When it comes to this situation half of /diy/ are hoarders the other half throw everything away.
Im guilty about keeping some things Ill probably never use, but then when I throw it away I will need it in 3 months. I once had a piece sitting in a bucket for 10 years, threw it away and then needed it about a week later.

But with this being an anonymous chip I don't think its anything spectacular and I would chuck it.

Hey anon...

I have been doing electronics for quite some time, and have hoarded lots of components..

But during my studies to become an EE, I have come to find that used ICs, semiconductors and electrolytic caps are of low interest, as it tend to deviate much in tolerance, might be damaged partly by use, and from the process of harvesting and resoldering..

Ofcours some components might be worth salvaging..

Stuff I do salvage is mechanical solutions like rare pots, buttons switches, some large caps, heatsinks, some inductors, power resistors (5w or more)
Mechanical varcaps. Fuse holders..

Most semiconductors are rather cheap, or alternative solutions can be constructed..

More than you can afford.

What do you mean? Above, say, 3K $?

>>961045
What's broken exactly

>>961047
This, OP. Can't tell you if it's a cheap fix if we don't know what's wrong with it.

>>961045
assuming the parts are labeled, the only thing you can service in there are the voltage regulators that power the mixers/amps.


either that or the receiver's LNBF power system is what's actually fucked.

>>961044
how cheap?
speakers and buttons.

>>961044
>interesting
no it´s just a radio
>useful
maybe, if you want to recycle some pots and switches

trying to fix it will be more enjoyable than trying to take it apart for some micro switches

Yeah it looks like a pretty okay setup for some dank weed.

Cool. I plan to convert this space into a plant room, going to line the room with tinfoil and insulation, seal it off at the door'floor etc, the door will have a fresh air intake vent, struggling for out-vent ideas as the room is in the middle of my house with obvious way to vent out the heat, I don't want tubes roping about, gotta be discreet, chilies arn't welcome by me, the people hate chilies what can I say.

>>960993
Don't use tinfoil it'll create Hotspot on your chillis. Use flat white paint or actually growing fabric.

Thats sweet! I don't know what to rate it without a scale of skill involved, but seems great to me! Have been curious about wood carving. What type of carving tools do you use?

>>960983
Its from my dad, he uses two cherries tools

It's clearly a fish, sticking it's tongue out, with wings, and it's penis has a bone piercing of some sort. .

Looks like a shitty ring that shitty sports teams gives their players. Probably some shitty college or high school.

Someone's diy ravenclaw ring? especially with that lightning bolt.

I don't know about how to do a tile job but I can tell you that the board the shower head is tired to is not secured. Fix that before you close everything up.

>>960872
Go to BIGBOX home store
buy:
>1/2" concrete tile backer board
>CBU screws
>1 small pail of RedGuard memebrane
>latex-modified powder thinset tile mortar (you'll mix with water)
>unsanded grout of your choice
>tiles
>silicone sealant for where the tile meets the tub and the joining wall
>sealant (like Miracle 511 Impregnator)
>1 notched tile trowel
>1 grout float
>1 mixing paddle for a power drill
You'll need a corded drill to mix the mortar and grout.

About $200 in materials, maybe a little less depending on tile.

Rent a tile snap-cutter and a tile nipper for around the pipes

>cbu goes on wall with cbu screws
>redgaurd that to prevent water leaks
>wait
>trowel on thinset mortar
>stink on tiles
>wait
>grout
>wait
>sealant
>wait
>silicone edge where tile meets tub and opposing wall
>wait
Now use shower.

you need to bust out the sheetrock on the other side too, it's moldy and fucked.

quick fix so you can shower until you get all the materials in:
silicone a plastic sheet (something like tyvek) to the studs, tiles and bath; poke holes in it for the taps and shower head. you can peel it all off easy when it's time to do the job properly.

Bump.

Hey Frank, funny to see you here

That's meant to go into a doorway you retard.


If you want a pull up bar in the ceiling make your own

I live in a very old house and none of the doorways are the right size so I can't just use it in a doorway.

The truth is you won't find good or reliable tools for small change.

Buy second hand but you're either gonna find cheap tools or good tools.

Estate sales are a good resource if you aren't bidding against a bunch of other assholes. Rural (I.e. Farming) estates seem to have a larger variety up for grabs.

The majority of stuff in that price range is all coming out the sane hung low Charlie factory, re-branded with a few minor changes here and there; you're not going to really benefit from one or the other any more than you would buying a belt sander and clamping it upside down to your work bench.


You might also be better off with a strip sander rather than a wide flat bed belt sander for handle shaping.

>You might also be better off with a strip sander rather than a wide flat bed belt sander for handle shaping.

That is one other question I had. Generally what is the purpose of one vs the other? The strip sander I'm looking at is the Grizzly 1x30

>>960719
A flat belt is simply that, flat. If you want to sand long flat surfaces or joints you would use that.

Vertical discs help when forming outer radius curves and beveled edges.

Strip Sanders are very much like bobbin Sanders in theory but only allow work on an open edge. They will match the curvature of your cut easier and you can use flat or curved belt supports to help you sand your work piece.

Example, if you want to sand a flat top of a knife handle with a beveled edge on both sides the disc on the strip sander would come into play.

To sand in the curves on the grip and beveled edges you'd use the strip.

This isn't /r/.

Here you go buddy!

esr is just a characteristic of capacitors, so the number by itself tells you nothing unless you have documented ratings (or brand new caps) to compare with. typically neither is available to you, unless you bought the caps yourself from a reputable supplier.

as for testing ESR, there are youtube videos showing how to do it with a scope and function generator, if you have those.

There are /diy arduino RLC checkers I think you'll be able to find one for yourself easily..

You might have better luck over on
>>>/po/
You know, Papercraft and Origami. Hell, someone over there might even have the Pepakura files already.
sage because wrong board. Almost /diy/ but not quite. I sincerely believe you'll enjoy your visit to /po/. So many activities!

These masks are known as plague doctor masks and everybody knows how to make em. There are quintillions of pepakura files for all of them. Please do a google search the next time you want to shit up the board

>>960535
Why are you bullying him? This is pretty much a DIY topic. He didn't ask specifically for paper patterns. Heck, he maybe wanting to make it out of welded steel plates, dude. Of course not but chillax

Anyhow I'd recommend looking at weird japanese pepakura website with onboard google translate function of google chrome. They put really esoteric shit so you might be able to find random masks, plus, it would be extremely easy to model >>960522 this mask

I had a copy of a locked pepakura design for a standard game model plague doctor but I don't know where it is, the forum I nicked it off from is probably still up
