Here's my balance servo module. It uses 4 HN4C51J's. Works great... You could make a little board with the HN4C51J that pins out to the 2SC3381.

Have a stupendous day!

Thank you. Them pins looks very interesting indeed. Regarding my current project. Goal with it was to build a T2 on an original board with all modern components. After a visit in the ditch I returned to the narrow road. Rebuilt the batteries to original LED version on the board. Had to change some resistors as I reduced voltages - battery is 640V instead of the original 740V. Furthermore the change to fjpf2145 instead of 2sc3675 called for a Darlington par out of pair of fjpf2145 in batteries. Very easy to make a Darington pair on the original board. Yellow Teflon wire from base to a via on the board – perfect and the via has a perfect diameter. Some components (ksa1220, ksc2690,ksc1008 and j112) have different pin out as the original ones so I twisted their legs to fit the board. Thanks Michael (mwl168) for how to bend legs on the ksc1008. Bottom line: I believe I’ve built a decent version of DIY T2 with all modern components. I’m satisfied and am about to make myself not so sober (it’s Friday evening). P.S. some problem with one channel, unwanted noise and hum. Happens now and then if you have T2s…

Okay all those 'musicians' out there trying to record at home... This is how you record at home.

Coincidently, I met "Tokyo Rose" Eva Toguri in Chicago back when I was a kid.

Well you out distanced and out climbed us so there's that.

Yeah you do. Mine was considerably cooler (nearly 50F).

Actually this is for yesterday. I think I win the "hottest bike ride" award.

Sophie Milman (2006) In retrospect, I think her first album was the best one.

Happy Birthday, Shelly!

The sad demise of Florian Schneider prompted me to listen to the astonishing 22 minute version of Autobahn - for the first time in decades. They were so superb - there was nothing to compare to their electronic minimalist, almost Philip Glass musical style - in the early 70's. RIP Schneider.

I was the 666th like on that video.

You're doing it wrong.

The pins are from Mill-Max: 0995-0-00-15-00-00-03-0 and 6857-0-15-15-47-27-10-0 The Mill-Max site has a decent configurator for pins and quite a lot of options. You might also consider these: 3114-2-00-15-00-00-08-0 I use them with standard dip sockets. This is my delay module

That doesn't sound to far off Gaspar Noé's Love.

Nice balance servo. Here is an old T2 board with small boards with HN4C51J replacing 2SC3381. By the way Kerry, what kind of pins do you use with your small daughter boards?

Salmon tikka masala with black rice. Used the stove top directions for the rice, came out a little ahead of schedule. Removed from stovetop, covered. Now, everything is ready and salmon came out perfect. Again.

The cheapest Memphis is almost double the Traeger and the WAF is already going to be WAY low on this.

The ease of use is great indeed, Jim! I have a core setup on NUC's in my home and in my Maine condo. It's easy to switch the license back and forth, so I can enjoy that anywhere. I have 5 end-points at home, and (when set back up, if I can ever get there) 2 in Maine. Only use TIDAL and local libraries for now, may give Qobuz a try, and if Roon integrates with the Amazon service, we'll see about that.....

OK I have to change my mind on Roon. I spent the morning reinstalling my Roon Core and now it all works flawlessly. Since both Roon as well as my infrastructure has changed significantly since the last time I used it I do not know what caused this improvement, but I am happy. Seamless integration of my collection as well as Tidal and Qobuz and easy switching of where I want it to play. I now see its popularity.

Now I’ve tried them. KSC1008, put them in like this, one from component side and the other from solder side. Save you a lot of money. J112, changed 22K resistor to 13.7K then able to adjust to 6.55V. Doesn’t save you so much money.

Got good news from PCBnet - they will remanufacture the PSU main boards to the spec'ed 2mm thickness. Expect to be shipped next week. PCBnet has truly been a top notch company to do business with. Their product quality and customer service have both been excellent!

In this two months of confinement has given me time to rediscover things like this:

I just weighed myself and I'm under 200 lbs for the first time in longer than I can remember, definitely over a decade(!)

Love Grimes, she weird. That is all.

The Ruike P801 is my beater knife of choice. It's cheap enough that I don't care about hacking the edge into things I probably shouldn't and dinging the crap out of it, yet the performance is still good enough that it holds its own against knives that are 3-4 times the price. The only thing I'd change is the ball bearing blade pivot, they're unsealed bearings so they get gunked up easily, I'd rather have cheap & cheery bushings since they're more resistant to crud. Also takes a surprisingly fine edge, out of all my stainless steel knives only the Benchmade 581 sharpens to a finer edge.

Went to the locker this afternoon. Among others there was this
