And what did we buy today?

Sunglasses.

I'm optimistic.

Wallet squeaked open for a set of snap ring pliers, "real" ones that don't have removeable jaws of different sizes, although still cheap mild steel.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Must be nice to have so much money you can afford such a luxury there Big T.

 

[leadbelly]

Haha. But I was fed up with those, let's call them even-cheaper-than-mine. With those, even if you manage to find both the handle and jaws you need, it'll be some devilish snap ring that pulls the jaws off with a hard enough squeeze.

My advice? Listen to those who corroborate. The rest are idiots.

Digikey order, $150 ouch!

Big damage due to some OPA2134 chips, then a couple power supplies for the Pass x-over kits from the store. Bought those earlier and hope to see them any day now.

Wow, emotional support for tool purchases. I am in the right place.

HP AC voltmeter

Finally bought a HP AC voltmeter for amplifier output, noise and hum measurements. Let’s hope it works!

Hi Gerrit,
Great purchase. It will last as well as being very accurate.

I bought a Barlow lens for my oscillo ... telescope to marry it with my Canon EOS M3. I had made earlier a simple fix but this one allows me to zoom in on the edge of the expanding Universe as well as my neighbor getting a topless tan in the backyard.

Digikey order, $150 ouch!

$150 from Digikey was “ouch”? Mine yesterday was just north of $350. The lion’s share from the 100 uF 200v small form factor electro’s and the board-to-board Molex connector sets.

the 40lbs of transformers arrived today from PartsConnection for my upcoming build of a SE KT88. Mr Hammond makes very nice, heavy, yet expensive stuff. Should be a fun project.

Well worth the outlay ....

I didn't buy anything with it yet, but I got over $1000 in Amazon gift cards from my employer. I am about to retire and had to do something with the award points I have been collecting for years or I would lose them.
