. in favor of a stack of HP Iron.


This desk is 48" deep with the last 16" being shelf space.
This works well for me.

Heavy as Hell
I have it figured out. I won't even have to pull the plate transformer.
The upcoming repair on this amp involves the output network band switch.
I will most likely post the repair work over on E-Ham http://www.eham.net/ Since QRZ.com's head moderator has issues with me after telling me "to go F myself". Females who know something about electronics are not welcome over there.
