19:43 rue_mohr zhanx, hi rock
19:43 zhanx i scored a 52" tv tonight for 50 bucks
19:44 zhanx it was "broken"
19:44 zhanx took me less than 30 minutes to fix it
19:44 zhanx almost feel bad since its an internet enabled tv
19:46 rue_mohr :) transistor in backlight inverter or power supply cap?
19:46 zhanx cap
19:46 zhanx 47uf
19:47 rue_mohr cool!
19:48 rue_mohr 160V? 250?
19:50 zhanx 160v which i actually had on hand
19:51 zhanx but now i have a unique problem, i have 2 working 52" tv's
19:52 Tom_itx ebay
19:52 Tom_itx or craigslist
19:52 rue_mohr zhanx, I'll testift for picture & picture, its great
19:52 rue_mohr zhanx, I'll testify for picture & picture, its great
19:53 zhanx lol
19:58 rue_mohr I have dual 27 crt
20:03 zhanx this thing has a ton of screw to reassemble it
20:07 zhanx duel 52" would be insane
20:08 rue_mohr no, 5 is insane
20:08 rue_mohr who in their right mind would have 5 THERE IS NO PROPER WAY TO ARRANGE THEM , at 4 you have to get two and go straight to 6
20:09 zhanx total vision filled by monitors?
20:10 rue_mohr dont be silly, a typical room is atleast 120x120
20:11 rue_mohr so I'd like you to give me a hand building the gyro cage for controlling my mecha, but I'm determined to make sure it dosn't get into the hands of the military...
20:12 e_mohr thinks about how to solder a 0102 capac
20:13 rue_mohr a) damn dont sneeze
20:13 rue_mohr b) maybe cut a trace and install it over that
20:13 rue_mohr c) pretin the trace
20:14 Tom_itx you sneeze and you'll loose your whole order
20:14 rue_mohr not quite, I have soic chips and some 1206 resistors
20:15 Tom_itx the tin on the trace will be more than enough to solder them
20:15 rue_mohr yea
20:15 rue_mohr I knew I should have made a really really tiny robot arm with a microscope overit
20:16 zhanx https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_HkqDawFKcY/TzMqSQUIqrI/AAAAAAAADSQ/1H5iOk9jSrw/s800/IMAG0703.jpg
20:17 rue_mohr zhanx, oh no, are they different models?
20:17 zhanx sony vs samsung
20:17 rue_mohr so you can use a universal to operate them both, one as 'tv' and the other as 'vcr'
20:17 zhanx yep
20:17 rue_mohr there ya go then, picture and picture
20:17 zhanx but you see to big to be monitors
20:18 zhanx unless i am like a 100 feet off
20:18 rue_mohr tv != monitor, awefull resolution
20:18 rue_mohr the resolution on a tv is actually worse than a widescreen monitor
20:19 zhanx umm these not so much
20:19 zhanx the one on the right i run as a htpc
20:19 zhanx great res
20:22 rue_mohr 10k variable resistor
20:22 rue_mohr hmm
20:22 rue_mohr or start with...
20:23 rue_mohr 1k resistor is 1206
