Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
Tom, hitching across America ??
Now that presents an opportunity for some mighty weird visuals.
One of my most memorable experiences was after Colorado was behind me, (hitch hiked from Tacoma Washington State to Northern VA) a trucker picked me up and he asked me if I wanted to drive. It was an 18 wheeler. After grinding some gears and **** up low to high a couple of times, I finally got the hang of it. That cat actually went in back and slept, while I drove his truck for about 4 hours or so. Imagine that....a 16 year old behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler!
I couldn't believe it but a couple of hot girls even picked me up. Some ugly ones too but it kept me going along my journey. I doubt that would ever happen in today's world.

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
Hey Mark - beautiful photos here! got any details on this comet? I was out riding in the country last night and one of the skymap charting apps said there was supposed to be a comet visible, but I couldn't see it. It would have been in the western sky here. Maybe I needed some slow shutter, time lapse or a telescope. I did just barely make out the Milky Way, though. Looking forward to Winter Skies...
Who's this @msg fellow?? Is he new??

Re: Teac 4010SU R2R
This was the most tedious recapping I have ever done. PCB is not marked. Some values in my amplifier are different than those listed in manual. Over 250,000 decks made, not all revision documentation available.
Some caps indicate positive leg while most show negative. I documented capacitor placement with drawings and pictures. I had to dust off my organizational skills.
Used a light to help locate capacitor position.
They left component leads long, like through hole of PCB and point to point. After desoldering, the legs are still stuck together and to PCB. Have to carefully use flux/wick to separate. If you force a stuck lead, you could pull trace off PCB.
Components with single leads, I could use edge of Hakko nozzle to lift off PCB.
All fini.
Good news, no smoke/exploding caps, loud hissing or humming from speakers and it still works! Next up, calibration.

Yes, a local plastics fabricator made it. There are some folks who make some wild reels.

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
The Buell would need fresh brakes and tires before you got a hold of it. Even if it were just a trip to the grocery store.
"Max throttle always, max brakes at the last possible second, peg scraping steep lean. That's all you need to know about riding." @Geoff4rfc, circa sometime
Brakes are highly overrated my friend.....tires??? Thats another story......

Re: Borrow Velodyne remote
Thanks guys I do have a harmony remote and will try that out. I’ll update you guys if it works or not.
I think the remote once to set everything to defaults would be good for now. I got the sub extremely cheap but it didn’t come with the remote or the mic accessories. Even without everything I’m really enjoying the sub so far. I wouldn’t be able to afford it anytime soon if I didn’t get lucky with the deal.
I saw some kits on ebay that I may get one day but they don’t come with the remote.
