I wish I had worked that little bit more to make the grades and become an Electrical Engineer because power supplies are brutal.

When a power supply requires one of the largest irons you own and the engineer who designed it 50 years ago can only laugh at you.

The amount of static I have received over using Teflon tape on sensors has been interesting.
It has not leaked and it still passes electrical continuity, when that matters. It’s fine, okay?

I've seen the simulated ones recently but they are too expensive to be in "buy it and mess around with it for a while" territorry.

Watching Adrian begin to scope the amount of work he's got going on that Lisa's I/O board reminds me of the job I had to do a few years back where it was easier to just strip that corner of the board, remove the failing masking and replace traces and sockets as per the schematic.

I've been staring at this car both in person and online for the last five hours and at $1000 it's a better deal than my PDP-8/S was, but if I'm buying a car to make a bunch of youtube videos, then sell it and not feel greasy, I gotta sell this thing again in short order, just cleaner and registered.

I have a few people asking from the video today about the filtering on the GPIB port. Here's some photos showing how it sits between the rear port and the GPIB input on the actual printer. Here's also another photo of the shielding on the door/window and just the printer itself with paper loaded.

Scrolling through LGR's MidWest videos and missed that he busted me making my first purchase of the show in the background. (it was a $50 5mb Apple Profile drive)

I have been talking with the engineer who designed most of this supply and even he admits it is sort of a hack. It's a linear supply so he designed the regulator boards but another employee designed the regulation control board. That board was prone to problems, usually bad 1% precision resistors.

I’ve had my healthy dose of 80’s optical storage for the weekend. Hope you are having a good one too!

Thank you to @dexterstechlab.bsky.social for the tear down he did on one of these drives almost a decade ago. I think I found my problem. 💀
