>There's a bunch of "vintage" store to make every kind of tube amp, where my 70s semi-conductor electronics are?!?!?
I'm not sure exactly sure if I'm understanding what you are asking, but you shouldn't buy vintage transistors, since there are a lot of knock offs floating around the web. People find cheap transistors and remove all the markings on them and replace them with product codes and makes of desirable brands. It seems weird, but it is done to rip off audiophiles who "need" that exact vintage transistor.

Your best bet is to use google and find a modern equivalent of the transistor that you are looking for from a reliable source like mouser or digikey or whatever is the equivalent from where you are from, since there are knock offs of more expensive modern transistors as well.

Maybe I've been a little vague on this point. I heard about these crooks methods to get the "new old stock" germanium transistor to put in your fuzz pedal...
I'm not planing on making a transistor amp with vintage part. Just like the tube amps I made (pic related) I want to follow a vintage schematic/PCB, with brand new components. I was hoping to find equivalent semi-conductor part quite easily, but it's not the case. Just like I don't find a "reference" schematic for a simple 100W amp.
For instance for a tube amp, I may go for a bassman-like circuit.

Cammo dude, and picking the proper location. Basic tent with proper cammo is dang near impossible to spot if you are reasonably away from high traffic areas/trails.
For structure look into spring poles like in the popup-folding tents, new replacement poles are fairly cheap and you could salvage them from a beat up tent.
All the snek wants to do is get warm and cuddle.

and, you couldn't use the existing 'Im a fucking RETARD! So, I gotta job in Home Depot! AMA!!!' thread (which is a Lowes thread this week, but still full of HD cunts, vive la difference) to ask this banal, mundane and of interest to fucking no-one bollocks in, no?

Anyone WITH HALF A FUCKING GLIMPSE OF INTELLIGENCE might have, y'know, ASKED THEIR FUCKING CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY ARE USING IT FOR - but, then again, you proably even look such a retarded fucking gimp, they keep you chained up in the back and avoid eye contact, just in case you find out their address and try and sneak home with them. Go get run over collecting trolleys you useless fuck, and never darken the door of /diy/ again, FFS.

you'd think they'd maybe notice, after the first one or two - step back, listen to that inner mumer saying, 'nope, this is shit..' Not a bit of it, carry on regardless, to the death.

Oh it's possibly a reaction with steel wool if you used it at the end of your first sanding process. Also, planer (they's expensive) or a wood scraper? I have no experience with the tools, but keep in mind if you've been sanding that the abrasive materials get on the wood so you don't want to rework with tools what you've been sanding.

>>1187708
Did you use steel wool or an oxide paper?
It looks like spot rusting.

Use bar keepers friend. Make a paste, apply and let sit for a few hours, then remove usibg a synthetic sanding pad .

Repeat till gone.

Steel wool shpuld only be used after you seal to stock.

It sheds fiders bad.

Brass wool or synthetic are the way to go.

>>1183665
Sure. Might consider spraying a pre-emergant for broad leaves and just seeding after tilling though. Less work, just like the lazy trolling you're trying to accomplish with this thread.

>>1183670
I am trying to avoid the use of herbicides. My main concern is does all the dead plant material affect the soil once its all tilled in? I assume the plant matter will all be dead and dry and not composting

>>1183665
>>1183671
It will compost and enrich the soil. I use boiling water to do the same thing.

>DeWalt and Milwaukee on top

sounds right to me. both have a wide range of tools that work off the battery and are comparable in price. it comes down to personal tastes really.

also ib4 HUR DUR BLACK AND DECKER PRO LOLOLOL!

>>1189068

Well I mean the DeWalt kind of BTFO everyone else here. The performance of the Hilti was pretty bad DESU.

>The performance of the Hilti was pretty bad DESU.
so bad, they both picked the Hilti as 'the one drill they would most like to have from the bunch' kind of bad ? 20 fucking year warranty kind of bad ? Significantly cheaper than that POS Milwaukee that never managed to win anything, and only beat Hitachi on a strange 'bonus points' system kind of bad ?

DeWalt won everything hands-down, its the best all-rounder, Emus confirm. Hilti is the most comfortable drill to use, by some distance, if you using a drill all day, every day - and that warranty. Hitachi wasn't far behind the DeWalt, would make a good choice for professional all-round users allergic to bright yellow. DeWalt-Hilti-Hitachi - take your pic, they all the fucking same anyway.

Bump for interest. Nomadic or do you stick to one city?

Hot glue a magnet to an alfa wifi atenna.
keep in mind that the metal siding of your van is going to make it a directional antenna if you stick it on the side.
Protip: Longer antenna cords will dampen your signal
Theif tip: You can take a magnet from a grocery store where they hang all those items on the side of a shelf.

>>1188839
Nomadic.

not easily, no - but you get cassette adapters (mostly designed for cars, maybe a fiddle in a deck with the analog in wire coming back out) - that would work, but, as you'd need to connect the deck to an amp anyway, not sure why you'd bother just connecting your digital media player to the amp directly.

>>1188720
Please get a cassette car adapter, are you trying to record to tape? If so just use the rca jacks on the back that say "rec" or record. If you are trying to use it for the tape saturated distortion sound for a drum machine, use a cassette adapter. Dont detroy the tiny toshiba deck its kinda hard to find those.

>>1188729
device had some space in it so I thought I could fit a rpi in it and a touchscreen in place of the casette player

In my experience, consumer-grade stuff is shit. Overpriced for what you get, and they lack a lot of features.

I'm running a Hikvision system here. Been happy wtih them.

don't do any IP cameras
they're all insecure shit

Pallets are recycled and re used all the time

Plastic is the only obvious choice

Where I live people just throw pallets in the trash if they ever end up slightly broken.

Sad desu.

Now I'm worried about stuff behind the hole I just kicked in my place, built in 1969. Does asbestos ever look like pink fiberglass? Why bother with insulation between a condo's bedroom and living room? There's one thermostat for piped heat, and only one wall air conditioner is allowed, for external uniformity.

From what I understand asbestos was only used around heating ducts in old wall heaters(not my pic) to a ceiling, i don't know if it's in old drywall/insulation, that's why I made this thread. The stuff that I pulled out of the wall was fiberglass/old newspaper from the 40s.
