I switched to Dewalt and also still use some Milwaukee tools. The put the Bosch through its paces, it finished like a champ.
The oddish coloured one is over hyped (and priced) imho.
I ordered a new phone from China, and I was hoping it will get here fast.
Then I got this email which I responded to, and... well, am I being crazy?
Here's the correspondence without the name of the company:
I have paid for the thing, and I really like that brand, but I do perhaps get slightly triggered when there are completely pointless procedures that some pencil pusher has enforced, What if I was a person that never check my email? Then I would never get the items I ordered.

Got me a 200ml syringe, a bit of a plastic hose, a 2L milk carton and Honda power steering fluid.... and I flushed the power steering system myself, in full. Looked complicated, but it took around 20min. I begged ( quite a few...) car mechanics to look at the noisy power steering that was driving me nuts... but they all want to charge the full amount for service, and are too lazy and ignorant to flush the power steering system themselves. They keep saying: we couldn't find any problem. Basically, all they do under the scheduled service is suck out (pump out) the engine oil... and put the new one in.... I do not believe they even changed the oil filter...
What a bunch of criminals. In the end, I had to do it myself.
I also got the ramps to drive the front up, so that I can do an oil&filter change myself in the future... I'll check and confirm if they replaced the filter. Judging by the colour of the new oil... I am positive they left a fair amount of old oil there as well...

I feel your pain. Once they got your money and anything goes wrong, its insult to injury when you must deal with a dam voice recording. All while your anxious to receive your goods already, by yesterday.

The last piece just got made out of stock at this shop. That's what happens when they run a special on something that was $200 more a week ago 😀
Finally, after so many years of wanting one 😀 😀 😀 Will go awesome with my MX-1

I finally got the box, after re ordering. It took a week and a day after all.
The Titanic 10" sub's rear assembly is so chunky that I had to shave almost 1/4" off so it fit.
In a pinch some of the commercial boxes are made way way better then they used to be, 1" baffle, better joinery and the mdf board is stronger, if your in a pinch and cant make one. The spring connectors are complete junk though.

I watched my taxi industry die a fast death when we got ubbered 6yrs ago. It took three years to die a complete death. Then it was settling into a new state and then down with injury for 1yr 3 months and all the while yearning for the MX-1 and JD Xi. With renovations happening now that bandages have come off, it's a great time to get the studio desk rebuilt with all the cords and such tidied up, and I have been a bit indulgent with meagre income and making use of things like PayPal pay in 4 as well as Zip to stock up on some awesome digital equipment to make reggae dubs and covers of old gold Bollywood
My DJ equipment had to be left overseas in storage. I still yearn for a controller. Is that being too indulgent 😀

My first ever TT was a Dual. I bought it new in Leeds back in the 80’s. It lacked bass, but was very reliable.
I never bought a new TT since the. I got back to vinyl a few years ago with my current TT, a Pioneer PL-2 that I found on ePay with an unknown cartridge. It has a couple of cosmetic scuff marks but otherwise looks good, but it groans every time I use it and now the sound fades in and out which is very irritating. It can be fixed and one day I’ll get around to it so I can give it to one of my kids but I’m after my 2nd ever TT with a warranty in order to avoid the messing around. I like the semi-automatic behaviour of my Pioneer so I want any new TT to have auto-stop and lift at end of play. I thought about the Rega Planar 3 but it’s very manual and I can’t be fussed moving a belt to change speed.
So I plumbed for a Dual TT again. I believe I’m trading off some convenience for performance but that’s OK with me.

If you don't mind, may I ask why you bought it? Have a plan to make an audio interface?
Bigger fan and SSD for my PC.
CPU was cooking. When I got old fan out it was completely clogged so no wonder cpu was struggling.
Cool running now.

Today, a 16x16 (LEDs and cm) panel of intelligent RGB LEDs; I'd like to hook it up to an ESP8266 and package it to resemble an interocitor from the sci-fi classic "This Island Earth" and either use it for intergalactic communications or displaying alerts of some sort. Also, a "tactical" shoulder bag big enough for a 10" tablet, velcro flag patches since the bag has place for them, a 30 cm plush shark, and a strap for a Garmin Forerunner GPS watch, all from Aliexpress.
I bought a "Acoustic Guitar Resonant Pickups Delay Reverberation BT Mic Preamp Piezo Pickup" Has everything but the kitchen sink...
The actual reason I wanted it is because it includes an amplifier that drives an exciter, which is mounted onto the guitar body, DIY.
Yamaha has a complete system which I tried at GC and it's kinda neat, as audio gimmicks go; makes the whole guitar radiate the ambience. A 1k$ gimmick; I'll try the one for $50 and mount it in a disposable guitar I already have, that I dont mind drilling holes into.
Maybe it works, maybe not - they claim to at least have EQ'd the signal to the exciter to minimize feedback: shows the plot too, which indicates someone thought about it. If good, I'll put it in one of my better instruments; maybe hot rod it with a 25W Dayton exciter too.
Not that it'll output 25W from a single 18650 cell.

Bosch dishwasher. Well, actually paid for it a couple weeks ago, but it arrived yesterday and I picked it up today. Tomorrow is the pull out the old one and install the Bosch day.
I found an old Phillips curve tracer.. the pm6507, I have a peak atlas for the small signal, this will be a nice addition.
It can deliver 3kv for diode breakdown, so must watch out. 10 volt collector can reach 20 amp.
It comes with four different transistor fixtures.

A boatload o' vinyl at a local record store during Record Store Day. Not an hour later I happened upon a Micro Seiki DQ-43 for sale at a decent price.
I need another TT like I need a hole in my head. But it needed me - what can I say?

This week was a used stream deck for $100 and a 30" monitor. The monitor was the type of stuff I usually pass on, old LCD plus missing stand, but 2560x1600 for $40 seemed worth it. With a hastily made stand made out of those ubiquitous grey steel shelving brackets it's up and running.
Stromberg Carlson Integrity Series Component Ensemble Model: SP-911 M T
Made in 1961
Turntable: Garrard RC-88, (with stereo pickup)
Amplifier: ASR-433, (12 Watts x2 @20-20000Hz @ <1.5%THD)
Tuner: SR-445 AM+FM dual tuner.
Speakers: RS-404 acoustic labyrinth (12” 2-way, 2 pcs.)
The speakers in these consoles are fully separate enclosures, mounted by soft clamps into the console woodwork. Really nice system.
This single speaker also was had. It was in the garage and could be switched on and powered by the Console via a switch seen above the amplifier. Both channels fed it, each through a 15 Ohm 5 Watt resistor. - so mono for the garage. Home-built and very solid. It looks AND smells old, Gotta love that. Maybe a 50s-70s electronics hobby magazine project, but the drivers appear in excellent shape. Easy to see them with the ruined grille cloth removed. For scale it's a 10" woofer. Unkown brand. Who has the pattern of vents in the center like that? I'm sure I don't know.
Can't wait to check the amp and tuner in that Stromberg Carlson, no doubt they will need capacitors at the very least. Have not tested the speaker yet.
