Kidney working better now, back to the "grind".

Betcha thought quack-medical devices disappeared from the market because they are quack medicine, right? You would be wrong. They are simply being made in China now--the world's largest eager market for quack medicine.

On Monday I had even MORE kidney surgery. Balloon ureteroplasty, because scar tissue (from the previous surgery) blocked the ureter partly and it was backing up. Same surgeon. He saw an ultrasound taken 2 wks ago and went "oops we need to fix that". Was not painful....but now it is, only when pi***ng; small amounts of blood again......drink those 3 liters every day, kids.

And I'm still getting queries about "when are you coming back??" and "buy a booth at our trade show" and "advertise on our website" etc. etc. Some of them are relentless. Bah.

The other day I had kidney stone surgery. Big stone, destroyed with laser endoscope. Left me very weak and shaky. Prostate mangled (again). Forced to urinate every 20 min to 1 hour bc it's trying to expel blood and other "bad substances" I gather. Medications are only partly effective. Been in bed or on toilet most of the time. Huzzah.

Anything you wanted is going to wait longer.

Until then consider this extreme obscurity from the TCA list. "This is a Jennings Radio experimental capacitively tunable dual triode. Probably meant as a UHF transmitter tube. The anodes are connected to the black solder lugs.
I have this tube from the HSJ (History San Jose) Museum, which has a large collection of artifacts from Jennings. These were donated to the museum when Jennings moved manufacturing out of USA.
The tube will soon be up for sale and the selling domain and price are still TBD, but will soon be published in the tubecollectors domain. Proceeds will go to HSJ."

Probably a pulsed triode for radar and probably a failure. Those copper bellows for tuning are fragile and won't stand the heat. Photo below because I STILL cannot post a photo directly.

Still can't post photos here so this forum post will have to do. You are NOT getting any service or new toys from me until I settle all of Kathleen's affairs.

Even now I'm still getting emails asking for help, including a guy who is trying to build a replica of the Le Caine "Electronic Sackbut", which I know nothing about and have never seen. Does a dead partner make a good "excuse" not to offer free tech support for random DIY projects? Why should I even care? Haven't I dropped enough goddamn hints that I am SICK of doing this?

Tried to delete this page, and keep getting "You are not authorized for this action". So much for that.

THAT'S IT, I'VE HAD ENOUGH !!

In a few days we are shutting down this page. At least, we will TRY. Not only is Meta an utterly incompetent organization, with zero customer support and mobs of sockpuppets and hackers, they are now trying to BILL ME for advertisements I did not place or authorize.

Today there was a Paypal payment of $255. No idea what it was "for". Emails and attempts to contact FB management are ignored.

Does not help that I keep seeing reports like this.

If you really MUST have a Metasonix device.....try Zerosum instead. He is reissuing some of our older products. Most recently, the D-1000 drum machine.

I personally redesigned it with a DC power supply to eliminate the hum in the older version. The three drum sounds have also been modified so they sound slightly different from each other. He is adding a front panel pot to control the roll clock speed. Also in a nice wooden cabinet. So it's better than the originals.

This is an OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED AND LICENSED product. And it is a limited-issue version so buy now or shut up. (Well, as soon as they are restocked.)

Sorry kiddies, I am swamped. Three dealers want a pile of stuff (mostly Amputators as I would expect BECAUSE THEY'RE CHEAP) but no stock remains. It appears December will be full of personal problems. I cannot build your little toys when busy with other things. We do not have cheap prison labor handy to build the toys.

If you placed an order, be patient. Also expect our prices to rise thanks to tariffs.

Yes bunky, your Amputator xmas gift to an SO might be delayed.

For the nth time: International Servicemaster was NOT a "tube manufacturer", nor even a supplier of "quality" products. From Bob Dobush:

"Hi! Found this absurd International Servicemaster boxed 2A3 tube- first of all- it is marked 2A3 on box and printed on tube. Secondly, it is marked "Made in USA" and that is not the case as it has a weird shaped ST bulb. Thirdly, it is a full wave rectifier - appears to have a 4 or 5 volt filament. And last of all- it has a 4 pin British base! thanks, bob d. "

It's actually a 5Z3 rectifier. Plug it into a 2A3 socket in an amp and it will probably overheat and destroy the power transformer. Charming.
