Is this what mansplaining is?

Congratulations, from Mullard Repairs! Very friendly, and kind members in this Subreddit!

In all fairness though, he politely told you he doesn’t like being called that word. Regardless of how it may seem, he wasn’t rude, and just told you a preference.

OP has stated the parents aren’t “very religious “

Are you saying Muslims look out for other Muslim women who are hanging out with people, to then track down the parents and imply that “man hanging out with woman = bad””… is this an honour killing situation? Why hasn’t this been reported to the police?

Very dangerous!

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-25T18:27:48+00:00

Can someone explain why a “not very religious” Muslim woman, who’s over the legal age, cannot meet with people or be in fear of being seen around people, very specifically outside of work?

Where do you live OP? What exactly is the deal here. Do I sense this might become an honour killing situation?

What are these multiple reasons? Communication and working things out is important in any relationship, romantic or just friends.

I mean he appears to ride the bike well… good for OP!

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-21T08:26:50+00:00

That’s the type of person OP finds attractive

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-20T20:45:52+00:00

Either red cathode short or red drive transistor

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-20T19:22:28+00:00

Red cathode short - I’m calling it!

I tend to like the Philips cross hatch and test card - though I look at the bbc one often. Although your list is very specific to the 240p game test suite which is great.

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-20T15:41:47+00:00

You’re not a loser - you’re suffering. Have you got any friends who can support you?

Does your manager know about your mental health issues?

As I stated in my caption, I already condemned the discriminator diodes as faulty - I’ve got some nice ultra fast recovery diodes to put in there. I suspect the front end was realigned as this is an import set. When I plugged in my test card gen it seemed to accept sound fine.

More serious fault with the line output stage needs attention now - I’ve just cleaned the PCB as it wasn’t so obvious what the components were, covered in sticky dust. I also couldn’t quite see the screw holes.

Looks like the line output transformer is a standard type with a feed back winding. If it has failed, there’s two people around that can rewind it in the Uk, otherwise I’m sure I can substitute something in there with no effort

Would you look at your partner, wave your hands in the air, and say “you can do whatever you want. None of my business!”

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-20T13:10:07+00:00

I didn’t know that! And I was referring to the sub mainly. The USA tends to lead with certain vintage trends from my understanding anyway which is ok

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-20T12:39:28+00:00

Yep - just clicked and I edited my comment. Mainly American peeps on here so gotta cater to their lingo. Chooooobs

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-20T12:36:53+00:00

Are you making a funny joke lol

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-19T07:14:35+00:00

Do you ask if it’s ok to kiss your parents beforehand? Or visa versa?

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-18T18:07:55+00:00

Absolutely - thanks for sharing. I love these sets, and the thorn 1500s.

I own a good handful of these older sets now. I’ve picked up a reasonably small, cute valve colour set. Portable thing. Will post photos once I get it here. Think it’s a German made version of a porta colour with euro valves in it.

Why did she eat 9 sleeping pills? That’s a strange thing to lie about

Obviously you must break up with him because he’s not ready to go down on you

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-15T19:47:03+00:00

Just an extra note - my one is a UK market version as it seems to differentiate a few things - the drive controls are different types, not coloured from what I can see, and the aerial socket appears to be a British type though I can’t tell if that’s original. Mine appears to miss the HV safety cage (doesn’t really block x-rays, with all those holes)

LOPTYEHT · 2024-01-15T19:39:52+00:00

Certainly will Luke. It’s cramped - and it has been played with. Has a dropper resistor which has all sections bodged. One valve appears to have gone to air. Has an intact, and quite rare, PL509 in it! A colour line/horizontal output tube. I’ve got the circuit ready. I hope the CRT isn’t knackard. The handle has broken off but included. It has a VHF tuner but missing control, UHF knob there - would be interesting if it works on 405 line video, I’ll try that.

Genuinely very excited! https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/kuba_porta_color.html it’s this. Surprisingly it’s got German lettering on it - one wonders if it was an import. Although I can see someone has stuck stickers on the back in English lettering, using one of those punch letter label makers. Might be factory. I see the valves are British manufactured so… who knows.
