Re: Advice Needed
It sounds like the standoff nuts for the video port got loose and probably fell out, or came out with the cable at some point. I've had that happen more times than I can count. I usually steal the standoff nuts from an unused serial port and replace the lost ones with those.

Re: Flint & Tri-Cities - random radio observations
I live in Flint township. With an outdoor UHF corner reflector at about rooftop level, I can get get WUPS in stereo, but it has to be tweaked "just-so" to null out splatter from 98.7 in Detroit. 103.9 is about the only station wifey will listen to. She likes winning the contests. Frankly, I'd ...

Re: 4 Channel, Quadraphonic Sound
I know there were some experiments using C-QuAM to pass Quad audio way back when, and it evidently worked.

Re: Woody Nelson
I was just thinking about this turd a couple weeks ago. Apparently, he was still running scams bilking Trump supporters out of their money. That was in the past few years.
Mr. Blood certainly has a deck missing several face cards!

Re: "We cannot play two females back-to-back"
Corporate anything is based on quarters... making that next quarterly report black is all that matters. What doing that might affect beyond is no longer concerning. Quarter Hours, that makes sense, and it's why you hear the same shitty songs six times a day on every format. Today's country is a joke ...

Re: Trials of restoring Heathkit DX-35
UPDATE on DX-35 At this point, there is something in this unit which just isn't right. Something changes after it's making moderate power (45watts in CW) into dummy load a few minutes, front panel meter pins and the fuse opens. I am tempted at this point to strip this thing down and make a simple ...

Re: Trials of restoring Heathkit DX-35
If I recall, it was having some problems with the plate transformer, it was up on woodblocks to isolate it from the cabinet because it has shorted internally. It would do low power but not high. I hope I have that right, it was like 1979. Edit to add: I would guess, if the engineer wasn't Jim ...

Re: So, where's the recession?
For most of the working class, the recession of 2008 has never ended. The economy is bad still for the "common folk". Only the higher classes are doing well. However, since the working stiffs and especially the poor are nothing more than expendable wallets, it really doesn't matter anyways.

Re: Brawl Mart
I hate Wal*mart. I don't go in there unless wifey has won a gift card. I've always marveled at 38 checkouts, and only 3 are open, no matter what season it is.

Re: Favorite Ad One-Liners
I've fallen, and I can't get up! I finally, after years of searching, found a bad copy of the stupid song someone made from this in the late 80's. Would love to find a batter copy. "We-we-we're sending help, we-we-we're sending help, we're sending, we're sending, we're sending help immediately, Mrs ...
