I use Jamos too, I replaced the capacitors with foil caps, but mine were way older (point to point)
Standard locking switch, has been a staple of avionics for decades, where you need a switch that is easy to change state, but accidental operation is hard, but you can still do it while feeling by touch and wearing gloves.
Thought I'd try some Pomona test leads. Already have a few Probe Master sets, so this should be an interesting comparison.

As far as I know, Pomona are the manufacturer for most Fluke probes. So if you have any newer original Fluke probes they should be identical.

I do but these don't look the same, and these are much cheaper than Fluke! Also, are any Fluke leads silicone?

Yes, the TwistGuard one. Equivalent to the top picture but the grey in yellow - TL175.
Also the TL221, TL222, TL224, TL71(second picture but Fluke branded) and TL76 have their leads in Silicone.

Yes, many of the new probes are now silicon.

Doesn't seem electronics related but I was getting burnt out from electronics work and hadn't had a bike for 10 years. This is helping me appreciate work again. Also bought a miter saw as I plan to re-organize my garage to make room for the bike. When I do that, I'll build cabinets around the saw and wanted to build around a good saw instead of the old cheap one that I wanted to replace some day. It comes with a "bright LED light for precision cut alignment".
A new USB microphone, UMIK-2 (32bit ADC)...

Baarrrrrrpppp!
And that goes for the drop saw too! Have fun.

I have a couple USB audio streaming boards from miniDSP (XMOS-based) which are pretty cool. They have a USB 2 (UAC 2) interface and expose up to 10 I2S interfaces.
Makes it great for making your own audio interfaces with your own front-ends and ADCs/DACs.
PriPrinterAs a long-time (very long) user of
Fineprint, PriPrinter has a few better options and a bit easier to work with.
For those not in the know, these are virtual printers (for Windows) which you would set as the default printer. They then intercept any printouts and let you view what might have been 200 blank pages before you commit them to actual paper. You can force duplex, multiple pages per paper page, vice versa (print posters using A4 sheets) save to PDF, edit, redact, letterheads, etc. Saves a ton of paper and ink.

Nice bike. I have the KTM 500 XCW version. Easily hits 90MPH and Torque is unstoppable.

Very nice bike. Dual purpose bikes are very fun.
What exactly is happening on the sticker on the side panel just below the seat?
I'd call it fair warning.

Great bikes. Whole nother level compared to my old DRZ 400. I couldn't believe how quickly it gets to that speed.

Specially now when the dirt is up in the hills and still covered in snow, it's nice to have pavement as an option.
Sticker came with the bike: 'Warning, this vehical makes frequent stops'.
Haven't had a dirt bike since riding MX in the 80's but I do still ride street bikes and have done since I was a teenager, a long time ago!
Mainly have classic bikes, including a Velocette and a Vincent Rapide, currently my most modern bike is a 2005 MV Agusta Brutale, my second ever only in line 4!!
Biking is therapy to mitigate against modern life and one of life's best forms of recreation.

It's a great contrast to my favorite winter sport, snowboarding. So nice to bike for hours after getting used to having to stop and sit on a chairlift every 20 minutes.
Didn't buy it today, but since we're all talkin' bikes 'n' stuff...
Yeah, it's nice to take a break from the o-scopes for a while.
It seems KTM/Husqy is the forums preferred brand
Had one Husky and one KTM in my life, a 1988 WR400 and a 1984 250MX. The KTM still had drum brakes! The WR was a forest rocket, I should never have sold it!
