Metallic, I think.
It's the new stuff in the Store. Jason had advertised it last week, then had to take it down, and now it's available.
I'm tingling in anticipation.

Get it - new stuff.
I've found ONE place in Sweden where I can buy Sn/Pb-solder. Else it's out of reach to amateurs.

Uh oh, that's not good to hear. I hope he and his family are ok, regardless of his standing as my go-to tube guy (and all around good fellow).
Netcomm NF18ACV modem to connect to the National Broadband Network at my new house. I'll be getting an unlimited account. Oh, the luxury!
Scored a old Pioneer DV-578A player for free, which is actually on my list of "audio" players to buy.
Found an old thread on the tricks related to these players, but it only plays about half of the SACD's or DVD-A's I try in it. I don't know if it's a quality issue, led a rough life, or just needs a cleaning. If a lens cleaning doesn't do it, off to the basement it goes.

Faulty JVC RX-7012VSL 5.1 surround amplifier. AU$55.00 shipped from Adelaide. One channel shorted, easy fix. Couple of transistors at worst.
I'm also bidding on an Onkyo TX-SR805 which is a beautiful behemoth of a surround receiver. Should get that in a couple of days for about the same price. Pops at turn-on, shouldn't be very difficult.
I'm not usually such a spendthrift but it seems wise to take advantage of the cheaper postage to my current city location to stockpile stuff I'll need for the new house. At least that's how I'm justifying it to myself. 🙂

Looks like PTFE?
Ordered some pills today, two pink ones (B12 and INSPRA) and two white ones (Bisoprolol and Losartan)
Got the potentiometers and switches for the Polivoks and tried to order knobs BUT there were only four large knobs (need 5) and I notice the the switches don't have "splined" axles.
Ooops, almost forgot. Ordered the Elektor JOy-IT 3-in-1, oscilloscope/DMM/signal generator. It looked smalla nd handy and I needed a (small) O-scope.

An AC/DC current probe for a scope. Only 100 KHz bandwidth, but it will do for many things.

Try it with dark chocolate ....
A little (much) OT. I have had two heart arrests and after the second, which was a grave one, I got a pacemaker and the three heart medicines.
After a year or so, when I and my heart was back to normal (at least 90%) I wondered if I could get rid of the drugs, but NO. The pacemaker did record some irregularities every now and then. But on the other hand those glitches maybe did occur among healthy people ... but how could we tell? They didn't carry a pacemaker that recorder everything.
A 500Gb SSD drive for my laptop.
The 2Tb drive has started to make a horrendous screeching noise. It's only 4 years old !!
Everything has been backed up to a 64Gb stick.

I bought a 10kg (22lb) bag of MegaCrop. It will be used as a general purpose fertilizer for all my veggies and herbs (yes, Cannabis as well).
SSD is going to blow your mind, Andy!
