Nice explanation, that makes a lot more sense now.

Nice detective work! Yeah, I was curious about the 176 as well. Now:

Anyone have any experience with German tax stamps that could guess how old this is?

I don't understand that second video. It looked like the guy starting the fight was pissed because he missed a massively dangerous hit?

JH13

I assume these are different and/or not overlapping with the other big Mercury box sets?

A few on deck now:

Excellent. I decided to just pick at random based on Google and see how it goes. Will report back.

Anyone have experience purchasing a Montecristi / Panama straw hat? I am not quite willing to go to an Optimo or Brent Black level, so looking for a good value in the lower tiers...

Do you pay in scotch?

Nope. It might help reduce some heat, but shouldn't really reduce hum, unless you have a poorly designed transformer.

Hm. If the battery voltages are on and offset is fine, LEDs are lit, the circuit pretty much has to be working. The reduced volume in one channel to me is very odd. I would perhaps continue to swap the easy stuff, input (assuming this is good) source and output tubes and even the two umbilicals. See if you can get that behavior to swap channels.

Ok. Do the same and swap the input tubes. Compare.

Yup, connect a single channel and measure across the big resistor in series with the MOSFETs in the PSU

Perhaps the trimmers in the batteries?

Depending on what was used as a gasket, you might need to pull from opposite sides of the basket at the same time.

I usually fashion a grabber that goes in at the screw holes. You can remove some (wood) material so that you can hook the basket from the back. I am having a hard time describing this, but basically be aggressive inside the screw holes as it will hide any damage.

So what do the resident Apple zealots think of this XcodeGhost thing?

Give them a shot. Help confirm for future builders

I have used something by Acronis and Clonezilla. I would also recommend a "clone" instead of a "copy" as you invariably miss something.

Does the noise get audible? Meaning, you hear a squealing without using the headphones?

I think he issue comes down to tolerances. It shouldn't hurt to lower the resistor though, for new builders I don't see why you couldn't just start with the lower value, doubtful any harm would ensue.

No, you need to start a revolution for wire to board connectors. Kerry and I are the grassroots movement

So, likely a media (soda?) blasting process? Interesting. The color looks a bit different as well. Not a critique, just saying it looks different than I would have guessed.
