Trying to get the Metrix U61B to work w/ 9 pin tubes. Socket on Camembert 1…bad connection. Heater won’t get voltage. Camembert 2… same issue until cleaning but also has a better socket. Heat shield in the way. After some force…now it works.

Happy low kwality suit Saturday

2 nice NOS RCA 6v6GTA 9/1960.

Tv10 and the Metrix U61B agree

I tried so hard to find something about them but got absolute nothing. Wans know how they come up with such a name

Lethal oatmeal is back pleximaxxing

Wish I could find the band this came from. Who tf is called killer oats

A redo because Bluesky won’t let me tag people as usual

осциллограф с1-35/ c1-35 oscilloscope first tests.

The Teslas mysterious “sine” wave has successfully been found

Tek 69 with the Tek clone

That’s what my friend also said. There’s a single tube in this scope other than the crt but besides that is all transistor. Only a few paper caps got changed

Solid state

I’ll check when I’m home and can better look at the schematic and try and figure it out. transistors/ switch modes aren’t my cup of tea

осциллограф с1-35 / oscilloscope c1-35 made in the Ukraine 1969. A very overbuilt and extremely well built Soviet military scope similar to a Tek 321a. Can run on 220/115v ac or 26/14v dc, max 5Mhz for the bandwidth. Thank you for shipping it safely @darekyl.bsky.social

Testing 2x 6k6 for a certain creature and his Vtvm.

Function again

Anode voltage ✔️

Finnegan is very (un)threatening. The solution was to use the paper press and turn him into a lawn ornament because it is more scary.

That is all.

Everything was well packed and yes the copper monstrosity destroyed nothing but spinal cords lifting it

L1-3 - working still

1961 Drager Romulus narkoseapparat complete. 40 something pounds of chunky copper

Double checking measurements with the cinder block

Long overdue Neuberger RPM370-1 function test.

Mash all Monday + the Marshall mutt

Never posted the completed resto of this. C1958-59? Drager Fabius M / "Feldgroß" Nargoseapparat. A field use variant of the normal Fabius originally designed for the Bundeswehr / Civil Defense. Somehow this was exported to Peru. Sat in storage its whole life well preserved.

Haha its 70 years old and runs like a top. When it complains I'll do something about it.

I can only imagine the smells..

Yesss the stinkers. I love them

Good yoting

0 effort suit Saturday

Glorious Siemens Selenium Rectifiers.

🧵 @coyotescalling.bsky.social

I would but I'll keep them either as solder practice or just so I have reference as what parts/value were in it originally. Already have bumble bee caps in my guitars anyways...they just look pretty and dont sting me

Recapping the metrix YET again. So it stops shocking me w/ 84-110v almost every time I plug it in. Put the second spare in and changed polarity even though it shouldn't matter. Now it seems to not run like shit...or trip its breaker when turning off DC.

Vornado fume extractor

Recapping pt2.

And inconveniences. Thank you for the shocking information that you are displeased

Mail day. Metrix caps time

Thats one way to do it haha!

Not gonna shorten it on this bike though. Dropper helps but its still tall with it down. I have another enduro I use daily so this is a backup/loaner bike now. It has some history i wouldnt want to ruin either.

200 dollar enduro shit box has been revived from long term storage to see if it works. Wish it didn't have such a ridiculous seat tube height. Geometry is so good yet the seat tube is equivalent to like an xl despire being m. 26lb speed weapon minus the seat up my ass 24/7.

Working ish
