  3. My K1000 arrived today!

    BSW are a top notch outfit. I've been buying equipment for WAMH from them for over eight years now. They are geared toward selling to professionals, not the general public. This means their reps have lots of useful information, not loathesome marketing techniques.

  19. What did you do today?

    Sorry about your loose screw, and the one in the preamp too! Buh dum bump!

    Good luck with that. I had that disappointment recently but it's better to find out now than to fry the thing.

    Waitaminnit, is DOTU mocking me for having a loose screw* in one breath and then telling me the damage his loose screw caused with the next? You really are a lawyer. /me ducks :dotu:

    After painful long minutes removing the umpteen screws from the top of the LS9, I got the panel off, and found ...a plastic fiddly bit floating around in there.

    Terrible picture, the Canon EF 17-40 F/4L is about the farthest thing from a macro lens. :palm: I don't think it would have shorted anything out, but I'm glad I got it out of there.

    Coming soon to a certain other thread: LS9 internal pix I had not intended on taking. knuckledragger-albums-smileys-picture241-blink.gif

    *A fact that should be rather apparent at this point.

    I have had problems with FedEx and UPS. Mostly misplaced, delayed and misdelivered packages. Fortunately I have never had to file a claim with either, I hope that day never comes.

    I have never lost a package, had a package damaged or had to call, deal with, or yell at a postal worker. Perhaps its a fluke, but USPS has never failed for me, both domestic and international. Plus, if you go into your local post office often enough you get to know them and they get to know you. It doesn't hurt to bring homemade pumpkin bread during Christmas ;)

    OT: What I did today: Nailed my presentation at work, the boss was impressed and they want to subscribe to my newsletter. So that's good.

    x2 on pretty much all of this. I have sent and received some huge, expensive items (DMX-512 lights) via USPS with little or no problems. I should keep a logbook for the problems I had with UPS. It used to be, 10 or so years ago, that FedEx was the more expensive, better alternative to "Brown." I'm quite sure that the "better" part no longer applies. FedEx are so incompetent that I'm going to start calling them "Fudd Ex." huhuhuhuhuh.

    I had good luck with DHL while they did business in this country, but that was only involving a handful of items.

    FedEx has fucked up 2 deliveries for me in the last 2 weeks. Did you wait all day?

    I did indeed, re-arranging my whole day so I could be here to sign for the package. I wasted all day yesterday and 2/3 of today. Finally, at 3:45 this afternoon this arrived:

    ...and inside the huge box was this:

    Unfortunately, it rattles like there's a loose screw or component inside of it. :eek::palm::mad:

    I'm going to let it get up to room temperature and then see about taking it apart and investigated.

  25. Post the last thing you bought!
