Oh, I forgot. Part of bean’s challenge was to do good. During Advent season, we (tried) to collect for the food pantry. Not food, but things that don’t get supplied. We chose laundry soap (and other soaps). We need to collect more, but this is a good start.

I took the wire, because I literally just ran out and have been salvaging scraps. It looks like 22AWG, so good for tube preamp work.

That is 22AWG from smallbear These packages are really blowing up. You guys are killing it!

Good on you. Thank you.

I barely, barely, squeezed in my contribution (albeit not as cool) with everything else.

Wait did we bump the box size‽

I sent along your box. Just removed a few sheets of bubble wrap.

 

[jessenator]

foreshortening, I guess

Box has landed back in Nashville.
Took a little bit from here and there.

Some RWL PCBs, 1032L, pair of edcor transformers that have been in my ebay cart for months, 3101 and a that SIP, Blackhat 3D printed boss enclosure baseplate, a purple knob, some film caps and the last of beans low profile elcaps that traveled around the country to get back to 25 miles from where they started.
I have a lot of my contribution together but still need to locate a few things. Will try to get this back out tomorrow.

 

[jwin615]

We need a bigger box...

 

[jwin615]

Could seriously split this in two.

It’s like when that dude at the party lights a joint, passes it, then lights another joint and passes that one.

Or maybe everyone keeps adding more white washers, and we’re none the wiser.

Don't worry yourself. There's white washers.

Yay! I’m glad those edcors found a good home! They were in my cart for a while too but I’m very happy I pulled the trigger on them. Such a tone difference from the standard Ty-141 tranny. I used mine for a reamp box and I may switch out the duo cast for one as well.

I got to stop doing these PIFs, last year I had a hip replaced right in the middle of it, this year I'm having a TLIF L3-L5 on February 12th, guess I better round some stuff up and get it upstairs this weekend,

Well, this is awkward. The 2026 PIF is going to be live kidneys.

(good luck!)

Not a problem for me.

I have my sources.

Wait, how does stick person have kidneys? One would think you would need AT LEAST 3 dimensions for that unless…..

Oh. Ohhhhh.
