Re: Mochamaster Coffee Maker
I can remember when all my relatives had a stove top percolator. Then one by one they all went high tech with an electric percolator that sat on the countertop. Boy, those were swell days.....

Re: Strange tweeter issue after recap crossover for Monitor 7 series 2
I like to use a tip tinner. Mine's from Radio Shack (LOL) which you aren't likely to find. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Tinner-Soldering-Cleaning-Supplied-Wonderway/dp/B0DGPP78NY/ref=sr_1_2_sspa
I didn't read this whole thing but here's some advice on soldering
https://www.aaroncake.net/electronics/solder.htm
If you are going to try to remove the old solder I would still apply paste flux to it to get it to melt easier and flow out. It is very oxidized at this point.
If I was a beginning solderer I wouldn't attempt to do it without flux no matter what the marketing blurb for the solder says.

Re: You know you’re getting old when…
I also took 2 years of typing in high school 71 and 72. Never used the skill again till the mid 90's when I brought my first Gateway puter home. To my amazement it all came right back after a 25 year hiatus and I could still do "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" without looking at the keys. Nowadays rarely a day goes by where I'm not using that very useful skill.

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
Please show me where I've whined about anything political...
That would be difficult, as you typically wade-in with the intention of getting the thread deleted, and unfortunately you are usually successful.
However, you’ll note that even though you posted an overtly political meme, I didn’t “report” or “flag” it, because I don’t really care about the post. What I find annoying is your hypocrisy…

Re: New TV recommendations
Hey Don, some of the Hisense and TCL's have gotten high marks.
I'm a big Sony fan myself you could probably pick up a lower model for the upper part of that budget.
On the other hand Vizio has been good with the exception that their remotes have sucked in the past.

Re: New TV recommendations
Sony Bravia 7 for mini-LED or Sony Bravia 8 for OLED. On sale because they're 2024 models. For best picture quality I prefer OLED but for everyday use I'd go with mini-LED.

Re: Can I fix a mark Levinson 33 Monoblock thread
In circuits that are not in the signal path, extra capacitance is rarely a problem. In those cases, the anti-cappers are right, as long as the opposite channel (if it is split) has a similar value.
