The other day I mentioned I had another small wood working project on tap. Well, here it is...ready for stain and poly. It is TEA related. If you can guess what it's for you will be granted genius of the day. Guess wrong and there's no penalty.Once it's done I will reveal it's purpose.
Smells like a scope clock
i didnt know TEA is one of courier service in China. its an outbreak..
Ding, ding, ding....we have TWO winners but one was actually DEAD on. Wch said it's to hold a scope CRT. Correct but which one?Specmaster said it's to hold the 3 inch CRT I removed from the Heath OL-1. RIGHT ON PAL! You are genius of the day.
Well an evening aboard the fail train for me. Finished off the Philips power supply refurb. Connected it up, Meeeeeewwwwwwwwwww it went and then I shut the power off. After some poking around I discovered I'd put the 38V rail capacitor in arse about face. Schoolboy error. Measuring the ESR of the cap after pulling it, it's duff - over 10 ohms. Dig around in the junk box, all my 100uF caps only go up to 35V. Fuck! Edit: Incidentally I fired it up on the HP 6286A rather than on the mains. That didn't even hum with a couple of amps leaving it!
Yeah dropped in order in with RS. Will get it Friday. Another day closer to death... Also anyone who hits ebay recently, do NOT deal with Packlink. Total fucking morons. Have billed me up front and after 15 days for an invoice. Cunts.
Very nice CRT display mount, med! Will you be adding a plexi cover, too?

Thank you very kindly for the accolade, now I'm going to risk loosing it , is it an optical illusion or not, but it looks like the hole for the base of the CRT is slightly off centre? It looks in these photos to be more to the left of the back support.Ducking to dodge the soggy old wellington boot being thrown in my direction pp mnem

How did you attach the right angles, med? Any fancy joinery going on or keeping it effective?
As somebody who is, on one hand, an electronics enthusiast / hobbyist, and on the other hand a former firefighter and firefighting instructor, I have to say, certain aspects of this thread make me a little nervous. All I can say is, be REALLY F'IN SUPER CAREFUL with highly flammable substances. Yeah I know, Mötley Crüe frickin' set themselves on fire during their early concerts just to wow audiences... but generally speaking, there's a reason we encourage people to not "play with fire".
IPA is pretty nasty stuff if it goes up. Can’t see the flames
