oldschool@tubes.com: Sep 10 05:26PM -0400 Does anyone have a schematic for Florida.   At last notice, 2.8 million people in Florida are without power.   It's obviously caused by a bad capacitor. Probably one of them foil/paper wax coated caps from the 50s.   Please upload your schematics for the wiring grid in Florida, and mail all your unneeded capacitors to the office of the governor of Florida. (New and Tested caps only, please). <LOL>

A few years back I acquired a couple of 100MHz analogue 'scopes. A Hameg and an Iwatsu. Both were decent enough 'scopes and the Hameg manual was available easily enough, but the Iwatsu presented a problem. I contacted the manufacturer and a full service manual appeared in my inbox within days. No charge. I was surprised and delighted.   FWIW: My second CRO was an Hitachi. It was almost an exact copy of a Tektronix, ca. 1963-ish. All valves. Lots of them. Even had a bunch of valves in the delay line. Damned thing consumed 500 Watts. Not a smart purchase for Australia and for a young guy whose workshop measured around 8 Square Metres.   I understand though.     -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au

Can you imagine what a loan amortization > schedule looks like under such a calendar?   No, jews are good at finance because the catholic church banned christians from usury - lending money and charging interest. As money became more and more important it became necessary for there to be financiers but christians weren't going to risk lending their money free of charge. So jews were invited into most catholic / christian countries to be the financiers as they had no such rule in *their* holy book. Without jews stepping in to finance large projects we'd still be in the dark ages.   Yet how do we thank them?

It should have been made compulsory as it was in most other countries which changed over. -- Shaun.   "Humans will have advanced a long, long way when religious belief has a cozy little classification in the DSM*."

I probably don't have an answer, but I'm curious.   >Do you?   Nope. You'll get no advice from me unless you're a masochist and into Learn By Destroying(tm).   I built my own carbonation contraption from junk in about 1973. I did just about everything wrong, hit all the pitfalls, and didn't listen to anyones advice. My best fizz water had a carbonic acid taste <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid> and lacerated my tongue because I used too much pressure. I also tried to use room temperature water, into which CO2 refuses to diffuse, or if I'm lucky, takes a few days with agitation. I was fortunate and didn't produce a simulated CO2 powered water rocket, but did manage to build credible CO2/water sprayer which might make a usable fire extinguisher.   In 1973 the 2L bottle was just becoming available in the stores. I had just returned from Israel, where the only economical way to buy Coca Cola was in 2L bottles. They were everywhere. When I returned to the USA, I temporarily switched from Coca Cola to Pepsi which was the only drink at the time available in 2L bottles. Eventually, I accumulated a supply of 2L bottles (which barely fit in the tiny refrigerators of the day).   One of my few successes was to copy the common seltzer bottle and install a siphon tube in the 2 liter PET bottle. The siphon tube allowed me to bubble agitate the liquid from the bottom of the bottle, thus dramatically increasing the surface area of the water, and therefore also increasing the CO2 diffusion rate. Filling the bottle horizontally, with a bent siphon tube, was even better. However, I made a fundamental mistake. I had not purged the air from the top of the 2L bottle before pressurizing, resulting in a fizzy mix of compressed air and CO2 in carbonic acid. It's easy to tell if you've made this mistake because the resulting fizz water tastes and smells horrible. I also attached a gas flow meter and aquarium bubble counter to check the CO2 flow. The flow meter range was too high and barely moved the ball. The bubble counter range was too low causing the initial blast of CO2 to empty the glass vial. Can't win.   Ok, enough anecdotes. Follow the instructions in the above URL or at least double check your existing setup to see what you've missed. Good luck.   -- 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

Thanks   >Thanks please l have done what the site(https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fremoveandreplace.) recommended but still the refrigerator will not work.   What site? The site you provided above is useless gibberish. I think you mean this site: https://removeandreplace.com/2016/02/10/lg-refrigerator-in-demo-display-mode-panel-displays-off-how-to-reset/   Perhaps one of these other instructions for doing the reset will work better: <http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000021-1337637756594-ff> <http://www.manualsonline.com/support/lg/refrigerator/demo-mode-866733> <https://www.shopyourway.com/questions/1094845> etc... or even a video: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOdaPiTVG3U>   Keep trying. It should work eventually. If it continues to not reset, have someone else follow the instructions WITHOUT YOUR HELP and see if that works any better. Assumptions, bad timing, fumbling with the buttons, or not hitting and releasing both bottons at exactly the same time, might have an effect.   Also, make sure the refrigerator is plugged in and turned on while doing the reset. Don't laugh, but I had to help an "installer" do the reset once, only to find out that he failed to turn the refrigerator on because the printed instructions didn't tell him to do so.   Good luck. -- 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
