kind of a chaotic energy going on here

neat gauges that you might expect to find in a power plant

Tube❄️Time replied to Tube❄️Time

a Heathkit calculator with a Panaplex display

@tubetime had to read it three times because I really got stuck at thinking like what the hell is a “heaLthkit” calculator 😆

Tube❄️Time replied to Tube❄️Time

this card comes apart in two halves. very odd

Ozzelot :anarchy: :linux: replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime I heard you like cards, so I put a card on your card so you can card while you card

Tube❄️Time replied to Tube❄️Time

wonder what these boards were from

Tube❄️Time replied to Tube❄️Time

some sort of early Apple chip kit.

this toaster gets along with bread like a house on fire

caution: radiation from polonium is dangerous if the said material is ingested or inhaled. do not

Tube❄️Time replied to Tube❄️Time

the existence of this gauge makes me uneasy

Stefan Reinauer replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime Might come in handy in the next decades! Just keep it generally below 2.

Tube❄️Time replied to Tube❄️Time

extra long life battery. put in service before Feb 1943. think it's still good?

sadmac356 replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime …y'know what, I've been surprised before, it might actually have some charge still. I would still replace it if possible though

@tubetime
I found a nice old Beckman DVM in a junque shop. Unfortunately, the 9V battery terminal had corroded away and I had to tack in a new one…

A red Eveready general purpose 9V battery with the 9 Lives electro-kitty logo, lots of corrosion, and a missing terminal.

@tubetime oh, DANG! A logarithmic current meter?! That’s amazing! I mean, 10k mA is … carry the two… 10A, so not too scary. But the log scale is AMAZING.

@tubetime "Well, either the battery's good or we've got a problem, it's too soon to tell..."

@tubetime My wife and I were discussing the other day that VLB is what truly killed 16-bit computers.

@tubetime Looks like a fiber optic cable splicer

@tubetime all I can see is a turntable, I need one and see them everywhere :blobcatdunno:

@tubetime envious, that’s like a 3 episodes of YouTube videos hour long each !
How much did you pay for it ?

Probertd8 replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime *sniff* Where they'll finally find the actual number for Pi and the square root of -1.

poleguy replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime I think that says "solid material" not "said material". Although I wonder what distinction the word might be trying to make. Is it safe to inhale and eat the dust? Or should we vaporize it first? :-) Yikes.

@tubetime
ooh... we've been using an old flopper for ages. IMO it makes the best toast!

djb_rh replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime Always wonder about the stories behind stuff like this. I mean someone assembled that and likely used the heck out of it. Those things were cheaper than a manufactured one, but still not cheap!

cos replied to Tube❄️Time

@tubetime I also have bunch of such gauges.

Not sure what to do with them, but maybe hook them up to Home Assistant to display some important data.

@tubetime I wonder if there is some award if you can use all those plugs at once

In Re: the 🏳️‍⚧️✨ of Rylie

@tubetime that's an interesting time point. It both has inputs for multiple VCRs, and optical digital audio.

@tubetime I was always fascinated by the backs of AV receivers..
