100uf 6.3v x5
10uF 16v x2
47uF 16v x1
22uF 16v x1
All need to be low profile <8mm long. 10uF ones need to be <= 5mm diameter.
Check yours is the same though before hand as there are a few variants with different configurations.What about the little brown bastards hiding under the display?
This reminds me of someone, but quite who momentarily escapes me:
Note that the Electrophoresis type supplies are designed for biology lab use and have safety features including earth leakage detection on both positive and negative outputs that make them hard to use as regular power supplies.
Further to us discussing the other day whether you can leave feedback after a case is closed on eBay. I just had to force a refund out of a seller that sent 'not as described' crap (it was what they said, but was so borked as not to fit the description). They tried all the usual crap that it typical of some Chinese vendors - discount and keep ("no it isn't any use"), emails outside eBay "can't refund with case open" (screen shotted and added to case photos) and so on. So, they are definitely getting negative feedback. They finally caved and refunded - immediately after I copied their external emails outside eBay into the case, funny that.
Anyway, refund has been paid, and this is what it looks like at the moment pre-feedback:
I wonder if people who thought that they couldn't leave feedback simply missed the entry because it had moved to "Returns and Cancelled Orders" or some other sub-category other than the headline "Orders" list. Negative feedback now successfully left.
No; this isn't what I was talking about. I've had a few such clusterfucks where once the refund was done, the transaction was removed from my purchase history as if it had never happened; I could only bring it up by ticking the "Show Hidden Items" box, and even then, there were no actions available to me.
No idea why, how, or if it is something that has changed in over a year since my last really shitty fleaBay transaction.

I suspect that may be the exact use case for which Tek designed the big one in this set I got from Neomys Sapiens; it's 300mm long.

I have 30cm and I know how to handle it.
Oh man. I wish I had that set. I used an insulated Wera screwdriver to help me manipulate it from a safe distance. If I had had a large noninductive tool it probably would have made the adjustments a lot easier to see too.Ayup.
Next time let me know. I don't mind loaning by mail on these; at least in the Americas postage shouldn't be too painful.
Of course, this is also the type of tool that just screams "Print me!"

This seems a prime candidate for 3DP.Hmm, probably not. With most 3DP materials I suspect that would come out like a wet noodle.
More a case of "Slap a bit of Delrin in the lathe". Oh..., no lathe.
Grease/Vaseline ?
A vac is what I was going to suggest, and you can make a custom nozzle with card to get it small and high flow very close to your drill site.
I'd advise against vaseline for anything other than really low speed stuff as it's likely to melt and provide zero help. General purpose lithium grease is ok for low speed stuff, but high speed it'll throw swarf off with the centripetal forces.
EDIT: You can use a neodiddelyum magnet on ferrous stuff, but rivets are usually aluminium in my experience.
I'd opt for one of those little hand jeweller's type drills that you scoot up and down. Mine's buried so I have to resort to an 'Internet pic':
This is a cool looking mini scope: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264005789638
Well that was most disappointing. I blew up all of the capacitors and was greeted maximally with a “pfft” and that was it. No booms.
I am sure I could make these caps blow at 1000 DC once my Keithley 236 arrives and gets upgraded to 237.
This is a cool looking mini scope: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264005789638It's a bit "Star Trek, during the movies but before TNG" looking. Not sure if I like it or loathe it.
As to whether it looks useful or not, I've got to give that a big thumbs up. If it was in the UK at that price I'd be seriously considering dropping the money on it.
Seriously... this tool is a prime candidate for 3DP, which is why I said so in my original post (that part somehow got sucked into eevBlog's resident black hole).
The ORIGINAL tool from Tek is a bit of a limp noodle; but really, who cares? It's just going to turn a trimcap or trimpot.
This tool could EASILY be printed in two parts; the shaft in natural/translucent PLA or ABS to ensure not full of conductive dyes/pigments, and the handle in any color you like.
In most cases could probably make the tip printed as well; would just need to break the trimmer loose with a regular driver first. Or just make a slotted socket in the end and fab the tip out of a small bit of sheet steel like the Tek-branded tool.

At first I thought it was some electronic version of the old "Battleship" game.
Otherwise... 8-bit res, 100MS/s and 8K/Ch depth... Ehhhh... Definitely novel, but I still think I'd rather have the 54645A that will... someday... be on its way to me from Alltest.

In the words of mnem, "tzzzzzt": https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Consort-Bioblock-Scientific-Microcomputer-Electrophories-Power-Supply/293670154493Those can run to 100s of watts, so very "tzzzzzzzt".

I was taking a opportunity to, again, bemoan my lack of a lathe (or anywhere to put it).
But seriously, this is where the hipster urge to 3D print everything is, well let's be generous, the triumph of enthusiasm over good sense.
It's a shaft. Every material known to man can be bought in rods. Pick a suitable size, stick it in a file handle, file a suitable point on it. Job done. Correct material used, total tooling required one or two files, time spent modelling and waiting for print to finish zero.
Really... if you HAVE 3DP... you start to see uses for it EVERYWHERE; mostly in the form of niggly things you can easily fix; or bespoke tools you can make but would never be arsed to otherwise.

That'll be the 2kg battery powered 54645A will it? That's kinda the point of the Hitachi I think ...
Now, can I make him waste even more time failing to prove a point?Really... if you HAVE 3DP... you start to see uses for it EVERYWHERE; mostly in the form of niggly things you can easily fix; or bespoke tools you can make but would never be arsed to otherwise.
If all you have is a hammer...
... you have destroy something to undo a screw.
I can kind of forgive the hipsters because they don't know how to fabbricobble anything without using a 3D printer. But when someone with rather more experience starts advocating 3DP for a job that can be done more simply, and better, with a better fitted material choice (becuase you're not limited like you are in 3DP) by simple assembly of stock parts and a little filing then I'm forced to conclude that it's just because they want to play with their 3d printer rather than an informed design decision.
Your 22 minute total design time is almost certainly longer than my time to complete the whole job start to finish. Grab stock, saw, file, spare file handle - cut stock to length, whack in handle, file ~ 15 minutes tops.
What do you mean you don't have spare rod stock in a range of materials and sizes, or spare file handles? That's unnatural that is.
Come on C... this is ME you're talking to. The fucking TOOL-DWAGON. Making stuff with my hands is literally my LIFE.
On 3DP, most of the time when I think “hey I could 3d print something to solve that problem”, I end up with two problems. Avoiding having to solve the first problem is utterly the most powerful if unconventional tool.
Thus I haven’t printed anything for about two months. I’m not even sure the printer will be staying around.
Come on C... this is ME you're talking to. The fucking TOOL-DWAGON. Making stuff with my hands is literally my LIFE.
I'm just saying that this isn't a job for for which 3DP is the best choice. I think made my case succinctly and I think convincingly - I certainly didn't think I'd be required to provide a full time and motion study, complete with cost of acquisition of materials study. What's next the fucking Spanish inquisition? You can choose to disagree or agree.
