Got back to the over-overdrive problem. Send side of the springline easily
driven into clipping , I will try reducing the gain of the send side amp and
increase the gain of the receive side and add some mechanical/acoustic
decoupling to the tank

No longer clipping on large signal input. Originally the tank held by 4
large bolts , large enough to hold a 500W transformer, not a 2 ounce reverb
tank. Decoupled with 4 small bolts passing thru 4 of those floppy rubber CD
optical deck vibration decouplers, so no direct metal coupling now between
tank and case. Much the same throughput so hopefully a mod repeatable in
this generic fault area of external reverb boxes.

I just did it, the LCD requires only +5 and +12 and the HV for backlight.
Unfortunately the inverters for the backlight are on the smps board so the
screen remained dark but I coul see some activity in the dark.
Hard to tell if everything is ok, but there's some life.
I think I'll order a complete smps replacement board from china (which will
last a couple of years again).

If I had a fucking pig here, I would fucking kill it right here on
camera. I don't give a fuck. I like to eat. Fuck him. I'll cut his
throat with a knife, I'll do it with my teeth. I don't give a shit. I
really don't give a fuck. That's what I think.

I'm trolling on USENET because I can and if I want to go fucking down
here in town to the meat shop, if I want to get a pig and if I want to
come home and butcher it in my front yard motherfucker I'm going to do
it. Fuck it. If I'm going to eat motherfucker I'm going to eat. As you
can see, I'm fat. I like to eat.

So, maybe I will. Maybe I'll make a video, just figure out the most
brutal way we can murder a pig so I can get me some bacon for tomorrow
for breakfast. I don't know but I'm going to do what the fuck I want to
do. You guys can keep talking shit, but I'm going to do what the fuck I
want to anyway.

You know, keep on hating. I'm going to keep on doing what the fuck I
want to do and it's whatever. So when it comes down to it, you ain't shit.

I was demagnetizing all my tools (with a bulk tape eraser) for many
years. One day, I noticed that the typical 5.25" floppy disk drive
has a rather powerful rotating magnet positioned about 5mm away from
the floppy disk. If that didn't trash the floppy, I doubt that my
screwdriver would have any effect. So, I went the other direction and
started magnetizing all my tools, which turned out to be rather handy
for inserting screws in difficult locations. The only time these
tools caused a problem was when I accidentally placed a magnetized
screwdriver directly on top of a 5.25" floppy disk. Due to increased
spacing and protection provided by the plastic case in 3.5" floppies,
I haven't had any problems with those.

Unless you're working with magnetic compasses, magnetometers, flux
gate compasses, CRT's, or magnetic field measuring equipment, I don't
seem much danger or risk from magnetized tools. However, if you're
playing with the powerful magnets found inside most hard disk drives,
methinks you should probably exercise some concientious care in
keeping them away from any magnetic storage material. A "keeper" is
usually sufficient (such as my steel desk).

I still wouldn't bring a magnetized tool near an analog tape recorder's play
head. However... as you'd demagnetize the head "as a matter of course" after
servicing the recorder, it probably doesn't matter.

Heads were always demagged before leaving my bench so it wasn't ever an
issue for me.

I use old microwave magnetrons a number of places around my workshop
and have never had any problems, I just keep them away from crt's and
anything that has a magnetic tape involved. They are very handy for
magnetizing tools, just draw the screwdriver across the surface and
you're done.

Got this out of a Yahoo article today:

A group of more than 100 scientists and experts say in a new report that
California faces the risk of a massive "superstorm" that could flood a
quarter of the state's homes and cause $300 billion to $400 billion in
damage. Researchers point out that the potential scale of destruction in
this storm scenario is four or five times the amount of damage that could
be wrought by a major earthquake.

It sounds like the plot of an apocalyptic action movie, but scientists
with the U.S. Geological Survey warned federal and state emergency
officials that California's geological history shows such "superstorms"
have happened in the past, and should be added to the long list of
natural disasters to worry about in the Golden State.

FWIW, I have delved into several of my wife's sewing appliances that
were originally designed for European countries and they seem to
forget the current issue in adapting from 240V to 120V for the NA
market. Her two irons both failed from the overtemperature safety
cutout [self resetting thermal breaker] contacts burning, even through
the cutout should never have tripped. They were rated for 6A and the
irons draw about 12A at 120V. In both cases the cutout is spot welded
to the base assembly and not replaceable. New plate $85.
Similar with the old foot controllers for sewing machines where the
contacts look to have ample voltage clearances, but marginal contact
area. One Bernina has actually burnt one contact half away over the
last 50 odd years.
I cannot see a Samovar taking much less than 1000-1200watts, like most
kettles, so I would, myself, use a 10A rated cutout. Naturally, when
installing it, it is best to crimp the connections or spot weld but,
in any case, you must wrap the new one time thermal fuse in a wet rag
to keep it cool while attaching it.

** The device in question here is a "one shot" thermal fuse.

There are no contacts inside.
