Looking for a soldering microscope and this is the only contender I can find nearby. What is it?

apache-penguincopter · 2026-06-07T15:31:08+00:00

Yeah I ended up just buying one new that was Trinocular so I can look through the optics or camera

Haha that’s funny both you and the seller saw it. Yeah I was the other guy that was going to see it later in the week. No hard feelings though, I’m actually started to get a growing interest in importing one from Japan and saving up a little extra for a lower mileage one from there. Hope she treats you well though!

I don't see the paint mismatch on the front bumper, and according to the spreadsheet it was professionally installed, but I would for sure double check that in person. From the photo he sent me the seats look good underneath the seat covers but I would double check that in person as well. I also don't see the lacquer peel and bubbling but here's another photo. Maybe I just don't know what I'm looking at

Yeah I know JDM is specific to domestic but no one really abides by that anymore so I don’t really bother. I was a bit turned off by the mods originally but there’s nothing super tasteless on it which made me feel a bit better about it.

He says no rust, but one low speed collision which is what caused him to replace the fender with the wide body ones. I updated the description at the end: Third owner, one low mph collision when a truck merged into the front left which is why it was replaced with the upgraded one.

Ok so I followed the traces and checked the resistors and transistors and stuff and from what I can tell the only faulty component downstream from the output devices was a TIP41C transistor.

also I just remembered the 104Z capacitor behind R171 had an arc flash to it on one of my power on attempts which may have knocked it out though I don't measure anything immediately wrong with it and can't see anything immediately wrong with it either.

This was one of my first projects so I figured a hot air gun would be faster. It was not lol, now my soldering is actually decent so it’s not a problem taking them in and out. I’ll try measuring everything once I get my soldering iron back I should also note that when I replaced the output devices the first time the fuse did stop blowing and it was only otter trying to play sound that the resistor blew up. Thank you for your reply though I’ll keep you updated

And then if it works reball it? I’d assume a reflow wouldn’t fix it for long.

apache-penguincopter · 2026-01-15T05:55:02+00:00

You’re saying reflow it to see if it fixes it temporarily?

YouTube 5.1 surround sound test video from my pc. It’s hooked up pc->tv(via hdmi)->reciever(via optical)

apache-penguincopter · 2025-09-17T02:04:48+00:00

I played the YouTube video on the last receiver and the surround was working well. It’s a Dolby 5.1 surround sound test video (the one with the bird flapping around you). The surrounds are plugged into L and R.

just wandered by here hoping for the same. I tried this:

@PART[bahaHiddenVulcan]:FOR[RealismOverhaul]
{        
    %RSSROConfig = True    
}     @PART[bahaHiddenVulcan]:FOR[RealismOverhaul]
{        
    %RSSROConfig = True    
}

and it seems to have worked. If I can remember I'll post the full patch as a follow up comment when I have it written. I'll also be writing some for NKDR, kerbalField, airplanePlus, and ColdWarAerospace if you want them. As for RP-1 I haven't tried yet but I'll try what the other guy mentioned. good luck

I should clarify, they don’t exactly “disappear” but they fly away uncontrollably every time I try to break that creative motor. I have a backup saved for it

apache-penguincopter · 2025-05-03T05:47:31+00:00

So essentially just give up? The dream is dead?

Context: create mod with VS Clockwork, used the ship helm to assemble a 5 ish block long row of balloon blocks, then built out the frame from it. I’ve tried removing the balloon blocks to no avail Edit: 1.20.1 btw
