My older sister and a good friend both got asthma after the last smoke fest down here. It's been quite a while since the sun was blotted out. I used my acid/paint vapor canister mask and did not smell a thing. Goggles too, freaking ashes BURN. I looked crazy but at least I don't need an...

I knew he had wooden teeth....

All they did here in SoCal was add perfume to the stores. Studies done in the 70's showed that virus can 'ride' on perfume particles. So it was actually counter productive. And I'm allergic to perfume (think peanuts and swollen air path), so I had to wear my OSHA 'acid vapor' approved dual...

I found a roll of electrostatic filter material. I'm gonna try adding this in front of the activated carbon in my Weller extractor. 11 feet x 1 foot. Lifetime supply... The air makes static going through the first layer 100% polyester material, the static pulls the particles into the second...

Looked up on chemistry sites. Holy $#!+ it can evaporate at 20c!!!! I don't think it can evaporate when it's mixed in with other metals tho. 1940's & 50's government data on chelation therapy for arsenic and mercury "intoxication" :oops: Including pics of people detoxed and it only takes...

Strangely enough the lead isn't dangerous until it gets mixed with stomach acid. So don't eat your solder!!! Mercury is HIGHLY toxic tho, where were you exposed to that? If you breath mercury vapor, it turns back into metal in your lungs and starts ripping through tissues until it hits the...

My colloquial expression for "The A/C fan". Good friend that I grew up with owned a $32 million a year A/C company here in the San Fernando Valley. I was a computer programmer, but grew up with Mason's as my uncles. So I tiled the floors, bathroom and kitchen in his house and he installed A/C...

Agreed, but the roof of my shop is AFU for the past 3 years as I dug my way out of debt post-wife-died-after-vaccine. I have a 48" 1200cfm range hood that was shipped to me by mistake that I'm going to install after I save the $2k to fix the roof. Right now I'm working on a 8' table in the...

As an expert in manufacturing, all I can say is Scrap/MRB/Rework is the most important part of product development, along with version control, operator tracking, etc. Sounds like they may not have a firm grasp on that yet. Good luck with the iron.

V2 of my modded Weller fume extractor is going to have dimmable LED's in the cowling. Got the parts. Just need the time. Being retired is busier than when I had a job, lol....

They have swamps and alligators in Finland??? :sneaky:

$400 cat tree 3 feet to the left.....

Didn't feel a thing! Fun fact, there are over 200 quakes in CA every day but most happen in uninhabited areas.... I was a block away from the epicenter of the '71 quake and 4 miles from the epicenter of the '94 quake. Both very VERY bad quakes.... Both very early in the morning.

Hey, this was on TGP on a question about the reliability of PCB vs PTP. Sounds like exactly what has happened to your amp. Have you had any luck with trouble shooting this?

Well, the 6.3vac has a LOT of amps. It makes the tubes glow red and if the bias is adjusted wrong it can MELT GLASS, so it could very well have caused that if it maybe just vibrated loose and arced. I noticed you put your post on a 12 year old post. A lot of people don't even look at necro...

I myself am swamped with housework and am going to be mostly offline for the next few days. Try joining TheGearPage and make a new post "Help me with my modded V33". This is the link https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?forums/amps-cabs-tech-corner-amplifier-cab-speakers.11/ Serious...

He just got it put back together tho!!!! 🤟 :ROFLMAO:

In my own defense, I'd like to point out that I wanted something nice for my birthday 2024 and I had just paid off the Credit Card which got clobbered with medical/funeral expenses when my wife kicked the bucket in 2021. I started by looking at kits, then assembled kits, then really old RED LED...

Love the appearance of night pics on the iphone 14. And it looks like it's time to paint the trim on the house before next rainy season....

Isn't that the prison where OJ Simpson was incarcerated? I saw it on "JAIL" on REELZ channel. Looks about the same.... Except for the faux swimming pool......
