TM, about every six months Tom and I would pm about health and stuff, it is very concerning when he didn't respond the last time I pm'd him.

Re: Different kind of CNC

It's a cool idea, we'll see if it takes off. $2099 makes for an expensive router, although some arts n crafts guys might be able to make a buck with it...

Re: Jim kelly single channel layout ?

Tony, KOC in TUT5 called out a Hammond 273BX (201 ma) in his Kelly chapter if that helps.

Re: Hammond 270EX PT 6.3v wiring center tap?

10th, I just looked at a 270HX that I've had for awhile, which should be the same series. It does have the 6.3v ct. Interesting.

Re: Log out!

Sad situation. Best forum I've had the privilege of being part of. Most of us will be here until the lights go out. I haven't given up hope. That is a lot of our sentiments, Bob. I don't understand, as you well know, there has been offers to assist both technically and financially which seem to fal...

I did have one little snafu - I broke a 1K resistor (R29) when piggy backing a small cap with it. Grabbed another from my pedal parts and away I went. All testing wen...

Re: uTracer (Micro Curve Tracer)

Hi Martin, Yes, I love the magic eye tubes, they are very cool. I also like nixie tubes that unfortunately have no audio value... Any suggested mods right off the bat would be appreciated like an external heater supply switch etc. I think for the time being I'll only wire an octal and two 9 pin sock...
