Klay Anderson <mailserver.cctv@gmail.com>: May 07 07:51AM -0700 So in my attempt to update the male Edison on my USA Subaru Level 1 car charger, I discovered two things. The encapsulating rubber is the worst pain to remove and there are five wires not just three. In addition to the usual line, neutral, and earth, there are pink and purple wires. Just hooking up the 3 power leads the charger works fine but the LEDs on the charger flash a lot and I've not a guide to what they all mean. I'm thinking that the "Jet" brand plug might be a GFCI but it is so sealed and sonically welded that even if I opened it up, it's probably potted inside. Does anyone have experience or psychic insight to the pink and purple connections; possibly a replacement plug source? Photo <shorturl.at/azCFU> Thank you.

Phil   There's a character in a TV show (Big Bang Theory) that you remind me of. Like that character (Sheldon), you also seem to have a problem with sarcasm or hyperbole unless it's accompanied by a smiley face emoji.

"pfjw@aol.com" <peterwieck33@gmail.com>: May 06 12:18PM -0700 You are far too kind!

John-Del <ohger1s@gmail.com>: May 06 12:37PM -0700 > You are far too kind!   I'm just a sweetheart down deep.   You would have thought that OHM (off his meds) Phil would have caught on to Jeff's sarcasm when Jeff summed up the evaluation of the resistor's tight value readings and temperature torture resistance with "I think it passed" - the quotes being Jeff's...

Jeff Urban <jurb6006@gmail.com>: May 07 04:28AM -0700 >Any error is in your METER !!!   No, it is not. This is compared to two other good meters, one a Fluke 8842, and one of them was calibrated to NIST a couple of years ago.   No other resistors on near that range read 0.1% high.   But you grab on to anything to dig on someone so, so be it.

The guy who has a cockroach infestation in his trailer wants to bring up cleanliness?   **"I bought one of the above (Sony CDP101) immediately they appeared on sale in Sydney -....

My wife and I will indulge once a week or so. We DON'T however keep rotting cans of beans, soup, or SPAM in our sinks or under our bed, so we don't have roaches in our house.   Try spraying WD-40 around your trailer: I hear roaches don't care for it.   Oh, and Peter is a gentleman. I'm sure no one would use that term in the same sentence with your name, unless of course it's to say that you aren't..

Fit and finish are excellent with my Fluke meters. Just what I was looking for. Thanks again. J

Cydrome Leader <presence@MUNGEpanix.com>: May 07 03:39AM > Just what I was looking for. > Thanks again. > J   how flexible are the leads? Are they more rubbery/silicone-like or more like soft PVC?   The sample size is two, but I noticed my ~5 year old Fluke probes seems more flexible than the newer ones. Part numbers are the same.

Not a lot of room for multi section requirements, and they're probably expensive unless you order 1K or more.   I kind of like my idea of using schedule 40 PVC. Cut to any height, easy to shape or round off the edges, spray with flat gray or dark silver, hot glue over new caps - done. Cheap and easy.

dplatt@coop.radagast.org (Dave Platt): May 06 12:23PM -0700 In article <r8ubdk$4og$1@reader2.panix.com>,   >I've considered the discs may have deteriorated because they are shrink >wrapped and both the discs and wrap might emit fumes.   That's possible, I suppose. From what I recall, the cyanine dyes have a shorter shelf live, in general, than the phthalocyanine dyes. Manufacturing quality and quality control also make a big difference.   >the disc in explorer like I am reading it and then go into writing.   >I may just have to give up. >It just seems like a waste to write a big CD for small amounts of data.   A maxim I learned many years ago - "cheap is often very expensive".   I don't burn all that many CDs these days, but I decided quite a while back that buying lower-tier CD-R blanks was a false economy... waste of time, waste of discs, and the risk that I would be unable to read the discs reliably if I needed them.   Also, I think the "mini" CD-R blanks were treated more as a novelty than as a serious data-storage solution. I don't recall seeing any which were made by manufacturers I was confident of.   When I was buying CD-R blanks frequently, I tried to stick with the Taiyo Yuden discs from Japan. They sold their business and production to JVC, who ran it for a few years. Eventually JVC decided to get out of the business, and they sold the technology to CMC.   CMC now makes a line of "Powered by TY" CD-R blanks using the Taiyo Yuden process. You might want to try picking up a pack (I've dealt successfully with Media Supply) and see how their compatibility and readability turns out to be with your equipment.
