Not paying attention

[Enzo]

So I did. I should have been paying attention.

Congratulations!

Too bad we missed the big 15000, maybe we can celebrate 15024 for your favourite transistor.

Another meaningless "universal/fit anywhere" typical SPAMBOT answer.
Second one today.
Are we in for a new SPAM/Virus attack?
Just wondering.
I would check his URL just in case.

Now add up all of the other sites Enzo so graciously applies his time & effort to.
Think he hit half a million?
Way to go, Enzo!

He wonders: "But can it bee the guitar???"
Only on the Post#36 he says he recently changed the OT.
And that itīs only "a little burnt", if he "plays carefully" (which he swears he does) "it holds fine".

Oh well.

I had some 13,000 posts over at Peavey forum a while back, then they replaced the forum software and all the counters started over. DAng, I was hoping to parlay that into a free hat or something from Hartley.



Speaking of not paying attention...

I have a little B&K 820 cap meter. Nice enough little thing, only measures value, no leakage or anything, but useful enough. It dies on me a while back, the display got real dim and it no longer measured. I checked the batteries - C-cells - and all checked over 1.5v. I have other test gear, so I put it aside, rainy day project to tear it apart and fix it.

I finally found the little manual for it, which includes the schematic. I always keep owner manuals, and there it was in the owner manual files... for my household goods. (refrigerator, garbage disposer, etc.) I dummied up a power adaptor for it, because the batteries won;t stay in it when it is spread apart. Oh. It works. Well, reassemble, and insert batteries. Verify the adaptor jack cutout is OK, and the battery voltage indeed gets through it. Only...

The batteries are old, they hold voltage fine until you stick any load on them, and they collapse. Fresh batteries and it was just fine. All it ever needed. The thing has sat in the corner, idle, for several years because I was too stupid to check the batteries UNDER LOAD. Geez.

The very nerve of unscrupulous vendors selling inferior quality fuses.
Rat bastards.
