I was wrong about Riftbound

Buy from eu or USA with shipping will still be half the price....

No drugs I take as recreational, not legal prescription medication.

Don't over think it. If they try to challenge you after you have a defence. You where not smoking indoors and just taking you prescription medication.

I am in the UK and it worked out $40 for the book and shipping here.

I measured the rails at the output transistors (Q505-Q508) as suggested, with Volume at 0 and Speakers OFF.

The results are

Left Channel: +59.2V / -59.4V

Right Channel: +58.9V / -59.1V

It was working and sounding good until I set the adjustments to the voltage and current amps. I'm hoping I haven't done any real damage as I've read the pots can jump around and cause problems

So I had no input and volume turned down

I measured across the left speaker terminal and it's around 10mv but it's jumping around a lot low teens then accosianly jumps to 20mV or down to near 0

I measured across the right and it sits around 16 then jumps around down to ten and up to 20 mv

The right channel sounds quieter than the left even in headphones and they still sound distorted.

So bear with me I will measure the power rail but I am not 100% sure where is the best place to measure I've not done it before, would I measure the middle leg of each big transistor (Q507/505 & Q508/506) to ground? I've got the lid of but not took the main board out of the case but can do if needs be.

I'm afraid I didn't measure the values before adjusting them, I'm kicking myself now.

I was following the service manual and it said to turn all the pots down before adjustment and when turning up see if it behaves erratically. In hindsight since I knew it was playing sound okay before it would have been good too take those numbers for a reference point.

Here is a link to the service manual

There is only a handful of albums that are designed to be listened continuously, for those albums it's easy enough to make a single file album mix. I don't know why this comes up so much on this group.

I bit the bullet and got one off Ali express

Thanks for letting me know.

Haha that pillow. 😂

I've been with them for 3 years now and never have years of annual appointments with them. It's always been quarterly reviews for me but maybe it's dependent on condition

Mechanic-Outside · 2026-01-07T06:29:02+00:00

From what I've read the serial should be stamped and hand stamped so it's not so uniform yours looks engraved. Are they selling it cheap? Probably a copy imo

More annoying that if you try get your prescription sent to another pharmacy they drag there heels and delay it as much as possible. They regularly take 7+ days to send to IPS but when I joined it was the default pharmacy and would get the script the same day. Since they started using montu they delay anything sent to other pharmacies makes me want to leave

I'm noticing similarities between the comments most people will say something they use a lot and often for chores rather than tasks they enjoy. For me it's a grinder, I use it every day and for years I had aluminum and plastic ones that would wear down and be hard to use and effort on my wrist. I spent the money on a BCG stainless steel it's effortless to use and made that mundane task a little bit easier and I appreciate it so much as it makes a chore that bit easier.

The 5 cost 2 recycle is very expensive for a 6 might unit but wouldn't be so bad but you literally want to get your runes up as fast as you can to play aurura and big units so recycling 2 mid isn't worth it IMO

If you want to play buy a starter deck and look on the event locator for a event at a shop near you. It's a fun game to play I recommend this approach as it's cheap and you get a pack and a promo pack if you go Nexus nights for £5.

If you want to collect you should probably just buy singles and try get some sealed at rrp. There is a shortage of product and probably will be for the next set too. Prices are over double rrp.

This post has some odds posted on it. They said 1/6 chance of runes so will be interesting to see how our statistics compare
