Re: Nothing In Particular

Know what you mean. My mum was in and out of various facilities, including hospital, ended up in a care home via Whitmore Way, which would be northeast of Basildon town centre.

Re: General health matters.

Sorry about your problems. :( The pie and mash line almost sounds like a joke ... if only ... I have eaten in there tho, but no consequences. I had some bad news this morning, a friend of some years ago, think I first knew him from 1996 - 7 -ish (we first conversed via Usenet - remember that?), he u...

Re: Interesting (non musical) YouTube videos.

Driving a 1945 Willis Jeep around in LA traffic ... no flashers or mirrors ... or much of a brake light, come to that (according to the dashboard, you have to turn a switch for it :shock: )

But also, interesting history.

Ah right yes. Don't know it that well tho, and the area more so when I was a kid. Bet it's changed tho.

Re: Nothing In Particular

Basildon social services have funded 4 weeks recovery for Mum in a care home at Laindon, quite close to Mike H's old stamping ground. They think the move will be tomorrow. (Tuesday). Trying to think where there's a care home in Laindon. Did a Google ..... there's several! :shock: Have you got a nam...

Re: OK…so I’m on wi’ summat

Too late now but I was going to suggest RS do some nice can electrolytics that might have filled those holes, smallest value 150uF tho (500V).

Re: Fg810 - A Working Title

Just to mention - Fg810 is running fine, it's on all day every day, if not streaming music then audio for videos and DVD's. Ditto the Kubelic DAC is cosntantly on for music. I have been repeatedly running a big iTunes shuffle playlist (about 2.5 days' worth, so far :D ), heard it all before natch, s...

Re: Free schematic/board tools...

If it helps - still using FreePCB - can import netlist from LTspice (with a bit of editing of the netlist file). Latest version(s) Gerber files are compatible with JLC PCB (a nice discovery).

Re: PSE EL84 Amplifier
