With a bit of rigging, look what’s making music:

Finished putting together a saw.

Dr. Wood was complaining about this iPod not working right, with a suspected bad hard drive, so after some post office delays... A new battery that'll properly hold a charge should also be here soon.

Hadn't heard of this show, until Al texted me about it last night. I got sucked in by episode one, with great music and fun characters, so I started watching more tonight. It takes place in London in 1983-88. I just finished, it's only 5 episodes. I feel like I just did a tour on the front lines of a horrible battle. It's not for the faint of heart, but it's the most realistic portrayal of the AIDS epidemic I've seen. It brought up so many memories that I haven't confronted in so long, and friends cut down way too early. A rough ride, but maybe that's what it has to be, to tell the real story.

How soon will you start shipping dressed lumber to smaller stick smashers?

Woo... finally found a SME 309. Now I need an extra head-shell that isn’t a zillion dollars.

Someone has to do it. Who better than a fairy?

Put a mobile base on a saw.

I would argue that Grado upon seeing said Note would take extra care in making sure the drivers were definitely replaced and fucked with.

A couple of old T2 BOMs I have use a 71-CMF60-5M for the 5M resistor.

I don't think the temperature coefficient will matter in this part of the circuit but I guess both resistors would work just fine considering their voltage rating.

I used Vishay VR37000004704FR500 Metal Film 1/2W 4.7M 1% in my KGSSHV. Mouser P/N: 594-VR37000004704FR5

He's going to buy whole cows and cut his own briskets.

Nice virtual tour of Wright's Imperial Hotel.

That is Hawt as Fuk

I doubt the thing would even budge if I attempted something like that.

I just bear hugged the fucker. Not as easy as Shelly to toss over my shoulder but I managed.

I was having a stroke and Al just laughed and continued taking pictures. Or I could have been acting like an idiot. Can't remember which.

unloaded some wood.

Ok, tach seems to be working - enough done today where I am going to try and rig up a tonearm and do some listening before I go back to working on the software for the controller IMG_2369.MOV

Got the rear panel of the controller populated and rigged it up and we have a revolution! The iPhone camera shutter must be faster than my display refresh

Some pics of the motor housing restoration / upgrade, as everything got back from the polisher today (excuse the fingerprints). My previous DIY motor housings have just had a top plate with the motor attached. This one actually clamps the motor against a piece of sorbothane sheeting which resulted in a lot less noise at the platter. Now I need to work on the motor controller

Compromises.

"The subwoofer was rattling." At this point it's an audiophile trope.
