What you got today

FX-32:

What are you using as a power source for Accucell?

A cheap one from eBay, I think it’s the same that comes with the IMAX-B6 from DX, but I bought them separately from eBay.

It says 12V 5A output, it could be around 50Watts I think

Works OK for small things, but this charges can charge up to 150W. What do you recommend?

This is a pic of the source:

Maplin do small tubes of silicone grease which will last for ages.

Nowadays I use engine oil from a dropper bottle - easier to get the right amount in there. Where conductivity isn't an issue, I find plumbers PTFE tape works very nicely - especially with badly worn threads.

Got my Quick charger

marklin you got your watch, but did you get your paycheck from bluespam for spamming BLF?

(Maybe I'm jumping the gun when it comes to marklin. It is entirely possible that bluespam pays their employees in crappy watches...)

EDIT: Wow, the paisley post is already unpublished! They don't make spam like they used to.

Did you bought it @ hobbyking? I am thinking to order Turnigy Accucel-6 (excellent for my needs).

As a power supply I will convert my old PC ATX (+12V/14A) PSU into a bench power, there are many projects on this topic and it's very easy to do it :)

What I got today was really annoyed at the USPS. My package from MF is still hanging up at the NYNY ISC. Cry

I added tracking to this order since it was a $60+ order, but apparently all that does is slow the shipment down. My second order from the same date and same vendor made without tracking was already delivered about a week ago.

Yes, it’s from HobbyKing. Mine came with USB port (some other people receive it without USB port, I can’t get drivers but at least I have the option to do graphs)

Got my new Fluke 289 DMM today. Tonight I'm going to put it through it's paces :)

That's a beautiful piece of equipment, Glenn. Congrats.

As an aside, I was fondling a new Fluke meter in the store the other day, and it seemed as if the leads were just a bit thinner than the 6-year-old version at home.

Have you noticed any difference between yours?

Thanks my friend The leads shown in my picture are aftermarket. (see image) I like them better than the stock leads because the tips are much sharper. Also like that the alligator clips screw on vs push on.

The leads that came with the 289 are exactly the same as the ones that came with my 10 year old 189. Both measure 3.5mm in thickness.

Me too, when I saw mine hit the East Coast last Friday, I figured it would be here Monday or Tuesday. It's Thursday, the mail ran and no package.

Processed Through Sort Facility

ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)

Two now for me. Both packages "Processed Through Sort Facility". Still waiting... Cry

Yesterday I got a SanRenMu GB-763 from Exduct, and the knife is sweet. However, SRM needs to make a bigger brother to the 763.

Love that 289 atbglenn, I use my 179 loads but most of my actual work requires my cumbersome 123 with its crap battery, my work mate has ordered the removeable display 233, interested to see that soon

The big brother to the 763 is the EL02

Heyyy, just a few days ago I also ordered it from eBay.

Have been about to order it for ~half a year. Now at EDC SRM6261.

got absolutely nothing..starting to think my manafont package was stolen/lost :( i'll wait the 40 days then file, but this sucks..

Awesome knives!
