close. he's going to need at least 2 mirrors, a q-tip and a syringe

I just sent something to nate that may be of use to you. He could send it your way

what do you think it costs to store all those tubes? 2k a month?

yes, that floor is crazy

i like the floor in that room

that picture did a lot of damage, enrolling 0 new members here.

That's just paypal being jerks, google checkout lets you refund like 2 years later

I'm not sure why it matters. It's not going to arc because a small section of soldermask is missing. And that distance would have to be like 100x smaller to see arcing assuming there were no contaminants on the board

i thought i was picky if you're ever relying on soldermask on an electrostatic amp pcb to prevent a short you're already in trouble

if mikhail had used those, which half would have fallen off?

I don't think anyone suggested that a clone of a PMD100 or PCM1704 would actually attempt to copy the design of those chips....ok, i think counterfeit is the word that should be used

Hey, at least you know what chips are inside

i thought Bayside was Mets?

hitoridekimasu, you need to enable PMs if you want me to respond to you

I think the best way to evaluate solder joints is to look at the OTHER side of the board. Ideally the solder joint looks almost the same on both sides of the board. Sometimes this is impossible because the PCB hole size is too small or the component lead is too wide

...what?

omg, its jeff rowland style

prepare for maximum volume if the wiper disconnects

Laser will leave an entry/exit mark but should be fine if the piece is going to be painted or powdercoated

and thats why i had the ventilation holes punched on the BHSE instead of milled. 2 cents a hole vs 20 cents...

i disagree i think you'll be surprised how big a difference there is once you add the top/bottom covers. i'd put as much open space in them as possible

probably around 800 but i would have to check the current pricing. they may have revised it since the dollar dropped

KG has also asked me to see if anyone would be interested in a group buy for Alps RK50?

we shaved jp#s when he was passed out drunk, Fitz used a popsicle stick to put glue on our chests and then Brent dropped the hair on top. Then we stood up and shook off the excess and admired our designs.
