IIRC used in Datron 10x1 meters, and probably elsewhere.

Not sure if failure mode is aging while energised, or simply aging.

I am ashamed.  ;D

But I'm working through it, if only people would stop listing tasty gear on Yahoo Auctions....



[EDIT] Oooh, I just noticed an empty spot at the top of the cupboard.... I'll have to deal with that...  :-DD

In Japan space is always at a premium, right?

In Tokyo, yep. Where I used to live there was absolutely no garden, no space on the block. Some houses on the street have no place to even park a car (you'd have to rent a car park from someone with a vacant block down the street) and have the front door open directly onto the street, the door jamb is literally right up against the gutter on the side of the street. It's not uncommon here...

My house is further out in Chiba though, it means I have to drive an hour and a half to work each day (I work practically dead center of Tokyo, a short walk from Tokyo Station) but it means I have a reasonable sized house with an actual yard and somewhere to park my car.

OK, but given Japan's excellent rail system why don't you utilize that to get to work?

Or is it you don't like being packed in like a sardine?  :-DD

I used to take the train, but I don't fancy marinating in coronavirus... :-DD

Plus, I get to and from work on my schedule, it takes the same amount of time anyway, works out cheaper (I drive a hybrid) and I don't have to be near other people.

Also, did I mention that I don't have to be near other people? :-DD

My grandmomma took that to a bit more extreme measures:

"Iff'n you kin see yer neighbors from your front yard, they're too damned close."
