I had to cut all four edges of both doors, because the contractor didn't listen and built out the doors jambs. I got a little nervous when I pulled out the track saw and discovered a thin curf blade on it. I learned that thin curf blades on a track saw cutting hardwood can be a disaster. The thinner blade will actually bend into the track, destroying your project and your track. I've been buying specific Makita track saw blades, but no time to order one now. So instead I just went very slowly, watching the edge of the blade the whole time. Made four beautiful cuts. One door down, one to go. Then it's hinge recessing time.

These caps are extremely transparent in the many uses I did. Both high voltage 600 and 1000 volts I’ve used them in dc blocking and seem to have a neutral sound has anyone tried these in Amps and pre amps I’m curious to know what others think I’m not a fan of anything oil as I feel they color the sound. In addition in stat amp builds 400 vdc seems on the edge of max range why don’t builders use 1000 vdc rated caps ? ABD0000C255.pdf

The part tested ok and seems to a 15 volt reg mc 7915ctg mc 7815ctg

Hey, San Anselmo The Tom Finch Band and a Good Boy Is Rockin' under the redwoods into the night

I can't get enough of Kardi Bonus banger live version of an early barnburner:

Ok thanks. At first I thought exploded lol I removed them and replaced them. I tested them and they work fine

They seem to be some sort of discrete voltage reg made to replace std. 78xx/79xx regs. Sparkos makes some, and I saw some on aliexpress, but nothing that looks exactly like these.

The part tested ok and seems to a 15 volt reg mc 7915ctg mc 7815ctg Bottom right is where the reg were Below the vishey 4700uf caps

Fair warning: Incoming gratuitous cat photos. I've been editing a bunch of shots I took 12-15 years ago. Two friends of mine (who are now married and have son about to turn eight) lived in an apartment in a former mill town. They had two cats. Ozzie was a Russian Blue and exhibited the characteristics of his breed. He was inquisitive, always tuned into what the silly humans were doing, but also very independent. He was not a lap cat. The other kitty was Mauro, who ...a bit heavyset (he was an absolute chonker) and possibly the extreme example of a polydactyl cat I have ever seen. Ozzie's antics were legendary and I took many photos of him "helping" me DJ. These four I posted when I took them in the spring of 2010: Note the first photo being used as the wallpaper in this shot. Ozzie helping me wire up my Korg Z1's MIDI connections. I mentioned in another thread that Kate (one half of the couple mentioned above) had a birthday on the 11th of this month. I had plans (of the "mice and men") variety to send her a bunch of photos from early 2010s on her birthday, but it took me a week to finish editing them. I mean, I'm still editing them, but that's another matter. All of the above were photos I edited and posted around the time they were taken. The following are newly edited. In August of 2010, we (and by "we" I mean "me and I have no idea who else") did a "photo shoot" with Ozzie and some accessories: Ozzie was mostly cooperative (not a guaranteed thing) an held still while we placed smokes, Snapple, a phone and some kibble in front of him. Another shot of Ozzie with wallpaper Ozzie behind him. I used the 50mm DoF separate the actual cat from the photo of him, but still keep the latter recognizable. Ozzie, warming himself on the exhaust fan of a Windows laptop. He's got his paws on a USB battery. Part of the "Where is your god meow?" series I did with Ozzie. Circle cat could use a good brushing, but I wouldn't recommend trying it. Ears back momentarily, for aerodynamics. Mauro being chill, which was his normal state. He was very stead in a windstorm. Tune in next time for pre-civil war bridges!

Seems legit!

Does this make Stretch an honorary musician?

In case you're interested.

Happy Birthday!

¡Feliz cumpleaños! What bike are you buying yourself for your birthday?

Hello, testing CFA3P here, seems to work fine, but it is running really hot at 150mA bias, wanted 250mA bias, but this impossible with used sinks. Powered with 30V PS. Do I need to change some values to run it with lower bias than designed 500mA? Thank you!
