Wonderful thread, but guys, do you realize that many of you are giving away their GPS position when they post pictures with original Exif data?

I posted a picture in another thread recently that originally had location info, but when I download it from the forum the location information is no longer there. It seems that the forum software stripped that information.
Not that I care, anyone with half a brain can find out my address.
Thinking of buying the same keyboard. How well does the solar stuff work with this logitech?
Thanks guys. Many years of junk collecting. Finding old gear and repairing it is fun. Finding places to put it is always a challenge though.

I see some old EICO's and Heathkit's as well as appears to be some RCA VTVM's.
My work bench is always a project in progress itself...

That is correct. I restored all of those Eico units. Since I work on a lot of vintage gear I want one bench dedicated for period correct gear. It is fun working on a piece from the 60's with the same gear that was available from that time period. It is almost like having a time machine
Thanks

I spot a Heathkit IP-2718 Triple Power Supply
I've got one of those. Still works after 40 years.
My other Heathkits have all died due to crappy components that keep failing.
Definitely! But sometimes there's vintage equipment that shouldn't be restored. Case in point. This used to be an EICO 1060 6/12 volt Battery Eliminator / Charger. Powerstat transformer secondary plus 2 HUGE selenium rectifiers. Lewd, crude, and totally unsuitable for any serious work. And I'm sure you're aware selenium rectifiers have a fixed lifespan and will release toxic magic smoke. So this one was totally gutted and rebuilt as a variable 10 amp supply utilizing a LM396K regulator.
Here is my new electronics workbench.The table and the rack design has been done without using the wall support
By the way, what do you guys use for parts storage?
Nice Bench!
