Gamma Posts: 5592 Incept: 2008-01-20 Northern CA	I got about 30 6L6's out of the garage, 20 NOS, nothing more exotic. About 8 were metal, which are seriously "underpowerable" as their voltage ratings are profoundly lower than 6L6GB or GC. The Sylvania 6L6GA's are still not happy with GB/GC volts on them. I actually built a tube-matcher to compare output tubes and was able to get some matched pairs out of them, but was only able to group about a quarter into pairs within 2ma plate current which is my standard for a "matched pair". Some of the "unmatched" tubes are astoundingly all over the place; under identical conditions, I have found tubes that passed 25 ma and 45 ma! Same type, same Sylvania 6L6GA, same freaking DATE CODE! ---------- This stuff we're going through, this is nothing compared to the Middle Ages.

Jotapay Posts: 16733 Incept: 2008-08-26 Austin, Tx	I posted that really late last night from my phone. Eagle Industries makes some of the best tactical body hangers and bags out there. It's not American Made; I think it's made in Vietnam, but it's very high quality stuff. Contractors and those soldiers who buy their own gear do use it in the sand box. It's on clearance right now for about 60-70% off at Natchez, it seems. http://www.natchezss.com/brand.cfm?brand.... By the time I had gotten home, this duffel bag was already sold out which is is what I really wanted: http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?con.... This is really good gear if you need a bag or some holsters. 2011-05-04 21:59:25 Permalink
Jotapay Posts: 16733 Incept: 2008-08-26 Austin, Tx	I was using a notebook (for pen and pencil) that I had found long ago somewhere at Goodwill or a garbage can and remarked how it was so durable: hardback, strong pages, etc. I started thinking I could use a few more and after searching found out they were still being sold. These are excellent quality, hard-backed notebooks that start with "E 64-*" where the asterisks can be anything. http://www.engineersupply.com/elan-publi.... 2011-05-04 22:33:29 Permalink*

Jotapay Posts: 16733 Incept: 2008-08-26 Austin, Tx	Today Woot.com is having a Woot Off. They run consecutive specials on small quantity lots all day at much steeper discounts than normal. Once it's gone, they move onto the next lot so it keeps going all day. I've gotten a couple of 130-lumen CREE LED flashlights with machined aluminum bodies for $5 before, some decent tool sets for $3, stainless steel BPA-free water bottles for $2, etc. They often have something useful that can go in your toolbox or kit for just a couple of dollars. www.woot.com Last modified: 2011-05-10 08:59:28 by jotapay 2011-05-10 08:58:10 Permalink

Jotapay Posts: 16733 Incept: 2008-08-26 Austin, Tx	Here is a Yaesu hand held ham radio for sale in Dallas. "For sale is a Yaesu FT-530 2m/440 Handheld FULL 5 WATT Transceiver " http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/ele/235.... He wants $150. I bet he is flexible on the price now. These handhelds from the 1990s are really tough units with functionality that is not too shabby. Depending on the battery condition and accessories, $100-125 would be a great deal on this. You can receive short distance communications (about 80 miles or less) with this radio and transmit up to 10-15 miles. Great for local communications.

Riceball Posts: 2263 Incept: 2008-03-20 Palo Alto, CA	Binney, don't buy, I just checked with some reviews, this pot is made in China with cheap non-stick surface, not the real Canonsburg stuff. You have to be very careful with All Clad now, I have bought a few items that are hugely marked down, only to discover that they are made in China, and I subsequently sent them back right away.

Jotapay Posts: 16733 Incept: 2008-08-26 Austin, Tx	Today's Woot! is pretty good. They have small sets of Skil hand tools for $4 each. During a Woot Off I got the three on the bottom for $3 each. They are not too shabby, especially for the price. I got the remaining top two sets today. http://www.woot.com/ http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?.... 2011-06-02 16:42:25 Permalink

If you use the coupon code in the image below, it's only $999 I'm almost positive it's a one use coupon.

Jotapay Posts: 16733 Incept: 2008-08-26 Austin, Tx	That is a really good deal. I've still got a 6 year old Samsung 32" LCD that works like new and I can't justify upgrading..... And I just tried that coupon and it DOES work for me..... Edit: I checked the reviews on Amazon and they actually have the same TV for $1100 with free shipping (and possibly no sales tax). They must be closing them out. So it may be cheaper for some to get it from Amazon. That is a nice TV if you don't need a 55 incher.
