    💬 OT Does anyone else hope malls make a comeback?

    I am with you there man. I have this from one of my old offices. Some times things are just gone. I would love to go back and see it though.

    I could see that one potentially being hard for you. Then again you may just be like "die in a fire" too.

    💸 For Sale 1986 Buick Regal Grand National - $40k - Franklin, IN

    GLWS. If you haven't looked at his build thread LOOK AT HIS BUILD THREAD. I've always been impressed with his work, if I didn't have a wife/kid/dogs/401K I'd be beating down his door.

    🔧 BUILD Quarter Life Crisis. It's a thing. v.GN

    You know, it's funny to me. I think that it's cool I have things that are old and have appreciated in value, but then I realize I'd rather that they were cheap so I could acquire more to enjoy or not worry about the ones I have now.

    $180 at DigiKey. Probably the most electronics parts I've ever ordered in one shot. This should be fun. Stuff for both rebuild projects and for original designs.

    I will say I do like the looks of the GMT400 better. I could see it being a pretty easy engine swap too, if one desired to.

    💬 OT TCG Musicians, or Guitar gear junkies?

    Okay, so I won't call this a restoration. That would infer that I'm trying to make it cosmetically original as plausible. I will call this more of a repair, it's a Fisher KX200. I bought this in the day for a bit over a hundred bucks on ebay, with tubes that quite literally had the getter burned...

    Odd request, does anyone have a dead multi section capacitor they'd throw in an envelope and send me for a few bucks? I'll post why in a bit, but I don't have any real size constraints length wise and 2+ lugs are better however I'd take a single lug can if that's what you've got.

    💬 OT An AI-controlled F16 has performed its first ever dogfight with a human pilot

    In some ways it doesn't matter right now, because if you think about the fact the plane was in a dog fight and didn't crash that's really astounding.

    Absolutely. The whole "We have F16s and nukes" attitude will get much worse over time.

    💬 OT The (not really) official electronics workbench thread

    Today was a lot more mundane than my last stuff, and a lesson on why we replace capacitors. I ripped the orange ones out of my hp-13 heathkit power supply. They had an esr of anywhere from about .2 to 1 ohm. There are a couple of tiny ones that had an esr of 4 ohms by my meter. This magnavox...
