I just saw that I have 723 thanked posts, which reminded me of

(Attachment Link)

This made me notice that I have only 16 723's in stock, of which a mere 5 are milspec. I must take corrective action on the latter figure.

May I suggest restocking with some genuine Tesla MAA723’s for some variation: https://www.ebay.de/itm/283435987337

Thanks, ordered 25 of them.  :-+

And in December, reichelt  will have a 10-pol precision IC socket:

The link to the YT video from ZZ Top - Sharp dressed man, which I've combined with the picture of a sharp dressed TEA fellow. :)

It actually was nearly a thing  :o https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/test-equipment-anonymous-(tea)-group-therapy-thread/msg2077828/#msg2077828

Knock, Knock, Knock. Anyone home?

2+ sigma statistical aberration. No posts in 24 hours, nearly on the second page of Test Equipment. Clearly TEA has been taken out by the Red Bus on Sunday  ;D

I ordered one of these flashlights from BangemGood https://www.banggood.com/XANES-XHP50-1800lm-Powerful-Long-Range-Zoomable-Flashlight-Kit-with-18650-Li-ion-Battery-USB-Rechargeable-and-Power-Display-Mini-Torch-Focus-Adjustable-Tactical-Light-p-1749466.html?cur_warehouse=CN on the 22nd July. They processed, packed and shipped it within 2 hours from their China warehouse and this morning it arrived at my very local delivery office, I'm very impressed with that kind of speed, its travelled thousands of miles in the same time it often takes for stuff ordered from within the UK. Now the postman has not yet been, will he come today and more important if he does, will he have this flashlight with him (actually I say him, it might be the rather cute postlady that comes sometimes), or will it lounge at the delivery office for a few days?
