Hah! You tried before me?


Stroke remember? I dont remember posting that 6 yrs ago. When I found
it..I was amused. I got over any surprise years ago.


Btw...it was..was working according to this post. As I recall..and the
post confirms..the sawtooth waveform had a half round side..probably a
bad cap..


I think I did see that at one point, but it was a spurious spurt
against the norm of zero output.



I bought a lot of gear the 2 yrs before the stroke. Id done a project
where I made a fair amount of money and I stocked up on arms, ammo,
reloading equipment and electronic gear along with tools and work
related stuff.


Well, at least you didn't pay for it and forget to pick it up after
the stroke. That would have been excruciating if someone else
remembered it and you didn't.


I found a surplus shop down in LA area that was
selling test equipment for pennies on the dollar on Ebay. Wish I
could remember where they were though. Id go by and see if they are
still around. I bought a lot of gear in there for myself and friends.
Owned by ornimentals..Vietnamese IRRC..right next to a wholsale
butcher who gave me GREAT prices on hot sausages, in a little
industrial "strip mall". Cannot remember where it was though I have
bit and pieces of the trip(s) I made. Shrug


Ornimentals? chuckle


Fortunately I have a good sense of humor about myself..else Id have
been devistated about how much I lost (languages) and how much Ive
forgotten. **** happens and if one lets it eat at him...there wont be
much left after too long. Shrug

(Grin)
