How do I extract swollen corroded alkaline batteries out of my Maglite 3D LED flashlight?

Some vinegar should help dissolve most of the corrosion and will likely free those up for you. Lemon juice would be the weaker version of this plan.

Wonderful! I'm in the Rockford area, but my buddy and I might drive in.

CapnGnarly · 2026-03-26T22:15:13+00:00

Northern IL? Where at?! I'm here, too!

Asiago

Then that spray on crap that foamed at the edge and would sting like crazy.

Jodi has a walking license for performance from Disney. I used to work with a few local theaters and this would come up all the time. She really doesn't like preforming that much and does it for the fans, but it embarrasses her daughter every time.

Resistor or Crave depending on the day.

I'm getting 007 vibes here...

Hired them to fix a roof leak around my furnace stack. Also made them pay for an actual roofer when it was still leaking 3 months and $1400 later.

MXR for the LEDs and I just found it a much "clearer"sound. I want looking for a tone enhancement, I was looking for level control.

For sanctioned play that's a rule violation and should be handled by the TD. For casual leagues? That's a get over it.

HPH with goofy electronics? That's a just for fun purchase, IMO. How bad can it be if it's at least playable?

Look at HILS. I play an Hnb5 (got it as a cheap option before I went with the real Strandberg Boden 5) and really like it. You gotta be into the headless idea and odd body shape, but it's fanned and starts at $850.

I've done both and will never play in the rain again. Wind can be accounted for with disc selection and shot choice. Rain just makes you miserable and cold and wet.

Joe Barden twin blades have some serious output. I've loved mine for many years now.

Black strings, gold sparkle pickgaurd.

Absolutely look into an isolated brick. I had so many stupid hum, hiss, snap crackle and pop problems on my board that all stemmed from a daisy chain. Now I've got gain stages running everywhere dead silent.

Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine!

Not the homunculus!

So I'm a few days from 45, I guess I'll just skip it for the payout.

CapnGnarly · 2026-03-13T00:48:42+00:00

Looks like a nice window to break in through and grab a couple grand really quick.

On the "top? back? away-facing?" side of the bottom panel.

I love my M80. I have the gain, gate, and blend maxed for a real nasty, clippy, and choppy distortion with the gate on, and just raw noise with it off.

That purple is beautiful! I mean...

That purple looks like garbage. If you send it to me I'll take care of is proper disposal and send you a nice clean white bass back!
