You must get that big iron amplifier in the background up and running and blasting some Dark Side of the Moon.

BLEEEEARRRRGHHH!!! Black coffee is for bitter people with dried up little souls. Like Sid. 

You rang. Sitting here drinking the stuff 

Engineers and IT folk exist on the stuff mostly.

Edit: med knows how to coffee like an engineer 

Please don't insult me by calling me an engineer. 

Hey I said like an engineer

The 2235 service manual that I downloaded from TekWiki has cut off parts of the schematics which were originally a fold out page. Artek Manuals to the rescue. The schematics are complete since they imaged the entire fold out page as one sheet. I don't know why I bother going to any other source. Artek stuff is always superior and cheap. $6.95 USD for a downloadable link. 

Edit....oh here is some real dumbassery. Heard on scanner. Mental health worker goes to work and leaves keys in car. Comes out later and car is gone. Calls cops. Cops find car further down the road abandoned and wrecked.

D'OH. 

There was an article in the paper here a few days ago that a running car was stolen from a local gas station while the owner was inside the quickie-mart.  All captured perfectly on the surveillance tape - another car (stolen) pulls along side in the other pump lane, guy gets out of passenger door and into running car, both drive off.  Something like 17 seconds total elapsed time, pull up to both vehicles driving off.  Why do people STILL leave their fucking cars running while they 'run in' somewhere?  FFS, I've known to take the keys out of the car since I was like fourteen years old and not even driving yet!  I have no sympathy for the 'victims' of this sort of thing.

Edit - my mistake - SEVEN seconds!

Neither do I, and afaik neither do the insurance companies.

Can someone PM me Dave's email? I need to inform him about an attempted phishing attack in the comments of one of his latest videos.

That's the WINTER amplifier!  (well, one of them, anyway...)

Dynaco ST-70 clone.  I know I've posted these pics here before, but am doing it again because it's purty when it's all warmed up.

A different Tektronix mug showed up the other day on our favorite bank account evacuation site, so I snagged it.  It arrived today.  Smaller than the cobalt blue one (still my favorite) but nice to have another, different one.

But you still don't own one of those:

I assume, tautech meant the report function here in the forum. So, for example, if you report your own message here, the mods will forward  it to Dave.

And then I get banned for attempting a phishing attack on myself? No ty

Considering YT didn’t do anything for bullshit pedalling anti 5G wankers I wouldn’t even bother.

Maybe you should give some credits to the intelligence of the mods and/or Dave's.

Not too much though if jumping in here to tell us off  without any context of who raised their interest is anything to go by.

No, but Dave can delete comments from his own vid can't he?

If I'm on my own, I always lock the car when paying for the fuel, and even if I have passengers, I always take the keys with me, just basic common sense surely?

BTW insane BC183L pricing comes from 1968 fuzz face pedal hysteria going on at the moment. I just bought 200 crap ones and will put them in the cupboard for 20 years until there’s a supply shortage and hype event.

Also doing a spreadsheet of legendary pedals and transistor complement.

Yep, God knows we tried and tried but they just seemed to ignore it at the time.

Why not put out working PCB-designs for those circuits on e.g. Github? People can then order & stuff the boards themself

I could do that. Actually my eldest's boyfriend is a semi-professional guitarist aka unemployed music student, so I can probably bend him to actually demo something on YT to leverage it
