Since we already had a winner in the over/under (10 days) and since that is long since blasted, we should have another over/under (respond by email) to see how long we can keep him twisting. At least once a week, someone should poke the squirrel with a "boo" and see how long he continues to respond. I think this won't be days but many weeks, so we should decide how many weeks for the new over/under pool. We also need to set a window for response, say 5 days. Once the squirrel stops responding for a window of 5 days, a winner will be declared. Anyone with suggestions for duration of the new over/under pool should not respond here but by email for obvious reasons. BTW, I had "under" for the 10 day challenge and need another shot..   Hey pony troll! So I had a blast last night. Our table was out, grill was on and family was relaxing. Then I wipped out the tablet and decided to share my little secret. My family was roaring with laughter. I told them this was my little "old lady trolls" in a jar. You guys provide so much entertainment I had to share. Oh and I hope you win in this little pool of yours. Lol. Keep up the good work!

No one is more impress then your lady troll fans. Lets keep this up forever! Awww. Your time is ticking though. :(

The advice you were given in this thread is useful when the subject is Harbor Freight electronics.

(like I would have done).   For some people, as long as it's working they don't care about anything else. ;-(     >If it responds, clean them accordingly.   Yeah, that would have been my next step, get some switch cleaner / Elecrolube in them. ;-)   >The good news is that a stereo amp with one weird channel out of two identical channels is one of the easier things to troubleshoot in the consumer electronics world.   Yeah, and this one looked pretty simple. ;-(   At least I've now got myself a simple PC scope:   https://www.hantek.eu/dso-6022be.html   ... and have found it's also supported under Linux:   https://github.com/OpenHantek/openhantek   ... and found a mod that upgrades it to be AC coupling:   https://github.com/OpenHantek/OpenHantek6022/blob/master/docs/HANTEK6022_AC_Modification.pdf   The only thing I haven't worked out is if the default is DC after the mod is applied as I don't think the factory software had the soft switch and the Windows version of OpenHantek doesn't work on W10 on the same PC when running Linux Mint (video errors, can't form the actual scope screen display).   Cheers, T i m

Use "average consumer" instead. Good work though.

UL doesn't care if it is user accessible or buried under a pile of wires.

At least that how all the fables, parables, anecdotes, and internet explanations are commonly inscribed.   >I am prepared for the best and worst.   Are you prepared to pay for the best? (The worst you already have in the form of an SMT fuse). For a little more $$$, the manufacturer might supply a PPTC resettable fuse: <https://www.littelfuse.com/products/polyswitch-resettable-ptcs.aspx> Nothing to replace when it blows. Just give it time to cool down.   Or, the manufacturer could add an SMD size fuse holder: <https://www.littelfuse.com/~/media/electronics/datasheets/fuses/littelfuse_fuse_154_154t_154l_154tl_datasheet.pdf.pdf> <https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/fuses/139?s=N4IgjCBcoLQCxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAPZQDa4ArAEwDMAHCALqEAOALlCCAL69A> However, these are NOT cheap and will not work with a 1206 size fuse.   Or, the manufacturer could switch to a much larger cartridge fuse, which offer a PCB mount fuse holder.   >Thank you very much in advance.   Y'er welcome.   Incidentally, I'm more irritated with non-resettable thermal fuses used on tranformers and kitchen appliances. These fuses are usually buried under a layer of difficult to remove Kapton tape.     -- 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
