You could purchase one of the many DNA Tests for dogs. Although pricey, just like humans, it’s useful information for medical personal in identifying possible genetic health issues.

Agreed...I stopped using sleeve fans every since most of the early computer fans started producing the rattle of doom in short order. Sleeve bearings tolerate very little blade imbalance due to dust or debris and need to lubed more often. I have a 20 plus year old household ball bearings box...

Thanks for sharing Claude! That’s one of the few Cybernet board schematics that I didn’t have.

I noticed that CB tricks have scans of the factory manual, but I thought that the Sam’s version would help complement that archive. I once owned the Tram 60 when they first hit the market. Even though I received my dealer’s discount, I remember how it affected my budget for month’s afterwards...

The original 23ch Cobra 29A is still alive and well because of quality parts and good workmanship. Part of that longevity is also credited to the far lower amount of hacks preformed back then. The occasional crystal swapping for extra channels was about the only mod done. The prolific number...

That's called fighting inflation with your Costco GoldStar Membership....

My family hates sardines too. I eat them at least twice a week, Usually with lettuce and real mayo on toast. Although I like them all the way from the pungent to the very mild, “King Oscar Wild Caught” sardines in olive oil is my favorite. They don’t have that strong flavor and strong smell...

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all of your renditions Greg. I especially love your lower range in Over the Rainbow plus a few others that has a similar tonal quality to Willie Nelson.

Meh… All you will need is two Christmas tree style air fresheners. Hang one in the back that smells like burnt rubber, and hang the other one in the front that smells like a mixture of nitro and gasoline.

The late great Buddy Rich. I ran across Buddy Rich, one of the greatest jazz drummers of the past and present IMO. My dad loved the Big Bands. Consequently he acquired many cassettes, Guy Lombardo, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, etc . I wax nostalgic about them dancing as I have been...

I prefer Deoxit Fader Spray for most pots and occasionally Deoxit Fader Grease for those old AM transistor radio volume controls. Note: The Deoxit spray cans come in two types, old school straw applicator, and the new flip-up applicator style. IMO I originally thought the new flip-up type...

It’s one of the many different brands that used the Pll 02A Cybernet boards. They’re reliable, easy to service and modify for extra channels.

The enhanced version with the capacitor value included for your archive.

I’m a huge fan of Tiny Desk Concerts. That's where I discovered them a few years ago. If you like something new with surprises. They’re always supporting upcoming talented artists as well as many older bands that are not yet in the mainstream.

Paul Janeway was once a preacher and bank teller in Alabama. His seven-piece band from Birmingham has been playing since 2012, and is still selling tickets. The Broken Bones' music has heart and soul and flair. A voice like Ottis Redding, CeeLo Green, and I hear a bit of Ed Sheeran in some of...

I started recapping and servicing all the old boom boxes, plus small AM/FM transistor radios that were rescued from my relations years ago. It’s been fun studying all the different obsolete, but still replaceable audio chips that they used in many of them. Fortunately I found enough telescopic...

Years ago both our local police and the state police that covered our area had CB’s installed in their vehicles and bases, but CB was never used in dispatch or in any official capacity. I helped install a share amount of those CB’s. We even had a state police officer that used a CB walkie as...

I love the Type-C connection. I only wish more products would use it.

I learned in my early childhood how to handle such situations.
