    LED house lights - turn on delay

    When we moved in a few years ago there was a 4 light fixture with non-replaceable LEDs that took about 10 seconds to light up after flipping the switch. Recently the LED bulbs in the range hood started to develop a 1-2 second turn on delay sometimes. Last week I replaced the foyer light and...

    I'm looking for schematics and service manual for a Velodyne Miniv sub. Main fuse is blown along with what looks like a little thermistor between the output transistors and the toroid. Physically broken film cap on other edge of board...

    Workbench pictures

    I happened to see a picture here somewhere that had a PC set up next to an electronics bench. It reminded me that I had an old W7 PC that I could set up in my shop. Decided to put it on my scope cart since modern scopes are much smaller. Made a kb/mouse extension from some spare wood. Now I...

    Old towels

    Anyone else prefer ratty old bath towels? I hate new towels because they repel water instead of absorbing it until you wash them a hundred times and they start fraying.

    Pointless use of technology

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.autoblog.com/amp/2023/09/25/ford-the-first-oem-to-offer-digital-license-plate/ Why, other than a status symbol? Way too expensive, and a subscription to boot... And when the crooks figure out how to hack it they can change plate numbers on the run.

    What are these MicroTowers?

    I saw these in a FB group and nobody there has been able to ID them yet. They have EPI MicroTower logos, but I've never seen this model, and couldn't find it on the Human Speakers website. Size wise they seem similar to MT-2, but they appear to have all drivers on one side. All of the MT's...

    Awnings or mylar roller shades

    We have a lot of glass on the west wall of our main living space, and some on the South wall. That area gets much hotter than the rest of the house when the sun is out. My wife's parents (no longer with us) had reflective/transparent black mylar roller shades on the sunny side of their last 2...

    Switch for toaster oven

    I was making toast this morning in our Kitchen Aid KCO211BM toaster oven. The timer started counting down from about 3 minutes as usual. First time I looked it was down to about a minute and a half. Next glance it was at 4+ minutes so I shut it off. The display changed to toast settings as...

    HP PC Warranty - Scam? Coincidence?

    A few days ago, my HP desktop PC popped up a message that my warranty is expiring. I assume they wanted to sell me an extended warranty, but I dismissed the pop-up instead of following the link. Today in the middle of a Windows update the screen went blank and a BIOS type of message popped up...

    SA-9500II now a Bias issue

    I've had this amp on a shelf for many years. I re-capped it a few years ago just before moving. I put it on the bench recently to check it out and found that the left channel is weaker than the right channel. About half as loud, or maybe less... A note in my service manual verified that it...

    Patriot Ceiling Fan - Convert from remote control to wall switch?

    This spring I installed two Patriot ceiling fans, both of which are controlled by wireless remote control. My wife and I both find the remote control to be a PITA, and we want to convert them to wall switch control (Lutron MACL-LFQH which works great on our pull-chain Hunter fan). I thought it...

    Recognize this Telefunken?

    I'm supposed to be getting this Telefunken turntable from a friend the next time I see him. I don't have a model number yet. I tried searching for a matching picture online with no luck. Does anyone recognize this thing? Any good?

    Morel mushrooms

    This is our first spring in our pond front house. We were walking the dogs down to the pond and I spotted a group of Morel mushrooms. After some research my wife cleaned them and fried them in butter. Very tasty!!!

    Bryston 4B-ST

    There is a pair of 5.1 ohm 1/2W resistors in parallel in the power supply that went up in flames. I've been unable to find a schematic for this particular model, so I traced it out and drew a schematic of the area in question (below). I checked every component in this circuit and found: Both...

    What is this part?

    Someone gave us a 9-year-old NIB (Rockin Rider) rocking horse for our grandson. After assembling it I found that the electronics were completely dead. It's supposed to have a motion sensor to trigger horse sounds and mouth movement, along with playing music when you squeeze an ear. I get 4.8v...
