that Maxtor enclosure I have from the June swapmeet... it has received new caps. soon I'll figure out how to add a fan... it has proven its worth and is now allowed to live forever against its will.

Went to the VCFed October swap. crazy stuff there, all stuff I couldn't afford, I wish people that got to spend money were able to get some crazy things.

I came home with an HP P1102w from the free pile for parts harvesting for mine, and also attained a few […]

welp, it made it
512MB Shuffle, from Week 37 2005, now slightly over 20 years old.

The kicker? Original Battery.
I think I'm gonna order a new one as a congratulatory maintenance item. it deserves that much.

Got my Vega 56 back from my friend that was borrowing it for the last month doing testing with his Ally X. I went to repaste it, not remembering doing so before... Glad I did. So many air pockets over portions of the die and even the HBM2 that had no […]

After some cracked solder joint repair, one barrel jack repair (broken pin), two through hole caps and a surprise surface mount capacitor replacement, this early 1988 JVC/Crown CD-110N CD player sprang straight to life.

Really weird semi portable unit […]

Has anyone else noticed that you can put most of the music on TWC weatherscan channels to Bob Ross painting happy little trees and it somehow fits really well

Am I the only person that would go to a waterfall on a cloudy rainy Wednesday morning for pics?
Thought I was gonna see some lingering surface fog but I got up too late.

Pics taken with the RX100mk6.

Gotta love it when the ballast lets out the magic goo...

Second on the block: this X-Fi I grabbed. I had to retire the other one due to bad corrosion I didn't know about under the output jack and external connector, so I yanked all the caps off the one and put them on the other... with a few slight changes. also […]

Okay! First item of business from the swap: An Arduboy, Kickstarter edition! it was $1. The battery was disconnected somehow (bad solder joint) so I soldered it back up and what do you know, it still had a charge!

I set it up with a game called Arduventure […]

Went to the VCFed swapmeet at InfoAge yesterday, as a patron and not a vendor. haven't been to one in a year due to last year's shenanigans outside my control, and honestly, it was a breath of fresh air not having to worry about a table while perusing the […]

Guess I'm the person that becomes the authority on these. These two Dimension 8100s were proxy purchased for me at this past weekend's swapmeet at SystemSource. Specs unknown to an extent but they're made within a few months of each other, but one has Win2k […]

more good news today, swapped the razer sound card for the Turtle beach Santa Cruz to make sure that still worked, and it does, and at the same time also swapped the gig card for a dual-port PRO/100 S PCI-X card to test that out after reattaching a knocked-off decoupling cap. no issues to report […]
