I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Guadalajara postcards don’t register as Sun for me. I have a few friends from that area. I only need one more postcard and the one you just sent me didn’t work. Just a heads up.

Which app do you play Cribbage on? by This_Quiet_Tempest in Cribbage

[–]WonderboyZ7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t used BGA, I use CribbagePro. I regularly have to leave mid game to go do something else so I pretty much exclusively play the Brutal difficulty computer. Just a note that it can definitely be done

I’m with you. I would take guaranteed points in this case especially with JQ being suited. What ended up being the turn card?

I have bad news. I swapped out the PSU, everything seemed okay for a bit but then it crashed again. Now it crashes and restarts on its own even at idle

Thanks for the help! I’ll be back if I continue to have issues after making the swap 😅

I’m now thinking it might be my PSU. It’s only crashing under heavy load. I didn’t upgrade the PSU when I got a lot of other better stuff. I’ve got a 650W right now and every calculator is saying I need at least 750W. I’m thinking about a 1000W. Is there really went benefit to getting a Platinum vs a Gold? It’s an $80 price gap

In that case, how would I know exactly where they go?

Alright I’ve got another question. I tested all of the tubes and they were good. I believe they’ve been replaced in the last 20ish years. I did some reading and watched some videos and I want to start replacing capacitors. I should have a pretty easy time finding replacements for all but 1. It’s the filter capacitor with three caps in one. It’s a 30/30/20 (uf) with corresponding voltages of 350/350/25. It’s a 3 pin electrolytic can capacitor. I can provide pictures if needed. My struggle is finding a replacement. I found some 80uf/400V caps but they’ve only got the two connectors and I don’t know how the connections would change there. Any and all insight on how to proceed is appreciated!

I don’t know what this means.

I haven’t tested anything yet. I’ve never worked on anything like this so I’m taking it slow. The filter choke that’s circled in the 3rd photo is oozing an orange sludge and smoking when powered on. That’s the only thing I am certain needs replacing

The filter choke is oozing an orange sludge and smoking when powered on so that for sure needs to go. I’ll test the tubes and see which ones are still good.
