I'm never using RS again. They still haven't delivered the capacitors I ordered a week ago for the 8060A despite estimated dispatch being yesterday and them being marked as dispatched but I called them up and they haven't. TME - dispatched poland 4pm yesterday. Here 11:00am...At least my projects are go now on the parts front Edit: got hold of RS and apparently the three line items were dispatched from Japan despite being actually in stock for next day delivery ffs. Idiotic ordering system. Told I can't cancel them and just return them when they turn up.

Are they the guys that advertise "Free shipping" ? Not so free is it if they don't deliver. UPS 2 day for Mouser from Texas to NY is flat rate $7.99. Yea, not cheap but even during the worst of the pandemic always got the parts on time. And every once in a while they thanked me for being a customer by upgrading to next day without an additional charge. Can't beat that.
This auction is hilarious https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114325522986Comes with calibration certificate. Check the picture of the certificate. £37 GTFO
When I order from Mouser now, the items are shipped from the USA even though they have office in High Wycombe, so unless they start stocking over here, thats going to get progressively worse for a while.

There's nothing about whether they would survive an explosion. I'll bet that one would survive a good kicking if it is in the plastic case.They most certainly would float really well in their protective plastic cases thats for sure.

Pat's care package of 12AT7s and 6AU6s arrived safely...this has now fully restored the functionality of the Type CA plug-in. I just need to adjust it a bit for the new toobs. An issue remains with the Type 81 Plug-In Adapter. All of the non-type 80 series plug-ins I have EXCEPT for the Type Z exhibit serious 60 Hz hum issues when used in the adapter. Since the Type 81 contains a small transformer, a bridge rectifier, and few caps (including one big can stuffed in), I believe I may need to go all "med" on this thing and replace the caps. I am quite certain the 585A is not at fault because the Type 82 plug-in functions perfectly.
I'm only grumpy when I'm hot.
