Thank you, it's a very kind offer. I wouldn't want to burden you. We are divided by an ocean guarded by officials who demand fees at ever turn. Additionally, my living quarters don't really allow me to build anything at the moment.
So, dear @fig , I'll take a rain check for now!

I taught a man in his 70s when I was in my mid twenties. I enjoyed his enthusiasm almost as much as his money. He sounded terrible at the beginning and by the time he quit, he only sounded kind of bad. It was a waste of nobodies time. You should've tossed the teacher, not the instrument. Sounding bad can be fun.

That being said, violin is particularly difficult to pick up. I played in a high level youth orchestra ages ago and the violin section was filled with kids who'd been taking it serious since the age of 5. Most beginners are too small to hold a regular violin. Far more early starters than any of the other sections. You may not have time to to become the next Itzhak Pearlman but you can fiddle if you want to. Respect for trying.

I am so sorry! I will try to make it right, and no sir, I do not expect anyone to send me anything in return or as payment.

I forgive you fig, I think it was me also saying I was going to try that build using a power divider instead of needing the higher voltage regulator, I wasn't disappointed, the sweets bit was meant for a joke 😉

12 people better be posting pics of the cool stuff they get to the mailbox thread in the next few days.

They could of course build stuff and post some build reports, but sharing what’s in the mail is arguably even better 😂

will do! The project in question was my last post in "what's on the workbench". Thought I was gonna have a motherlode in the mail today, but it's some holiday only the USPS and government office employees take off, don't even get holiday pay at my work place 🤬
 
I may have to relocate the lab....

@fig i noticed those Panasonic polymer electrolytic caps are rated at 16v, but this electrovibe mini circuit calls for 25v or higher. You're not having any problems with those? Thanks!

Hey, good eye! Not a bit of trouble, though I can't in good conscience recommend such a practice.;)

I think the highest voltage in that circuit is 18vdc, and rule of thumb says either 1.5x or 2x voltage (depending on whose thumb you use), so a 25v rating would be a safe bet.
