Got the LV supplies done now. All good ?

Celebrated Father's Day with my parents in the blazing inferno. The car said 114 and may have been more accurate. I can see Stretch getting in a whole heap of trouble up here on a regular basis real soon.

Well I've reflowed a bunch of joints (probably more than was needed). Since then I haven't had problems with oscillation, excessive offset, etc. The sporadic noise seems to have gone as well, but of course just as I say that it'll come back to spite me. Anyway, thanks for the help. I think I can stop fucking with it and just use it to listen to music.

Happy Birthday! If your wife is having problems figuring out what to get you, may I suggest... https://driving-school.com/

Maybe they had to make it faster so owners could more quickly get it through the neighborhood and into the garage before neighbors noticed what a stupid looking car they drive.

My dad's watch is supposed to ship late this week. I asked for lug pics. I couldn't have asked for better chamfers.

The new Roger Waters album seems more like an homage to Pink Floyd by a cover band (eg Smell the Roses sounds like a worse version of Have a Cigar) so I'm going back to the real McCoy.

Harsh, but fair.

Can you put that in a high altitude extended holding for a while? Need to save fuel. Almost finished the layout for the other channel. This is the first board layout I’ve done from schematic in the software. By doing it this way I hopefully can avoid mistakes in the process of copy, mirror from the right channel board to the left … Thanks Kevin, Kerry and others for new ideas that I can exploit.

Marched in the Knoxville pride parade with my family and some local libertarians.

Have a great one! And a doubly great one for Father's Day!

Agreed. It may be Waters' best album in 30 years, but that doesn't make it that great. I was disappointed.

Happy Birthday, Kerry!

........... shoulda got the YGGY.............

One of the prime requisites to work with high voltage power supplies......

Enjoyed watching the US team clean up at the Pan Am fencing Championships. Lot's of familiar faces, great job team USA! Starting two weeks of pre-nationals training camp then off to the land of the Mormons for the Supreme National Battle Royal.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Kerry! Hope you had a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday Kerry! (and fathers day while we're at it) All you can eat sushi sounds like a challenge.

No, his name is Shawn. I've had relatively few flats in my time in the saddle and hope the trend continues.

Thanks everyone. I just got back from all you can eat sushi with the family. Nice day today. My boys could put them out of business

Happy birthday, Kerry!

Caught up with all three seasons this past week/weekend. Wonderfully scripted & deftly delivered. Fantastic performances all around. I love Lily Tomlin even more than I did before, if that's possible.

Happy Birthday, Kerry!

Happy Birthday, Kerry!

Happy birthday!

Your wife is most certainly right, but to be five years you are really good.

That is freakin' awesome!

Thanks! I posted about this "universal" PSU in the Carbon thread I think. It's a GRHV tuned for 400VDC rails and a GRLV tuned for 18VDC rails. It also has 2 sets of 6.3vac/4A secondaries from the Antek AS3T325 transformer (300VA, 325v/450mA x 2 and 6.3v/4A x 2). I put a switch and thermistors on the 325v secondaries to function as a manual B+ delay. I originally had one resistor in series with each of the two 6.3vac secondaries to lower the filament supply to the EL34 but have removed them a few weeks ago when I realized I was already losing a few 10th of volts between the tranny and the amp board. I bought a 7-pin female chassis socket I intend to replace the male one I am using now but have not gotten around to do it. I don't have small children in the house to worry about but I have been known to do stupid things that only 5 years old would do (according to my wife).

The second version of both boards has the servo from Kerry's schematic. There's no obvious way (to me anyway) to disable it. With the servo components removed the offset pot works and I can adjust the offset and balance to a volt or two from zero. I guess that means the servo works.

I built this yesterday. There's some noise that I need to track down, but otherwise it seems to work. The offset adjusts to within a few volts using the balance pot; the offset pot doesn't seem to do much. Offset drifts a bit and I'm not sure I'm adjusting it right. Is there some way to disable the servo?

Honda can build motors, yet not for Formula 1

Went to my sister's to assemble a Hampstead corner cabinet. What a shock. The instructions were clear and all of the parts were there. So it went together pretty easily.

Hah. Just realized the easiest way to get Jeff to buy new wheels: "Hey Jeff, I have those Shimano R500 wheels on my bike too!" On another​ note, been a bike heavy day today. Had a swap meet and bought 40$ of stuff for 30$, then went and ride with Xavier and one of good friends and their family. **BRENT**

Summer time...

Put on the shim and FSA seatpost. Now this bike rides as nicely as I remember the DeSalvo rolling. Shaved a few ounces off from the tree trunk of the seat post I took off as well. Somehow managed to shave 8 seconds off my PR on my neighborhood climb so those few ounces must have been some really heavy ounces. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
