And what did we buy today?

[soundbrigade]

A toroid transformer 2 x 13VAC for the Polivoks.

BGW 8000 Power Amp

old but working.....to use as a Sub Amp

Also non working Phonic 860 max PA Amp - mainly for Case - for a project

Actually 1 channel seems to work - anybody know anything about these things..?

Two sets of Vittoria latex inner tubes for the cross bike. A pair each for the road and off-road tires.

Here ya go George. Had to split it to fit the upload limit, hope this works for you. Just concatenate (join) the _1 and _2 files before unzipping.

10 projects from Rod Elliott (Elliott Sound Products - The Audio Pages (Main Index)) to keep me busy during the isolation.

A couple of 26LW6’s. Can you say thousand watt amplifier? I thought you could.

 

[Tubelab_com]

Can you say thousand watt amplifier?

I have said that before. Tubes, most of mine are 36LW6's they seem to be easier to find. Transformers, yeah I got a pair of BIG Plitrons rated for 400 watts @ 20Hz. They will do 500 watts at 40 Hz no problem. The power supply???? I want to be able to lift this thing, so another 50 pounds of iron is not on my plan, but most of my SMPS experiments prove that it's pretty easy to convert silicon into charcoal when you wire it directly to the line voltage.

 

[wg_ski]

I had more luck finding the 26 volt variety. A couple bucks more, but still way cheaper than 6550/KT88, and should handle the 900V B+. Output trafo is Antek 15T950, which gives 1k a-a with 4 ohm load. Basically running at half voltage, so may work well down to 25 Hz and handle 750 watts continuous. This won’t have to be hi-fi - it is for the subwoofers. The serious hi-fi amp you’ve already seen (the 6x6550).

 

[amplidude]

I bought 40 35v 22000uf capacitors, for a hiraga build, yes that's alot of uf.

 

[wg_ski]

But not a lot of voltage. You’ve also got a lot of soup cans back there that can hold a few joules....

 

[amplidude]

But lots of current, yes there are a few large capacitors, might come in handy some day.

 

[soundbrigade]

I finally managed to get to our TOOLS shop and buy some few drills (for synth panels) and a bunch of M4x10 screws and washers.

On Saturday I bought another camera at an auction. This one will be fun to work with (I hope).

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

 

[yngvejos]

Ordered a multi cutter today.

 

[AnalogJoe]

Just bought a locky_z's Intelligent Curve Tracer! still have to buy a PSU though.

 

[soundbrigade]

A telephone - Motorola E6s and a 4TB external HDD.

(Struggling to get all data from the old phone to the new one ....)

 

[jackinnj]

I bought an OBD "energy saver" -- so I can swap out the battery without losing the sat-radio settings/ fuel mix etc.

You, with your lab, bought one? AFAIK you can make one from a 9V battery and a lighter plug.

As for me, just a sequential turn signal box on Ali for the Vette.

Nice camera, I have an older Lordomat from East Germany that is nice to look at.

My dad is sending me a Nikon D5000 to play around with, should be here in a couple days.
He tried to sell it but was disappointed with the lowball offers, decided instead that I would be a better recipient.


I bought some Mogami cable, and some low end Nuetrik connectors to make a set of RCA cables to replace my older ones from radio shack.

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Picked up a couple of 6 TB drives (1 for data, 1 for backup) on sale at Newegg.

Each time I do this these days, I ask myself: Will this finally be the last storage upgrade you undertake in this life? I suppose someday the answer will be yes. Who knows, maybe this is the one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
