If you are referring to the Jansjö, then it's quite popular on the forum - do a search to see some opinions.

I bought a few after seeing them on the forum, and they're pretty handy for spot illumination of your work. And in a pinch it also double as a microphone standard.

Are those Ikea "stick" lamps any good? Also what voltage to they run on?

I was in Ikea yesterday and couldn't decide if I should get a couple as work lamps.

There are USB and mains powered versions - the mains models use a 4V 3W adapter.

i just realized you are talking about the light on the side, yes it's the ikea. it has a USB connector and will run out of my laptop but it has its own USB AC as well.
It's not as bright as the one i have under the shelf, but it's very handy.


mine are those :

Used them for only one day, but i'm pretty impressed from them. very bright, and dim-able (warm light).

Nice one thanks for the info. I already use a Jansjö so was referring to the other as I need some more ambient light on the table.

I'd probably end up hospitalized from trying to climb over that mess.

@kakureru - Just how many digital cameras does one need...   

[kakureru]

Started out as 4 and ppl just kept giving them to me. Sometimes de-sanding a camera lens could be zen like.

Be nice!

At least it's dry and doesn't appear to contain any rapacious monsters, horned skull notwithstanding.

When I got started in this hobby 1.5 years ago, I made the decision to keep my workbench on the main level where space is limited and not down in the basement where space is not a problem.  This allows me to be near enough to my wife that we can converse while she does her thing and I do mine.  While she was okay with that idea, she didn't want a practical (i.e. big & ugly) workbench in our breakfast nook.  So I adapted a piece of furniture we already had but weren't really using.

Is the rubber mallet for those delicate tuning challenges?

Widlarizer lite?

LOVE the heathkit radio gear! I bought a 301 and a 401, station console, speakers, powersupplies, etc. with the intent of restoring and building a full heathkit station. Eventually realized that that is going to take a LOT longer than I had originally planned  so I got a nice little yaesu 857 to actually be 'on the air' and, well, I will continue to clean up the heathkits, and hopefully get them working sooner rather than later. I look forward to using that as my main station, and sticking the 857 in my car...

You don't need to hit thermionics hard to widlarize them!

The SB-301 develops power supply issues when they get as old as they are now.
I have an SB-301 that is going to be a future project, it will be my second. I built an SB-301 back in 1972. Beside the SB-401 there is a Heath SB-303 I picked up a few years ago off E-Bay. The SB-220 has been a project
http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?372651-SB-220-Find
I picked this up at the local Ham Radio Outlet. It had been modified, and it is now a part of a rehabilitation project, phase two of which will be happening soon.
The Johnson Matchbox came to me in a basket, One of the owners had repainted it and stopped work on the project, I scrounged up a few needed parts and put it back together.
The Kenwood R-599 receiver was DOA, along with the Kenwood TS-820 and the IFR FM/AM 1000S, all are functional now.
The two Heath SB-620s are waiting to be hooked up, one to the SB-303 the other to my SB-301 after it is restored. They are panoramic adapters. Of the radios the only ones bought new are the two Icom radios the IC-745 was purchased in 1986 and has several tens of thousands of hours on it. It was my main SWL and utility radio for decades. The Icom IC-756 was purchased in 1996, and was pressed into service while I was looking for a spare parts 745. The radio had developed a PLL synthesizer problem a filter used in the sub loop had gone bad and is a custom part and no longer available.

OMG that shelving. Pretty envious. Why do you have so many motherboards up top?

[JackP]

Maybe a computer repair shop?

[derec]

The main function of my workbench is for computer repair. I use the motherboards for parts
