Hey all,
I was at the last lunch, it was nice meeting all of those who where there. I'm looking forward to the next meet. I am really new at the dyi side, but i can't wait to drive in head first.

Does anyone have a measurement rig? I would like to take some in-box measurements but I don't have a rig.
Wise to dip toe before jumping into shallow end of pool.
Will be there on the 26th of January.
If there is enough interest we will book the place for the Saturday to. But we need some people interested in having their stuff measured to make it worth while.
Remember it is not free!
Not really expensive but not free either.
If I remember correctly is is $7.00 / hr
24 hrs * 7 = $168
We have to be able to cover this amount.

Mark, you'll be where on the 26th of January? Is the Winter Meet not proposed for the 23rd? I'm assuming the hall rental cost is what you are referring to when you say $7/hour?
Oh boy i have messed up the date!
Yes the 23rd is the right date.
The $7/hr is the hall rental.
I'm free. Well inexpensive. I need food and water...... maybe a beer once in a while some scotch.
Only good scotch may apply.

So Jan. 23rd is confirmed then?
Maybe we should start a list in the meet thread to get a handle on who is going to show and what they are bringing. If an official organizer type person has already "volunteered" for this event then he can do it or if toes will not be stepped on, I can do it.

I didn't know you volunteered!
Muhahahhaha
If you want to get things done right...

Alrighty then Mark. Yes it is Rick.
For those that can confirm they will be at the Ottawa Winter DIY Meet please go to the similarly named thread and post:
a. That you will be there and can afford 10 bucks to cover the cost of the hall.
b. What you will bring to demo.*
c. If you would like measurements done.
and d. If you are available Saturday as well do get the measurements done.
If someone can send me the exact address of the hall and a start time, I'll get this info in there as well.
As posts come in I will update the list and repost it frequently for all to see.
* It is not necessary to have something to demo. As long as you share a passion for DIY audio you're welcome.
Anything else I should add to the post? I may not get this done until this evening so there is time for suggestions.

Rick,
Link to the thread?
I have a 90% chance of being there. I will know for sure this week and I think $10.00 is a reasonable cost.

For Ottawa folks looking for a used scope, there is a Tektronix 2465B being auctioned by Crown Assets. Look here:
Distribution des biens de la couronne - TPSGC | Crown Assets Distribution - PWGSC
Select English, What's for sale, Electronic & al.
From time to time there are interesting goodies there...
Cheers - Pierre

Wow... I'm speechless. That has to be one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen.
I'm not sure which is more disturbing:
1. That someone would pay $54,000 for that train-wreck.
2. That for some reason, the Canadian Government owned a 1987 Lamborghini Countach.
I grew up with that being my all time favorite car... I had a poster and a little model of it. I can honestly say though, that if someone offered to give it to me for free, I'd say no. It looks like a genuine disaster; the kind of car that would ruin your life.
Thanks for the link Rick, it made my night!
Cheers,
Owen

Cool Car
I remember those.
But talking about a mechanics car. As in mechanics like you very much car.
I'm guessing that this is the result of some seizure of property?

And it was a great one too, Leon. Lot's of participation, lot's of great gear, measurements taken, 5 kinds of subs, tube stuff etc. There will be much said I'm sure in the "Winter Ottawa DIY Meet" thread. I'll have a bunch of pictures up when I sort throught and post them.
