Like so many on here, if we were close geographically, we would be hangin’ out. I am dead set serious I’m going to Oz to meet Red and Kat.
Everyone should be hunkering down. Even the Queen.
Public service announcement: I know two people with Covid19. A mother and child from our church. The mother has asthma but is doing OK. Not enough symptoms to be admitted and tested, but the ER doc said he was sure both had it. The little girl basically feels like she has a cold with 101 fever and is doing well. Mom caught it from a co-worker she sits right nest to who was sick and just traveled abroad.
The kicker: It could have been prevented. The co-worker didn't want to go to the Dr because she knew she would be placed on quarantine.
"I only think about me" syndrome. Now at least two others are needlessly sick and are quarantined and one missing work and likely infected others. Not only selfish but stupid. Be careful or you won't be able to play your Thunderbird.

They have to had junked them. Where I live they wouldn’t work.

It is the same mentality that leads to driving under the influence.
Paired with your artisanal VCR (video cassette recorder; kind of an old school PVR) or your Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) it works perfectly well for watching a movie or playing an 8 bit game.
Ugh. What year? I know they had QC issues for a while(my Pro V backed that up).
Sorry, sir. This is where dowels and a drill press come in handy!
I cut my gEEk teeth on hand-wired stuff like that, except mostly tube gear. Love it.

The person knew they had it or were at least exhibiting symptoms? I understand being worried about being put into quarantine, but how are you going to feel if that selfishness ultimately ends in the loss of another persons life?
I used to sell those, or darn close to it.
Safety first. [I just made that up]
Didja mean this?
or this:
ETA: the "all-in-one" at the right end is hooked into the consoles speakers. Sounds pretty good for being ~40 y/o.

So did I, this is more delicate though. Tubes are rugged and can in most cases be removed. Ge transistor junctions will melt at very low solder temps, they have to be heatsunk (with clamps) during ass’y, replacement etc... due to generally lower circuit Zs construction is tighter as well...
That’s infuriating. There’s a good chance you’d I’d lose my job if I did that. And rightfully so.Public service announcement: I know two people with Covid19. A mother and child from our church.

But fear clouds thinking. Ugh.
I think that's what I had for a tuner. And I learned tunes from it on my THUNDERBIRD too.
i know. Hence “mainly”. I destroyed a few transistors figuring things out.
My favorite transistor gear used sockets, but that was all too rare.
Prolly don't give a

Traynor YBA200 required 2 x 6550s and some grid resistors. Will be getting it back at some point in the next couple of days.
