Apparently called a stud mount, but it would that that's correct

That'll need fixed before I close it up

21 screws by the way, to get in to this thing

Only 35 volts so probably just a little tingle

So the inside is the battery eliminator

Just a pair of transformers and a switch

The person who replaced that call used a pair of 3300uf in place so I think I'm just going to change them out to a pair of 2200uf

Yeah I think the person who replaced it wanted to restuff the can but then broke it and said fuck it and just tacked in new ones

3000 microfarad capacitor

4000 microfarad capacitor

Huh yeah

I'm not too sure

The guy, who is way more versed than I, said he tested the transistors and they were good

All I'm not really sure other than electrolytics, which I'll change

In the infinite creativity of engineers, it's just called stud mount

It is a thing of beauty though

That's certainly what they look like. I would think it was just I've stuck in an aluminum bolt if not fit the printing on it

Interestingly enough

That Heathkit power supply has a couple more in it

Socketed even

So funny thing about that

I picked up something with more of them

So the battery eliminator is fine but the regulated power supply drops out under load

From the manual, looking like it could be a transistor

So I picked up some equipment today

1950s ish Heathkit battery eliminator

70s ish Heathkit DC power supply

Some professional AV switches

Was supposed to be an omelette but I broke it so scrambled eggs

Saturday morning 1966

It’s alive-again- Saturday night on MeTV- when Basil Rathbone continues his family legacy by restoring the Monster to frightening power! It’s Karloff in his last role as the Monster and the premier of Bela Lugosi as Ygor in “Son of Frankenstein “! 8 pm eastern/pacific, 7 central time!

The part of this that is true is the they have apologized to their neighbors for, basically getting caught in the crossfire.

Meanwhile the US blew up schoolchildren and is trying to brush it under the rug

Actually

Can any not-US friends give me news sources so I can try to fight through the propaganda a little?

Oh just the @Lockheed Martin account casually admitting that they've known about the war months ago Lockheed Martin @Lockheed Martin We have agreed to quadruple critical munitions production. As a result of President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, we began this work months ago with @SecWar Hegseth and Deputy Secretary Feinberg.

Per this

This is what they're willing to admit, likely other losses are happening. They wouldn't be freaking out about the amount of ordnance currently available

Wars are won by logistics. If things were going smoothly, Lockheed wouldn't need assure us they're upping production. After having already upped

The Soviet Union collapsed only 2 years after failing in the afghan-russo war
After, the oligarchs rushed to buy up formerly public works & services to privatize everything concentrating wealth to a handful and leading to a puppet government run by insecure 'strong' men while the population suffered

There's so, so many great movies from that year

I'm going to have to go with

Return of the Living Dead

Mac and Me is a close second, also tied with Earth Girls are Easy

I'm guessing they know this bill is a loser but if this gets added to it they can "negotiate" down to the just the voter ID elements of the bill. Then if (when) it fails they'll blame the "radical" Democrats" for wanting "Transgender For Everyone™"

Anti trans legislation is a losing gambit for politicians in many states but by god the Heritage Foundation will shoehorn it in to federal legislation over and over

Oh yeah

I never did show how much the boiling the belt helped

It was around 25 rpm before boiling the belt and after it's actually slightly fast but well within acceptable

That's a lot of lost idler wheel

Woah

Tubi has Ben 10 with Secret of the Omnitrix as the season four finale

Which it was originally intended to be but not the order the episodes aired

This guy to the people who track inflation
