@LinuxAndYarn @GossiTheDog I've to applaud #WSJ for showing how much #Apple is shafting #consumers with overpriced #parts, because even if the #battery had only 10% tariff there's no reason for a #replacement part to cost more than $50.

In the backyard of the “Amsterdam Museum” (formerly known as “Hermitage”) you can find some ‘metal beasts’, made by artist “Junk-Art”. 🐀 ⚙️⛓️

The sculptures are handmade, sustainable, and the material they use is steel. It’s including sources such as bolts, gears, all sorts of motor parts, horseshoes and metal scraps. ♻️

This period was a nightmare for technical persons building computers. At that point in time I was building computers with a frequency of about 6 to 12 per day. The operating systems were put in afterwards.

Imagine the following nightmare scenario; at the certain point in time within the period of guarantee client calls with the message that the computer just stops working. The client has done everything that's needed to protect it; UPS, grounded outlets, ground resistance between .5 ohms and 1.2 ohms
Good UPS APC were good ones at that point in time.

Computers come in and after a while it's easy to see what happened because all the Elco's were dead, all of them!

Anyone need some split core current transformers?

Up until about five years ago, I worked for an energy metering company. They did a warehouse cleanup and got rid of tons of material, including hundreds of CTs for AC current measurement. I snagged all of those (and used some for my own home metering) but I still have probably 200 floating around.

I've got split cores rated for 50A up to 6000A or so, and physical sizes from about 1/2" ID to 8" ID (the larger ones are flexible rope style). Mostly rated for 0-333mV AC output but there may be some oddballs in there (like 0-500mV, maybe a couple 4-20mA).

I need to clear up some space, so I was thinking $20 plus shipping per CT, maybe with a bulk discount if you get five or more? Some of these retail for $100+ so if I have something you need it could be a good deal! Most of these are lightly used in a testing environment.

A large dining room table loaded with current transformers in a wide range of sizes and current ratings. With the long wire leads attached to each current transformer, it looks almost like some sort of mechanical spaghetti spilled all over the table.

Also found this thing. Not sure what it is! Presumably another T-40 tractor part. It has three pipes, a control arm that turns about 120 degree with a hole for fitting a lever. There's some Russian label that's partially rubbed off. Wife said something about a motor but she's not sure.

Don't know what the square fitting on the end is, just noticed that in the picture. Maybe an input shaft, which would make it a pump? But too light for a pump and too big for a valve 🤷

A device, resting on a two sawhorses along with a dirty old handbag. It has three pipes (that long thing is not a shaft) of about 25mm outer diameter. Two are angled in opposite directions, the third goes straight out of the center and off screen into a broken flange. That one has a threade dfitting on the body. The body is held together by threaded rods. There's a control arm coming out of the bottom of it, like on a ball valve.
A type label in cyrillic. It's partially rubbed off and grimy.
