Me, too. Even the old 'planes had some kind of electronics in them, so it counts in my book. We waver off topic from time to time. As long as it doesn't derail the thread (i.e., doesn't go on and on and on), I don't have an issue with it. Of course, since I like pics of planes and Spec takes great ones, I'm a bit biased.

SWMBO was not amused when I showed her a concrete web site One must be "Keeping Up Appearances" with the traditional English garden. [emoji14] What is this garr-duh-ninng of which you speak? I was raised on a farm; we didn't even mow the front yard until the grass was tall enough to tedd it and bale it up. My "lawn mower" was a Case 380 diesel tractor (David Brown 885 for you biscuits & tea folk) and an 8-foot Bush Hog. The notion of cultivating plants for fun is as alien to me as supply-side economics. [emoji14]I tend to stick to this ethic even as I've moved to the suburbs; well, right up to the point at which the Home-pwners Ass-holciation sends someone to complain. Then a proud demonstration of power sharpening, chopping and digging tools presented with a couple "Long-Island Iced Teas" makes short work of said complaints until I get around to hacking the verge down again. mnemIt takes considerable skill to make showing off a pressure washer feel menacing; one I've polished over many years.

Haha, my pressure washer is buried somewhere in the garage, can't remember the last time I used it even. Ought to get it out and use it to wash car with, much cheaper then local car wash @£11 a pop[emoji3]From mobile device so predictive text might have struck again [emoji83]

Quote from: Mr. Scram on May 19, 2018, 02:36:50 am I just found footage of Specmaster's DMM being processed. I think my recently arrived 8" plasma ball has been there too Wonder what purpose the high voltage end of it could be used for
I feel for you having conform to convention, I'm sitting here in glorious sunshine chomping on sandwich watching planes come and go and not a lawn mower in sight 🤣🤣
To be fair that one has been annoying me as well. I shall do this in future. Back on TEA. I find it terribly annoying when you win an auction, drop the seller a message and then bugger all happens for ages
It was the inevitable "when can I give you money and take this crap away, preferably this evening" email. Here's what I got. Multiplier is toast on the second one but there's the horizontal calibration fixture in there which is rare as hen's teeth. I know someone who I can pry a vertical one off (and possibly another mainframe) Same tube as the Tek 7603 but rest is lower spec 50MHz mainframes. They do have some interesting features and are much sharper than the 7603s are. Also no custom ICs at all.Horizontal has sweep out on the front which is going in the front of my SA VCO.
