I hope we're ALL not discontinued like Audio Tape....my old band's trip to the recording studio is still on 7.5" reels our ex-sound guy keeps for his Tandberg deck....which he says is ailing....and can't find anyone to fix it!! There's nothing richer than audio tape; I hope Quantegy can pull...

I REMEMBER this issue! True story; I spent my one day of freedom on a one-day base pass from Air Guard Basic Training at Lackland AFB looking for SWTPC in San Antonio; (where they were based) never did find it! Had a great day riding around on the bus though....back in 1972. They had some...

is that solid core cat5e wire? I made some almost exactly like that (in fact exactly like that, except with blue flexo and heatshrink on top) and the wires snapped after a few months.

The CMOY circuit(s) I have seen courtesy of my son are pretty tolerant of variations in supply voltage within a range. You shouldn't agonize over a 9v versus 10v system --DC is DC from a supply standpoint, and 1v just won't matter in a hundred years. However, a stacked (18v) system if set up...
