Stuff starting to turn up for the next batch of PSU builds...



Also bulk purchased a lot of PLCC44 3M sockets which will go in my store eventually.

Can'ya tell what it is yet...

Isn't this typical.. It looks like whatever tool was used to tap the block snapped off in the hole, and the other three holes are not tapped at all :roll:

So more delays with this project as I will have to water blocks from somewhere else now :roll:

what thread size? I might have a tap and a broken tap remover?

I've got a tap set here :) So giving it a go.. only the spinny tool is terrible, so now looking for grips :roll: It is really getting ridiculous this is as every one little job generate several other ones all the time :roll:

So 2 hours and re-location of half the shed onto the landing, just to put 8 screws in, sounds about right :roll:

A task worth doing, is a task worth doing right the first time so you don't have to do it again... ;)

My wife's favourite (which she picked up from her father) is "If at first you don't succeed, give up!" :lol:

Yeah, I use that one a lot as well. Or in my case, do Atari stuff for 20+ years, then give up :lol:
