Too small is definitely worse. I normally ride the large end of the scale according to the numbers I got from Competitive Cyclists fitting tool.

Wow, that is really nicely done, with great attention to detail!

Happy Birthday!

Thanks Kevin. That is what I figured.

Happy Birthday!

I don't know if you would parallel the device to limit it to 270V or put it in series with the collector or emitter?

Happy Birthday Colin! Hope you have a great one!

You might check with Jim McShane... good guy and seems to know his shit http://www.mcshanedesign.net/tubes.htm

Happy Birthday Steve!!! and glad to see you back

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ed!

I'll vouch for Michael as someone who you can trust in this GB. I just worked a deal with him for a pair of Multiamp boards, run by the same board house and identical process, and they are very nice PCBs. Michael is a pleasure to deal with, so if you want a set of KGSSHV boards, this would be a good way to get them.

^ This. Best wishes NE folk...

Happy Birthday!

Yep, feelin sorry for you east coast peeps. That is a fuck ton of snow already!

Interesting. I hadn't looked at the product tech page when I posted above. Have you actually heard a difference using these cables versus others?

do tell...

I think ours is the AWN432. My wife thinks we paid around $500 or so for it, but that was at least 5 years ago or so. We've been happy with ours, but I haven't read up on them lately.

Uhhh, yeah.... jebus.

[rant] This counts as yesterday, but I replaced the power window motor and lock actuator on the drivers side front door on my wife's Honda. We had had it in the dealership (not in warranty) for power steering noise ($200), and the window and door lock problems ($800). Fixed all of it for $120 in parts. The lock actuator wasn't easy, but got it done. Window motor was pretty easy, had it done in an hour. The power steering problem was covered by a service bulletin, which the service guy didn't mention. A $0.75 o-ring, 10 minute job, done. The car was a Honda certified car. My wife had complained about the window making noise at least 3 times while it was in warranty, starting about a month after we bought it. About 2 months ago, it made a huge noise when my wife rolled the window down, then quit working completely shortly after. They never did anything about it. When I mentioned this to the service guy this time, he said that Honda doesn't consider a part bad until it has actually quit working. He did get a 20% discount approved. Fuck them. All fixed now. I may contact the district zone office anyway to see if they will do anything. [/rant]

Sounds like the inlet valve to me as well Shelly. Damn, that is an expensive valve. If you do go the new washer route, the service guy we use has a website with some good advice regarding brands etc. http://www.allbrandservicenaperville.com/products-washer.html I kind of blow off some of his recommendations regarding controls to a point (he likes manual and hates electronic stuff). I learned this after I paid him $300 (or was it $600?) for the control unit in our old furnace, which he called the "brain box". I took the dead one apart and all it was was a few relays and a couple of basic looking ICs. Brain box, indeed

Sucks Nate (and Haj)! I saw the snowstorm heading your way and felt for ya. Here is our deck/backyard last Monday.

Isn't the input impedance awfully low using the THAT340? I may use it anyhow, though I already have a 4-ch RK27 50K ohm pot. I have to do this cheap if I am going to do it right now. Can embellish later. I could use some 2SJ74s if anyone has a few they could spare

Happy Birthday Jeff!!

Believe I figured it out looking at the original dynalo schematic. NPN -> N-ch, PNP -> P-ch.
