I’ve been to quite a few warehouses to pick up stuff I had delivered by freight. It’s a lot cheaper to pick it up compared with home delivery since they need to dispatch a truck with a lift gate

Dear Tom, Michael and Mark, Thank you very much for your extensive answers. I will attempt to diagnose / repair the TEK475 in the next few weeks and will surely report back on the

I'm trying to convince myself not to bid on this 485 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/393631311648) which has no bids, mostly because I don't have the cash, but also because I already have a 2465 that I am

That sounds like a Drew Carey show episode where Oswald smashed the scanner in shipping while playing on a forklift.

My last UPS delivery arrived as an empty, torn box with tire tracks on it. The Ebay seller won't even reply to me, so I'm going to ask for a refund from Ebay or Paypal. A UPS delivery before that was

I reuse boxes all the time, and have a huge selection, because even though most of what I ship goes in the flat rate boxes, some items don't.  I always either strip off old labels or black them out,

I don't have any timeframe in mind, but the machine shop predicted a lead time of 5-6 weeks. They must be busy. I don't plan to place an order for these until I've got enough commitments to get me

Blame it on me: I wasn't doing a proper job of searching Mouser. Not even sure what I did to get only two results. Using Mark Vincent's search as a start point I found the variety of Vishay axial

Jim, After I committed to only 10 rings, I did a more thorough survey of my letter and 1-series collection, and I would like to increase my order to 20 rings. Almost every plug-in in my collection

For anyone needing more than just a repair ring, I have a handful of NOS Tek Made pots in this style. Send your part number requests and I'll see what I have. Dave Casey yahoo.com@groups.io>

Dave, How close are the mechanical tolerances? The highest values for each voltage range (e.g. 6800 uF @ 16 V) is only 21mm in diameter. Would that still fit in the space? Otherwise, my (relatively

I can see, sort of, if there's an old label with a bar code, or a bar code printed on the box. I remove those, or black them out, with a marker. I'm not so sure why it should matter... particularly

I am Italian an electronic hobbyist. In 20 years, with eBay sales, I have shipped more than 2500 packages around the world. From what I have read on this topic I have understood that "the whole world

Dave, Take one lead and bend it so it goes in one hole. The other lead bend it so it is over or under, under if the bare wire does not touch other traces. Then use a solid wire as the extension to

That looks pretty good! I've been studying Vishay's website, and the 500D series was looking promising, but couldn't find the right size available for sale. It's been kind of maddening how this

Dave, Will this Vishay work?

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
