"Jim F." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Rich, Really appreciate the offer but I just ran the thing and the power supply voltages seem really stable now that the plug pins are clean.
I suspect the receptacles are OK too, not being out in the open air for 50 years like the pins were and everything seems quite solid. I will keep you in mind though if you don't mind. The 4th of july might come early this week. Now have to figure out cleaning the relay contacts :-) Many thanks again and Best regards, Jim / W1FMR --- Rich Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Rich Carter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an > utterance to the drakelist gang > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Jim > I have a brand new male/female pair of 15 pin Cinch > connectors that I bought > for another project.
