Yes, I know this is 10 years old, but during the two week "holiday season" I'm
going through the 'treasures' in the basement, and I have an RK-137A, and its
manual. Tubes are
 
12AX7 to left of volume control
12AU7 behind tone control
6AQ5 behind 12AU7

Someone miscounted the number of pins. The 12ax7 and 12au7 tubes have 9
pins and the 6aq5 has 7 pins.

Has anyong looked at the 3 in 1 853D SMD DC Power Supply Hot Air Iron
Gun Rework Soldering Station from China that is selling for about $ 12
to $ 15 wth free shipping on ebay now ?
 
I bought one similar without the low voltage power supply/meter a few
years back. They were around $ 60 back then. While I am sure it would
not hold up under heavy use , it works very well for my maybe once
month use.
 
I just put one on order as a spare at that price. There are several
sellers at that price and several more at the $ 50 or so range.

The Chinese gov. must really have it in for techs right now. I agree the
price is too good to be true, shipping alone is more than the item is worth.

How this item can be shipped for free is crazy.
 
How safe can the electrics be in this device? I'll buy one to pull it
apart because I can't believe it will meet any electrical safety standard.

Its a scam. Look at the feedback for all those sellers, Sports briefs
HKD 1445 (185 USD).
 
If its too good to be true its probably a scam.
 
Actually I bought one of these at a flea market recently for $10, its
not a bad unit.

The one I bought from (just ordered it ) has 100% with 92 sales.
Several others like it have 100% with 80 to 100 sales.
 
I did notice some similar items that have several choices and for around
$ 12 you get the accessories and not the whole unit.
 
I know ordering from China does not seem like it is possiable. I have
ordered several things for a dollar or two. Postage should be way more
than that. However everything but one came in and that item was a
crimping tool that usually sold for about $ 30 and it was listed for $
8. A message to ebay got my money back in less than 3 days.

I did put together another XP box. Actually it worked but I didn't realize it. After the power glitches it just stalled on boot, but then I found a non-bootable floppy in it. Maybe it is my stupidity... butt it has the eject button that sticks out when there is a disk in there and I noticed it, and the thing booted. I still had to let scandisk run on boot so that everything runs. The fact that it is so fast is not the prime reason for it. I have software I need, that is that. Programs open before you can even thin "one thousand one". I get to "one t" and that is it.
 
That adapter you pointed me to might be a good idea. I am having trouble with this MODEM and if they ever tell me I am going to die in a month ATT is taking a hit. The way it is I finally got a fairly reliable connection but it is both on wire and wireless.
 
The printer is on the table next to mt bench, I could use that space for other things. So if it is wireless I can put it just about anywhere, now that I got something that will drive it.
 
This board only has two SATAs on it ! WTF. I found a PCI card that adds four and it is under ten bucks shipped, that is on eBay and my account doesn't work, they wanted me to change my password and I didn't. I will check with my parts vendors ad see if any has one and combine it with something else to save shipping. Yes,I am cheap, well at least when it comes to some shit. So that adapter, (I CAN buy off eBay) all fine and good, BUT, then where do I put the printer ? this is a BIG house but two other people live here with as much junk as I got, plus I got my business here. The first landing at the stairs would be great but there is no room. it is used like a depot, if someone buys a big bag of apples, oranges or whatever they take some and leave some there. Plus the question, how do I scan ?
 
Still without the wire I have many more options, all I need is electricity.
 
This new old box is already partly customized, when I get the other drives in it then I will start on the Sendto menu.
