Gambled. Whoever thought water, coffee and Milo should be the only option at a casino needs to be shot. On the flip side, the vast number of baccarat tables unlike 2 tables on a good night in Vegas is nice. Also no double-zero roulette nonsense.

Even the Chinese have standards...

Fuckers. Or. Cunts.

I can't believe you guys haven't seen the light with pluggable PCB connectors.

Tapatalk seems to be down for me. Anyone else having problems?

A few of these bad boys..

Perhaps add a bit more rail capacitance and holes next to the power supply pads for probe points. I would also space the test point locations out a bit. Yeah there are probably lots of little things here and there.

There is also an aesthetic concern. I like the legs to come straight off the devices and then have a single 90 degree bend. Going thicker means you won't have enough lead material to do this. You will also have to bend at the base of the transistor, if I recall. The concern doing this is arcing from the lead to the bracket edge if this angle becomes significant. You can avoid this by machining more off the edge, but then you don't get as good heat transfer between the device and the bracket as part of the case slug is exposed to free air.

I love owing money for that very reason.

How electrically do tubes die? What is open and what is short?

No, it was the next run when someone other than Kevin or Birgir did one.

Every one has some issue with some tube vendors. JJ to me seems the worst though. The Winged-C at Upscale are the older ones though, IIRC.

Those headaches would be interesting, considering its direct attached.

Are you using jumbo frames?

Matched pairs. If you buy from Upscale you will probably get a close quad as they work from a decent inventory.

Rly?

nopants: you didn't miss much other than a lesson in gain structure with the F5 + K1000.

I like the triangle.

Unless you have perfect math and tolerances, leaving some extra room in the panel bearing might be a good idea. You can go a bit bigger and the nut (not to mention the knob) will cover it up.

I probably have $1K in the Ball and more like $1400 in the Sinn. Have boxes and all paperwork for each. I would go down a bit as I am getting a good deal on their replacement. Also willing to let anyone inspect them on loan. More looking for interest (enablement) as I am out if the country and the Sinn is getting serviced in Germany.

Ah. Doesn't help my theory then Sent from my unknown using Tapatalk

They seem much more efficient to me. Ironically, the higher heat might help stability a bit as hfe rises with junction temperature and there are some places where the hfe of the transistors seem important. As KG said, surely some transistors were matched and hand-picked, but that process has been lost to the ages. Also depends on what height you pick, obviously. You aren't bound to the same height the original used and a bit more height will allow you to center items on the panels if that's important to you. The other factor might be finishing, raw aluminum versus powder coating (not sure how the original GB were finished)? Sent from my unknown using Tapatalk

Perhaps looking to sell some watches. The Sinn 856S BKA is getting serviced including Ar gas refill and the Ball is in nearly new condition. Found something I would like but need a bit more cash. If there is interest PM. Otherwise I will have to wait until April and hope the item I am looking at doesn't sell.
