I cut those idiotic ears off my SDM 3055. 

That looks mutilated 

I have to agree. Looks like med was trying to out-booty his previous booty fab. 

...The fan is irritating I will add. It's not the fan but the stupidly designed grille on the side.

Noctua love you long time.

Be Quiet shit goes around here. Cheaper!

Be Quiet not love you long time.

Here's what it looks like if you remove those idiotic baby buggy bumpers. But the front feet are integrated into the bumper.

3DP love you long time !!!

mnem
And your wallet too... it love that extra-fluffy!!!

[mnementh]

Welp... figured out why it's a oil-leaking bitch. This bolt hole in the blower shroud  is no more, which means the oil-filler tube is not held tight against the rubber seal in the crankcase. Yes, I have a donor unit... but the shroud looks like it got pooped on by a grease monster and of course, the shroud is where they put the dataplate, so engine model #, displacement, DOM etc are all wrong.

*sigh*

Well fuck it. My 90 year old neighbour has decided to turn the TV up to 11 this evening to the point I can’t actually hear my own one or my own thoughts.

Audio revenge is being sought on YouTube at the moment. Going to stick the BT speaker I have up the fucking chimney. It sounds like ass but it’s louder than a loud thing from planet deaf so it’ll either flush a couple of dead pigeons into her fire place or knock her ornaments off the fire.

I don't always listen to Led Zeppelin, but when I do, the neighbours do too!

Time for Mothership.

Not loud enough - she’s deaf  . Two minute of “Lost highway 45” by “imminent starvation” did the trick.

Now chilling out to some DCD https://youtu.be/wAnPvpAiELo

I have some booty for you.

[Kosmic]

I'd be ripping those mutant ears off it right away...

Those ears allow you to stand it on either end while making connections without it toppling over. Should other gears from the same brand be stacked they all interlock to each other.

bd, enjoy the thing  just sold my 6022X as a customer badly needed one and I only had that demo unit so now the 5 week wait for another to arrive.

Yes they're staying on.

Enjoying already. Just found it does DSB modulation as well. Winner!

So ... you finally admit that you do a little bit more than painting those poor TE in blue. You also chop some parts off ? this is torture, no more pictures please. I don't want to see the one you’re hiding in your basement.

Right back atcha, buddy.

Better run before a nice big can of blue Krylon gets stuffed up in there.

Brazed a washer or two on a few Briggs and the like over the years.
Simple fix if you have the gears. 

[Brumby]

I was going to mention a strong sense of déjà vu with Med's Mechanical Mayhem - but if this is where the conversation is heading, I think I'll go and clean up my garage....

[mnementh]

Naaahhh... I'm done. Too busy fixin'.

Yes, Papa Smurf has a dark side. 

Edit, you should see what's lurking in the TEA closet.

Sideways. 

[med6753]

I'll just leave this here before retiring for the evening and sleeping guilt free. 

NOTE..... I strongly suggest that if you have a weak constitution you close your browser immediately and call your shrink.  This could scar you for life. You have been warned.

Exactly. "Meh". But we must account for any snowflakes who could potentially have a violent reaction.

Deaf in one ear and can't hear out the other. Bet she has the heat on too.

Any one have any idea what kind of HV plug type needed for the big white HV terminal ? Is that proprietary ?

The leads for your tester are probably these, hopefully you will be able to find something to fit.


David

David, thanks. 

That white plug, looks like a mutant banana to me, as it has non standard long body.

OMG you did not make a 'scope tube clock' out of you 465, did you?

Playing with the Keithley 238:



What's missing on the photo?

Triax? Top cover screws? 

[capt bullshot]

Triax is on its way to me. Screws? What are they good for? 

Otherwise: Wrong answer.
