I have that set, as I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but it doesn't
have the bit the O.P. needs (Phillips-with-a-hole-in-the-middle). It
does, however, have some other interesting "security" bits, and as
Michael Terrell pointed out, HF sells other security bit sets that may
have it. The quality is very good, BTW.
But any decent hardware store will probably have the needed bit. (*Not*
the big orange store.)

My apologies to the makers of the Chia Pet -- which I did not mean
to denigrate. (But, it's probably made in China now, too...)

In general, pretty girls are picky. When a single man get into the
heart of a pretty
woman, she will stay with you forever. The harder you get, the longer
you maintain. The
old saying is easy come, easy go. These great dating tips of how to
get your pretty
dating girls or pretty women on bed. Remember, not all pretty girls
are the same so you
have to change the method somehow. Pretty women or pretty girls are
different from other
girls, they are pickier. Pretty girls or beautiful women are different
from other dating
women. To know exactly what pretty ladies like you need to pay
attention to these
following great tips. Whether meeting pretty women at the nightclub,
in school, or
somewhere else, many single men have a hard time on getting their
pretty girls on bed.
The main reason is that they do not know how to get pretty women to
bed with them.
However, you have to remember that it is usually too hard to get
pretty ladies to bed
with you if you just met them for a few hours or on the first dates.
Love, romance, and intimate need to be taking time so women can
understand more about
their men before they bed with you. It is not about you are not
handsome to make her
getting attractive to you, but because you just don't know how to talk
to pretty girls. I
know many friends who are not handsome but they married to very
beautiful pretty wives. I
am going to show you some ways that you can get your dating pretty
woman on bed easily
after the third date or so. As you know that many pretty women in
beautiful or Western
countries don't like to sleep with men they first meet so do not try
that on the first
date but you need to make her feel attractive to you first. Pretty
girls like sweet talk
from dating men: it is very important that you use nice and sweet
words every time you
talk to her. pretty women really love sweet talk so you must use nice
words to talk to
her. This is the main key which makes your pretty lady feel good and
safe. You should
also talk to her with a smile all the time. When she feels good about
you, she will bed
with you.
Also, pretty women like to be told that they are very beautiful: each
pretty woman has
her own beauty. You should find that specific beauty from your pretty
woman and tell her
that. If she has a big nose, then you can't say her nose is very
beautiful. She will know
that you are telling a lie. Moreover, pretty ladies like polite guys:
when walking with
her, do not look at other ladies, make her feel she is "the one" you
have. Open the car
door for her and close the car door every time you go with her. There
are also some other
politely ways you can do to make her feel more attractive to you, such
as bringing the
drinks or food to her, and etc. The final dating tips are pretty girls
do not like men
talk about sex in front of her: if you keep talking about intimate
moment of your last
girlfriend, she will be bored and think that you only want the sex.
Meeting pretty girls and women is easy as 1, 2, and 3. So, are you
ready to meet pretty
girls? Do not wait. Take action now. Join these free dating sites and
meet that special
soul mate of your dream

Kinda looks like the RD60HUF1 RF output xistor might be toast. The
Vgs bias adjustment is a DC characteristic, and does not require any
RF drive to function. See Pg 2/7 which shows the Vgs to Igs graph. At
Ids=2.5A, Vgs should be 2.5 volts. You can measure that with a
volts-guesser by simply removing the bottom cover:

Whats this with plastic bags for preservation. First you get brown oiliness
of the plasticiser? (from the plastic or the band?) in the bag after some
years and then they perish as "in the field".
I store salvaged bands in open cardboard boxes with a good sprinkling of
talcum
powder, or over suspended cardboard cones that then show automatically the
sizes, again dusted with talc. Every now and then a rogue one goes gooey but
it does not set the
remainder off like an infection.
