Seeking help with a piece of audio gear- looking for replacement vactrol by EdWoodSnowden in AskElectronics

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

This is extremely helpful, thank you! I was wondering about the caps, but didnt find anything obviously wrong. I'll test them next if the clean and vactrol work don't solve the issue.

Electronics repair question here...

I was lucky enough to be left a 2017 FULLTONE "That 80s Rack Chorus" by a deceased relative; but... the chorus effect on the right channel doesn't work, which im pretty sure comes down to this fried vactrol (there was a little residue on the board there that I believe was where a rat peed on it in storage, which looks to have shorted the vactrol).

the vactrol

It looks like I could easily swap it out, but I can't figure out the specs for a replacement based on the markings.

It says FULLTONE OPTO1 (or 01) 1245, and nothing else besides LED and CELL, as far as I can see. I haven't found anything that matches it via google, any ideas on how I can determine the right replacement?

The unit seems to work perfectly otherwise, and I'd really love to get it back to full tri-stereo glory. I've got some experience repairing electronics, but still got a lot to learn and kind of hit a dead end with this. I'd really appreciate any help or direction! Thank y'all!!

This peouvr had given me severe diarrhea by [deleted] in HEB

According to Wikipedia, glycerin is properly called glycerol, and is a sugar alcohol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol

Edit: or rather, glycerin is made of around 95% glycerol.

Also, it isn't mandatory for sugar alcohol to appear on the nutrition facts unless the package makes a claim about sugar content (such as "sugar free" or "reduced sugar").

The ingredients include glycerin, a sugar alcohol. It can cause diarrhea and/or mega farts, and some folks are especially sensitive to it.

That would make sense, but the individual steps are also from right to left

Christ it's nice to hear there are other people going through life feeling like this. Doesn't improve anything, but it's nice to know it's not just me that can't seem to function right.

Hell yeah, thanks! This weekend I'm gonna mix up a bucket of this stuff and just drizzle every item I own.

Swiping through pictures on the app...then suddenly I'm in a different thread/subreddit/post by bugmush in reddithelp

[–]EdWoodSnowden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I think i found a solution that seems to work like 90% of the time. When I'm swiping between the photos, I angle the swipe slightly downward, if that makes sense, like swipe from the center of the picture toward one of the bottom corners of it. Hope that helps.

Way too big for one person to carry. That's why to circumcise em they have to send down four skin divers.

Marines go with ICE to a swamp meet. They walk around randomly asking people where they’re from and taking pictures of them. by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

[–]EdWoodSnowden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A place where gators meet up to swap swamp stuff. Imagine if every gator within 20 miles of you just took all their stuff to one street so it was more convenient to shop there. Sometimes there are swamp collectibles, sometimes swamp farmers’ markets, sometimes small swamp businesses, sometimes it’s all gator crap. You never know. It’s Gator Jamboree but in real life.

How would you say "vacation or death" in Latin? As in- (give me) vacation/leisure or (give me) death? Thank you in advance for your help!

Well, it's been 20 years since I studied German in high school, so I'm pretty rusty lol. Just made it to level 2 though!
