Original data sheets usually designate such pins as " I c" (= internal connection), which means it may or may not be attached to anything, but should not be regarded as floating and not available for tag-strip use.

Who decrees which company's vaccine you get?

VLC Media Player

John Waters' "Pink Flamingoes". It's been on my list to watch since VHS was the only format, finally I watched it this week. Intersting, although the general degeneration of TV makes it completely unshocking compared to typical modern material. But 1970s audiences were understandably appalled.

This is as modern as I get - or desire to get:

Vacuum cleaner that has a 'blow' option.

No. Has never had any scientific or engineering backing whatsoever.

This strongly suggests both your records are in poor condition and your cassette recorder is faulty.

Strictly speaking a mono signal would produce only vertical modulation of the groove. However the record industry adopted a convention of inverting the phase of one channel so that mono does indeed become horizontal motion/modulation only, because this is far easier for the stylus to track than...

Not pretty and possibly a little impractical, but electrically you won't easily do better than this:

Dis 'n ware varkpiel !

The formal specification is 230V +/- 10%, so any voltage from 207 Vrms to 253 Vrms is "normal" and not a fault condition. You shouldn't expect it to be 230 or 240. You are also not allowed in the distribution board unless you have the appropriate license - abilities and education mean nothing...

Other than occasional internet (which I've had from home since 1986, so I'm not entirely luddite) I use not one of the items in that list.

I think you're a bit premature. "The machine stops" is more a short story than a book, but a very good read, beautiful language too - which you don't find so often in recent publications.

As Dacman said, the playback light is 760nm, just on the near infrared/visible wavelength boundary. The visible colour of the plastic can be very different to its infrared transparency. They can make the disc look almost any colour they want without affecting functionality. I have discs of...

Serendipitously, we have just acquired (a gift from a kind collector) the high-end turntable that paired with the AG9015 or 9018 amplifier. The tt is 12kg, not flimsy like its successors.

Of course! Typing faster than I was thinking: that is what happens when you reverse the polarity of the cap - and the degeneration of the oxide causes it to go short circuit.

Aluminium electrolytic capacitors do not contain oil. The dielectric is a microscopically thin film of aluminium oxide grown onto the aluminium foil during manufacture by an electrolytic reaction induced by the application of a polarising voltage. The exact electrolyte composition is a highly...

The light and the audio signal path through the pot have nothing to do with each other. The intermittent light suggests a bad connection to the section with the pot in it - perhaps dry solder joints or a crack on a pcb. Putting contact cleaner in the pot will not fix that. Contact cleaner...

Strange that some people think this is a new idea. Philips had the Mignon car record player in the late 1950s - early 60s, and Technics promoted their SL10 for use in cars in the early 80s.
