What's on the workbench?

So I'm guessing their prerequisite work is going to make DHL happy enough to ship to the US? Sorry, things keep changing so quickly I don't even know what's going on. Last I heard DHL isn't doing import shipments, but if they are, that's something.

I think you guys are looking for this thread.
Where's the F'n mod around here?

That's what I thought too. Maybe DHL is OK with doing DDP shipments, and not the kind where they get to charge the recipient the tariffs plus the broker's fee. I'm definitely going to defer any overseas ordering, because, who knows.

I believe DHL's Express Service *is* doing imports w/ tariffs, while standard DHL is presently pausing shipments into the US because of the orange guy's new tariffs on de minimus shipments.

It's kinda annoying when it comes to tracing because the end I need to measure is always the (inaccessible) one on the bottom...

I can’t believe nobody mentioned “probing the bottom”..

I was looking at a box of those 1S15xx diodes a while back. The QoS was insanely good, but then again having 5k diodes sitting around for only myself was also insane.

Your bench is always so dang clean, too, Robert. Such a good bench. Wonderful bench. Looking forward to seeing more of bench. Robert's bench. Not my bench. Robert's.

I have come to SWEAR by 1S1588 diodes in any circuit that typically uses 1N914/4148s for clipping. I'm currently using them in my DS-1 builds, and going to put them in my Shredmaster clone, whenever that gets built. They have a little higher headroom and just clip a little.......sweeter/musical....for lack of a better word. They definitely increase the volume level on my DS-1, and hoping to do the same on the Shredmaster. I bought a small cache of them to have on hand.

I actually did type "probe" first but remembered where I am...

2500 Tube Screamers... it makes more sense when you think about it logically.

That’s a lot of bees.
