Re: [time-nuts] Extron distribution Amp on EBay
The ADA 3 on offer must be an early one. It's in a plastic Vero case. The later ones were in nice wrap-around alloy cases.

Re: [time-nuts] Extron distribution Amp on EBay
Where are you? There are lots of impressive asking prices, but the one mentioned below on on eBay closed for $17.50. I checked completed listings on all NTSC stuff and they've closed from $0.01 to $20 $15?

The Atlantic is the big one between the East coast of the USA and West coast of Europe / Africa. The Pacific is the slightly smaller one off the West coast of the USA and East coast of Asia. The Indian ocean is between Africa and Australia. Had to look up the name though. And this is from someone who badly failed at geography. I most likely couldn't tell you where all the borders of the various EU member states were (and I certainly couldn't name all of the US states)... Thing is, it's not something that most people need to know in order to do their jobs. This is why we have atlases, Google Maps and -- of course -- Wikipedia. Frankly if I needed to know where (say) Norway was, I'd go to Gmaps and type in norway...

Hard to know if you are serious but... Actually the Pacific Ocean is the Earth's largest feature. It is roughly 1.5 times larger then the Atlantic Ocean. The Pacific is larger than all of the Earth's land mass combined That is why it was so funny that so many people could not find it. It is by far the largest thing on the map. -- = Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

There's also a whole lot of other cartographic issues... Greenland on a Mercator projection is the notorious one. To keep this moderately time-nuts related, that's actually how I got started on precision timing.. I was looking at generating map projections, which got me into surveying and cadastral stuff, which got me into precision GPS measurements. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
