Post Bag 24: Mistaken Identity

[@MiggyManMike]

One thing to be aware of with those helping hands it that they aren't grounded (those loc-lines are actually meant for delivering coolant in machining) so you may want to run a cable up through the loc-lines (possibly replace the nozzle on the end with a banana socket/plug for croc clips)

[@DavidWatts]

I'll have a nosey at the weekend.

[@UnexpectedMaker]

I'm so glad I you are going to do that word game project! And YES! WOTW - Jeff Waynes! Ooooooooaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

[@jerril42]

Thanks David. Loads of cool stuff. I enjoyed the peek into your music collection. I've had almost everything you featured in a couple of formats. Take care .

[@daviddevillers6790]

love your enthusiasm! thanks for the video!

[@TheDefpom]

Wow @4:35 that is just a few weeks older than me.

[@rawgames3564]

So many cool things! Awesome to see another video! It's been too long. 😃 Jealous of those PCB rulers, I'd love one of them.

[@maicod]

nooo Nathaniel no there must be more than this..... The musical is awesome too. I remember a childhood friend playing WOTW on his dads reel-to-reel in the early 80s. It was kinda scary for a kid like me.

[@andymouse]

When you switched that on my room lights dimmed ! Tech Ingredients did a series on them (speakers) and they scored highly, I wonder if PCB Way sell the rulers because I would find the ' at a glance ' sizes and packages quite useful, but I use JLCPCB and have always had great results, so no way of getting one.....nice mailbag cheers.

@@DavidWatts Will do !....It will be very handy as I go blank thinking of different sizes of components and other bits and bob's...cheers !

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

I have a pair of very large and heavy Leaks's which I currently used as a table. they must be late 60's or early 70's speakers. must see if I can find the model number.

[@Slozkins]

Enjoyed, excellent video as always.

[@pgScorpio]

"These audio exciters are realy exciting".... Isn't that what they are made for ?? Hint, don't place them in the centre of the doors ! For the best sound make sure all distances from center of exciter to center of sides and corners (so 8 distances) are different and not multiples of each other.

[@DavidWatts]

Yeah, I realised during editing that I could have phrased that a little more eloquently 😂

[@alexstone691]

I would love to have one of those rulers, I just started fiddling with electronics and pcbs, their shipping is sadly too expensive (20 euroes)

[@DavidWatts]

Where do you live Alex? I am sure I can send you a ruler if it isn;t the other side of the world, there is one left. Grab my email address from one of the links in the comments and send me your address.

Hi i have just emailed you now David

♫ Everybody knows, Badger loves... MASHED POTATO ♫ Sadly, Andy Cunningam "Bodger" passed away in 2017. I used to enjoy the show when I was around 10 or 11 lol.

[@DavidWatts]

Ha ha, it was class show.

[@Neffers_UK]

@@DavidWatts It was so easy going too, compared to the frantic stuff kids get fed these days. Andy's wife played "Mousey" in the series, and in fact the whole thing came about by the books he'd written prior.

[@douro20]

I wonder what PCBway will do in 2024?

[@DavidWatts]

I don't imagine they will send me whatever it is now ;-)

[@AlexWalpole]

Also have a copy of war of the worlds, Vinyl is the only way to listen to it...

[@AJB2K3]

Only 1? There are 3 different Versions :P

@@AlexWalpole If you didn't know, The current version (of the classic) has two more tracks (martian speech and nasa radio link) and the 3rd version is the next generation.

Hi, David oops PCB Way A Please can I have the red one, good luck with the speakers they look nice I cant wait for the 14 segment display project that will be very cool where did you get them? Bob, in the UK

[@DavidWatts]

Drop me your postal address and I will see what I can do, red may already be taken kzbin.infoabout

[@DavidWatts]

There should be a link in the description for the displays, they were quite cheap from Ebay

[@RobertShippey]

"A pen that I'll never use" 😆

[@MiggyManMike]

A set of leaks, nice, quality speakers :) I watched this with a set of 2030's providing the sound :)

[@DavidWatts]

They sound fantastic, but I have never been able to turn them up to much. Terraced house 'n all.

[@circadianrebel]

Where did you find the 14 segment display modules? Also, PCBWay is far more reliable and less shady than JLC. JLC tried to scam me; will never use them.

[@DavidWatts]

Sorry, forgot to add it in the description. Should be there now. I have used both and haven't had a problem, noted though thank you.

[@sjm4306]

How'd they try to scam you, it'd be helpful for others to generally know what to watch out for?

[@circadianrebel]

@@sjm4306 I don't feel like rehashing all the details, but in short, back when they were running their cheap first-pcb promotion I tried to place an order for several designs (one at promotion price, four at normal price). Initially they weren't honoring the promotional price, then after that was fixed they contacted me and said "our engineers have analyzed your design and determined it requires ENIG to function properly" and tried charge me an additional $45... It didn't. It was an OSHW design that several people had ordered from various places, including at least one from JLC, so fairly well confirmed there was no issue with it. They also went back to refusing to honor their advertised price (saying "just pay us full price now and we'll give you discount later") and were refusing to make any of my designs unless I paid for ENIG on the one.

[@tablatronix]

hah your assembly stickers are still on your shelves..
