N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Mar 24 03:30PM At the moment only diodes , but what about more sophisticated stuff? Required a way of holding 2 of the tiniest (2mm long dimension) SMD devices in registration , to solder together . Used a 6 pole rare earth magnet from a VCR motor. Also broke a chip off to epoxy to the end of a matchstick as a manipulator, for transfering to pcb and holding in place while first solder dab. Any devices a definite no-no for high local magnetism? , presumably some SMD termination metal is not ferrous for one thing.

And given how many times very, very powerful magnets are used for cleaning materials and separating contamination artifacts from parts.   That being written:   a) There are magnet-based pick-and-place devices deployed for SMD devices already. b) There are magnetic clamping and holding devices already deployed for boards and other parts. Their outstanding virtue is no moving parts.   NOTE: Reed and other sensitive mechanical relays using internal magnets may be damaged by excessive stray fields. So keep that in mind.   Otherwise, have-at.   http://hackaday.com/2011/02/24/magnetic-smd-pick-and-place/   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

avagadro7@gmail.com: Mar 24 06:03AM -0700 slightly OT ...   is there a common response in qualifying specs to the naming of BANDIT BLASTER KILLER AMP DOA SONIC GUN et al .....   is this quality ? quality what ? R&R Hard Rock Virgil Fox ? I'd guess that is the intended market but does that work or is the naming just a ploy for cheap outputs

For example, all laptops and Chromebooks only have one camera facing the user. That's good for video chat (Skype) but really awkward for taking camera photos.   Some feature phones have only a front facing camera, suitable for taking pictures, but not selfies or video chat. For these, there are clip on mirrors for redirecting the image: <http://forum.xcitefun.net/front-facing-camera-with-a-clip-on-mirror-t59495.html> or for user facing cameras on smartphones: <http://walyou.com/blog/2010/12/21/smartphone-video-calling/> No clue if these things are actually useful or if they don't mangle the image. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

Same basic philosophy, two monoblocks in the same box sharing an on/off switch.   I got both my examples for pocket change - but at different times - as they both displayed the same problem - intermittent left channel.   Whatever else HK did and used with these amps, the input jacks were perhaps the cheapest they could fine, and I think that they may have specified crap directly as I could not find after-market devices of the same wretched quality.   In any case, replaced the jacks and rewired the inputs and all has been well since. Since that time, I have repaired two other 19s with the same problem.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA
