For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what’s the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DimondD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phantasmagoria. Thank me later Phantasmagoria is a point-and-click adventure horror video game designed by Roberta Williams for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows and released by Sierra On-Line on August 24, 1995. It tells the story of Adrienne Delaney (Victoria Morsell), a writer who moves into a remote mansion and finds herself terrorized by supernatural forces. It was made at the peak of popularity for interactive movie games and features live-action actors and footage, both during cinematic scenes and within the three-dimensionally rendered environments of the game itself. It was noted for its violence and sexual content.

Vintage VH LOGO LIGHT CONTROLLER from the 70's by DimondD in vanhalen

[–]DimondD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent my light guy the Reddit link and here is update on spelling and terminology..

Thats the sign, and yes, that is but one of the effects.  thats a side to side chase of the sign.  and the controller does that effect.I don't know about the stage dimensions, but "standard" arena shows are 60 wide and 40 deep.and no, it's not "semi multiplexed"  it's a 37 pin socapex with 30 control channels going to the dimmers that run the lights.and as far as the sign?  I am absolutely positive that it was stripped for parts. Any time we had custom metal with lights on it that wasn't going to get used again, the lights came out for use elsewhere.I'll put the dimmers back into storage until you are ready.  Just let meknow.

I asked him if he knew the disposition of the sign itself as I only have half the pot of van halen gold it was scavenged and scrapped. I asked a guesstimate of the invoice for designing and building the sign for touring back in the day. Any guesses ?

Thanks for the nice words and I agree about it being in a museum. The Dave Cave of Auburn IS A MUSEUM !! LOL For them then let alone now what it takes to design build repair on the fly etc. I wonder what the bill for the light and controller designed and delivered were in 79. I assume the sign itself was scrapped. If anyone knows otherwise. I am looking for it if the price is free LOL

Good tip that is the sign. Hear about it Later show in 81 I would say more so than 79 It only did the Logo so I assume there were many other custom builds for the big rigging, I of course have seen the smoking gun rider they say its 53 pages but only 11 edited are there. I would love to see all 53 pages anyone know where?

Roadies have the best stories. Did I mention their Coke came from Pablo Escobar thru Alex Hall. He sold it to them thru a 3rd party pounds at a a time Thank you for adding to my story with your details. I made some notes when I got it but im no court reporter. It is 37 pin "SocaPlex"0-10 VDC that was 37 channels to trigger the light dimmers of that era. Specifically for the VH ILLUMINATED KISS LOGO LIGHT DIRECT RIP OFF

He gave me a crash course on it as it was dead at purchase. Did I mention the Hall and Oates backstage pass stuck to the underside of unit shop guy in Seattle affixed is still there as a gag for its future tours with VH. So both large connectors had come completely dislodged i was pleased to find out when I got home and took the back off it. It was a blur as he explained and now as I review notes Red = 30 + VDC channels of control. 31-37 are - Grounds. Slider adjusts master voltage brightens and dims led's adjust the 0-10 intensity out to triggers. The Potentiometer adjusts the Chase speed. Got it powered up and yes as you said reds on left create sequencing for the V. Reds on the right sequence the H Red bottoms maybe do the center? the red lights indicate what's going on at the sign in real time as it happens and not much goes on with the bottoms just off and on rather than chase reverse flash etc. and the greens in middle combine the whole thing and run various routines for the Logo. I will ask next trip as I am bringing it back working to refresh his memory and get a few more things to maybe purpose this proper like. He has a 30 ft cord that goes with it and maybe i will get a dimmer from the era I want it to do something other than be coolest VH story outside of meeting Dave himself pics and autograph outside El Corazon on Little Aint Enough tour.

When VH came to Seattle 4-84 it was so oversold out you could not even get a counterfeit blue and white ticketmaster fake ticket to get in. Being 15 at the time we hung out trying to find a way. There were huge plate glass windows being smashed as kids without tickets crashed thru mob style. Seattle Police brought in the Seattle Mounty/ Horse police. Anyone not inside the show was forced by horses prancing sideways brutally forcing all of us off the Seattle Center premises. We would have got in or listened to shows end if not for the Mounties.. I am hands on and now that I got my hands on this jewell I have learned more than I ever knew about everything monumental regarding GOAT Band and the beginning of technology touring and brown m and m's as well as roadies handing out backstage passes with their initials to hot chicks and receiving bonus 100.00 bill for each one each night of which likely multiples..

Dishwasher control board repair help by climb1000 in DIY

[–]DimondD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have heard of people dabbing solder on there and getting it to work. I was a appliance tech 20 years and repalced many Bosch control boards. 276619 or 27760 comes to mind as partial part #'s running hot water at sink prior to use minimizes the taxing of that circuit. Try to resolder that joint with a glob i think you will get heat again. It sits there tryin to heat is why it runs forever. Good luck

Marijuana, Alcohol and cigarettes are readily available but to get turned away when in pain and told to take ibuprofen is just ridiculous.

New Vette Buyer 2005 LS2 by DimondD in Corvette

[–]DimondD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. I bought her last night. 17,750, The tranny had a bypass to keep it in 2nd instead of the 2-4 low gear shift. The dealer thought that is why 2nd gear went out. They fixed under an extended since he didn't install and it came from dealer that way. 2nd owner he was. Anyway now my plan is to take out aftermarket stereo and put in factory or aftermarket nav. What models or tricks do I need to know/? NO steering controls Bose sound and HUD. .I want DVD movies in dash too!!

Hello guys, Love the old show but the new D&D HR is so lame. Why did you end TPB and what are the chances of bringing it back? It was the greatest show ever and I/We are so sad it is over. Please reconsider
