No only did your friend, with the camera, get punched in the face but he got punched in the stomach and kicked in the groin as well. Not that I approve, but I can see why some people turn to the gun

That is very interesting and timely for my collection. What's the timeframe for getting back to you with a commitment? I need to examine 20 plugins ...And do you need a deposit or 100% upfront?

I once picked up a Project Mercury horizon scanner from a surplus dealer in Los Angeles. I was headed home and already had a lot of stuff that I was taking back as baggage, so I decided to ship it. I

Wasn't there a Dilbert strip like that where the company provided beer for the employees to loosen things up?  They ended up jousting with the forklifts in the warehouse!   Jim Ford Sent from my

My wife worked for a while in a BC Liquour control board warehouse, guys would drive the forks into a pallet just for a giggle............

Hi Radeng: Where abouts in Africa are you? They tell me it's a big place! (Apologies if you not in Africa... but, that's my best guess as to where your to.) Cheers -- Roy Thistle

It's all over. I had 3 pallets of solar cells delivered and there was a 20% breakage rate (glass smashed, frames bent). I think they dropped one pallet off a loading dock. About the only thing they

I'm starting a new thread for these, in the hope that others will see this and respond. I've proposed getting 150 of these "Adney Rings" made by a local machine shop. I have to buy that many in order

I had a very light meter, Huntron Tracker, that I shipped via Canada Post/USPS. The meter arrived with the back of case smashed and a damaged PCB. The box was totally stove in on one side. After much,

Using UHEs was what came to mind while sleeping on it. They definitely have the small diameter. I'd prefer an axial solution. Superficially for the aesthetics, more significantly for the long distance

Dave, Would these fit? https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Nichicon/UHE1C562MHD6?qs=%2Fha2pyFaduhn2raJlu2%2F0FQLbgkwz6LZB1%252BS6xn%252B0yk%3D Mark

Since we seem to be on the subject of filter caps: Last night I got a DC 505A apart so I could confirm that the +5v filter caps C25 and C26 are bad. Oh yeah, they're long gone. According to my Peak

Replacing the filter cans is a good idea. I did it in mine using high temp and long life types. If you can get low ESR types for these in addition to the long life and temp., good. Raising the values

Tom is spot on. I have repaired dozens of these scopes and do not subscribe to the "shotgun" approach of replacing all tantalum's. When they fail, tantalum caps usually do so in spectacular fashion

I will note that on examination Q1040 is a TO-3, not TO-92, along with its three fellows in that stage. I can't see a wattage reason for that, as the stage is strictly a voltage amplifier, with an

Here are some of my answers to your questions. Re: order of checking voltages. The order in which you check doesn't matter, frankly. Just check 'em all. You merely want to assess what's broken, and

Hello Specialists, Maybe you could give me some advice how to "debug" my broken TEK 475. It had worked the hour before and I switched it off. Realized that I might need it later, I repowered it

Hello All, Just a word of warning......... from the UK. I run the parts department of an agricultural dealer, as you can imagine some of the parts that are delivered to us are large, heavy and you

Hi all, I really like the recently acquired 454A that has found a new home with me. The ruggedized construction definitely seems beefier than the other 400 series scopes I've played with. The 150
