    Post Your Workstations 2013

    Nice old Heathkit gear. I wish they were still around... I have the AA-1 audio analyzer and TC-2 tester, but I want something that will more effectively test transconductance and leakage...like a nice Hickok or something...

    Super-simple power LED fade mod

    I wanted to share a simple way of getting the mac-like throbbing LED that works on any computer, all it takes is an electrolytic capacitor and a diode. Place a diode between the motherboard header positive and capacitor positive terminal, with the band towards the capacitor side, then...
