Double side lock the door.
Drop sheets covering your 'special' gear from prying eyes.
Label some equipment 'borrowed' or 'under repair'.
If and 'when' ever found out, ask to examine shoe and handbag collections.
Yeeeowch... now THAT kind of skulduggery would definitely contravene the Bicameral Disarmament Treaty of 2005 (Otherwise known as our Marriage Certificate ) and would serve to seriously piss off my most favorite "enabler/supplier".
That dilemma of "Do I want to be right, or do I want to be happy?" always lands on the "Happy" side for me/us. Nope... not worth it, at least for me.

Science is not a liberal conspiracy.
You newlyweds.
I bet you've just started using an electric blanket instead of keeping each other warm.
Stick another couple of decades of gear collection under your belt and come back to us and tell us how it's going then.
We started out together with me bringing a truckload of electronics, test gear, automotive tools, torches and welding equipment/compressors. She knew what she was getting into.
We've been together a lot longer than that; that's just when we decided to make it legal. And the best part is we're still head over tails in love, and that's worth keeping.
"Us" is more important than "me".
I was going to carry out a little experiment trying to convert my old 936D clone which has 907 handle, to a T12 based system without the clever bits like the menu system or the vibration switch being used as the clone never had the facilities to support them anyway. I already have the tips just need the holder and for £1.49 from AliExpress I can get one of these converters for a 907 to T12.
Not that I need another T12 system but because it struck me that if you can have mains operated T12 systems really cheaply (without any temp control I think) and given that the OLED ones use 24V for the heating and thermocouple for the feedback and regulation, which is the same in my cloned 936D that it too should be capable of driving a T12 tip satisfactorily with less bells and whistles.
Then I remembered that the T12 system uses a clever program to read the thermocouple during the off cycles of the heating as the thermocouple is embedded within the tip and uses the same 2 wires, whereas the clone actually has 2 separate circuits for thermocouple and heating.
Back to the drawing board or is there a another cheap way of doing it??
Interesting. I’ve got a 937 somewhere. Might be a project as well
Still waiting for mine.
The OLED T12 kit with acrylic bezel IS the cheap solution. Just put a power switch in the extra hole you don't need for the plug and Bob's your Auntie.
But don't waste your time with that POS PCB adapter & tube for the 907/936 handle; it literally isn't worth the buck & a half it costs. That's the setup that makes the balance all wrong. A lose-lose waste of time; I discovered that the hard way for myself.
Cheers!
