Like bd I'm not going to be around much for the next few days. And definitely won't be on Discord tomorrow. Yesterday after nearly 8 months of no contact the Lady Cop and I talked. It was my choice to break off all contact. But yesterday I let her plead her case. I'm partially, but not totally, convinced that she is regretful of the antics she has pulled in the past and realizes how it damages our relationship. But that remains to be seen. Anyway, she is coming up here to spend the weekend. And we'll take it from there.
To get those really pesky inbus/Allen/hex head screws out I usually employ 1/2" or 1/4" socket sets, with inbus/Allen/hex inserts, like so:...
I prefer one of these to get people's attention. Quite effective; even over EtherNet.
Good luck med. I don’t envy you.I did a pros and cons of new relationships spreadsheet and said fuck it and started buying more HP power supplies
question to the masses:are you folks interested in audiophoolery repairs ? I have a few appliances which need to be looked at and could share this with you. One of the topics is the Sony TA-E 86 with one channel dead, I also have 2 dead CD Players which I could try to revive (even though chances are slim).
Today cleared up a bit. Found myself with considerably less workload than expected. New German toys arrived This was mostly purchased to get the arms off my desk chair which would not budge with current tools That 10mm one is flipping huge!

It just so happens that my main receiver (Pioneer VSX-3800) has developed distortion on one channel in the pre-amp section and it's in my repair cue. I had planned on featuring it here even though it's not TE.
I don't. The definition of "enough" would be. sufficient to buy one of the channel islands, fortify it, and declare independence.

We'll need a good power source though.McBryce.

@BU508 on the Mentor Strip:I found the datasheet and have it scanned. It seems to be more complicated with 3 sub-versions exixting, but yours is definitely modified,

Ditto. Cool little receiver.
If you're talking about the SCR, it's probably a variant of the mod we all used to do on the old Weller WTCPN, etc to keep the MagnaStat contacts from burning up. Or are you suggesting that the temp control itself is a mod...? There was also a very common mod/project for the cheap firestick soldering irons as well; it used a pot and a triac to modulate duty cycle, in effect varying the wattage. It was little more than a DIY lamp dimmer, TBH.mnem

Beth and I have been together for so long because we both realized 2 things:1) Finding someone who is willing to put up with your shit is a rarity and should be treasured.2) We all have a MFT of shit that needs putting up with.mnem3) "Us" is more important than "me".
