Your old pal from twitter or whatever.

I like coffee and goats. Beer and baseball. Poker and pinball. Playing with and sometimes repairing old computers and old radios.

Too many hobbies, master of none.

AITA: wife (43, F) said “Ed Markey” but pronounced it like “Biz Markie” and I (48, M) laughed

$10 flea market VTVM - battery corrosion cleaned, recapped and calibrated well enough for me. precision resistors were all good enough.

I’ll probably never use the Ohmmeter on this but I might install a battery eliminator just so it’s complete.

this will get used for AM radio alignments.

Good morning to the youtube channel that posts unedited Line Cuts of the Gong Show, and no one else.

Happy birthday to the MOS 6502! It was 50 years ago today that people were able to buy their first samples of the chip from a jar in a hotel room at WESCON.

Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!

correction, KG-687.

i’m not surprised to find it has a fault, but i am a little surprised by the failure mode. indicator blinking is not mentioned in troubleshooting documentation. the lamp is on its own tap on a secondary of the power transformer, so this is pretty weird.

time to dig in.
what i got at the MIT flea market 🧵

first this sweep generator. i’m going to try my first FM alignment on my grundig console.

it’s a Knight KG-627, built from a kit, but the construction looks very respectable.

unfortunately the included crystal is for TV, not 10.7mhz for FM.

#nepatriots week 1

maye inaccurate
o-line mostly held up
too many breakdowns in coverage
no pressure rushing four
so much for “winning the second half”
