And what did we buy today?

[TheGimp]

soundbrigade, I still have my fathers Zeis Ikon Contax X 1379 from who knows when (Post WWII), and my Minolta SRT 101 from 1973. I doubt I will ever do anything with them. Many fond memories developing B&W film with them.

The Pocket Reference. Adama SAvage from Mythbusters often talked about this gem, so I simply had to get one myself.

Else I ordered a bunch of knobs for a friend. His eyes are not as good and sharp so he wanted BIG knobs. Found them at Das Musikding in Germany.

I'm not sure there is an audiophile who doesn't want bigger knobs.

Not buying much these days, trying to complete the projects I ordered parts for months ago on Ali and finally arrived

Still, a cheap cupholder for the Vette as my DIY GPS stand covers the stock cupholder (which was inadequate anyway, were cups that different in the 90's?).
A few SMALL 194 LED bulbs, turns out most 194 LED bulbs are physically larger that the incandescent envelope spec, and I need one to fit against a lens in the Vette.

Whats that? a book?

It contains all kinds of technical info and formulas (I think), enough to blow crash car dummies to millions of pieces.

A new we hard drive for my daughters laptop, and a bag of ferrite cylinders.

It was yesterday, but a bunch of parts some for the BA3 that I still haven't built, and the rest for a mic line driver I'm working on (phantom power for eletret mics)

Also a matched pair of primo EM258 mic capsules.

Tony.

Well, another Samsung HD841 came up on the classifieds for $25, couldn't help myself. So now I have 2 of the SACD-R and DVDA-R capable buggers, AND the freely available service manual. The soldering iron is cleared for action.

NOS Siemens PP capacitors for RIAA use from Greece, selected for better than 1% tolerance.
Also, more NOS Siemens PP capacitors from the USA, selected for better than 0.3% tolerance.
These were off the shelf in the 70s, but are now hard to get.

Schaefer snorkel pen repair kit

An international effort: Using repair kit from UK (ink sac, seals, silicone grease, shellac) to fix a pen made in Australia, sold in the UK to my mum in 1959, and repaired in Canada requiring some really fiddly work, then inked up with some ink imported from Japan. Probably first time it’s been used in 50 years.

 

[AnalogJoe]

Nicely done Bigun!

Every several years I buy twice as larger storage HDD. It is similar to Moore's law.

Just bought a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Gen 3, I paid $148 including shipping, this thing is a bargain!

Found nice fishing lamp when I making bulb tester.

I got a couple Daisy Seeds in the mail today, ordered last week. These go in a PC board or prototyping board, not the ground, you feed them voltage and MIDI data, not water and sunlight. Once mature, they make sound and maybe music, not flowers.
