    Phase Linear 700 (Near Disaster Averted)

    I just ran into that with a Pl400 that has Honeywell meters and the rectifier mounted to the chassis. 2 transistors had holes that were misaligned as you showed. The other thing was that the nylon washer that gets inserted would pass without issue through chassis holes but would not fit in a...

    Got tired of Mouser slow shipping-

    I don't know what the deal is with with mouser and the UPS/USPS interaction, I think that is the main issue. I've followed the tracking and it reads that UPS has it for a couple days then they give it to USPS and for some reason that takes a couple more days. Either way I think they take their...

    I really like the Acoustats for what they do but they definitely lack the bass that I desire. I have always been curious about these speakers and what they sound like. Let us know what you find!

    Got tired of Mouser slow shipping-

    I live in DFW... I can pick up will-call after a 45 min drive (no traffic) or I can wait at least a week for a Mouser order to come by any of their non rushed shipping options. Digikey is always 2-3 days, funny how that is when they are in Mn

    Smoked lens PL 400 LED upgrade question.

    I have had the same experience, I think in a dark room it may be ok. However, with any light on the amp it was tough to tell it was lit. Edit: With a Black face it looks pretty good

    Dark tinted Honeywell meters

    I have a friend with the dark lenses and the blue as you said was too dim, the bright white is better but hard to see in a well lit room.

    I tried it, it has enough ferrous material to be weakly picked up from a table with a neodymium magnet but no chance from the carpet.

    socket cup for back plane PCB

    Are the socket cups that need to be installed to the back plane boards available at mouser? I thought it would be a good idea to assemble the back plane boards in the living room last night. Well I dropped one of these tiny socket cups into a shag carpet rug and have officially given up the...

    Anybody here collect US Army WWII and Korean conflict medals?

    Wonder what the metal is or specifically how much gold. I have heard that people would clean up on the old trench coats... apparently the buttons they used had a fair amount of gold and people would buy the coats in bulk then sell the buttons for the gold. My grandfather was a tank commander...
