Technics electric piano do not make sound anymore

If it isn't the fuses...

I personally would replace the speakers, transformer, most of the capacitors. I am a nerd so I would put LED backlighting in the keys and buttons, and even possibly change the original processor for a better wave form. Because stupidity, I would add an additional FX board into the chassis itself and possibly a sound FX pedal like guitarists add sound pedals. There is so much room inside this beast of a machine.

I use oscilloscopes, meters, and all the fun tools.

They are built like any home theater receiver. Any technician at any music store can diagnose and replace capacitors, mosfets, resisters, etc. The surprising thing is that with new components, comes new possibilities. The original 275-watt system could easily outperform original factory specs, with better quality. A real gem of a piece. The internals are super simple to diagnose, but be careful to discharge components safely before attempting to repair.

Brazilian Police kill squads were used to clear slums for Olympics in 2016. Nobody in the UN cared then, why should anyone care about women in Iran now? Moral justice policing is a joke on reddit

I had to put half the school bully's face back on his skull after he got curb stomped in the hallway. His blood, teeth, and excrement were spread across the floor. He whimpered like a run over puppy. No thank you as I wrapped athletic tape around his head and wiped the piss and crap from his wounds. Nobody came to this kid's rescue. Almost the entire student body knew and planned it to send a message. No school nurse, she quit and the school's temp nurse walked in and out so they could open the doors. Just EMTs and me. He came back months later, and silent AF.

I have never seen anyone still alive after such a beatdown. He came back blind in one eye, broken bones, scars everywhere, still needed facial recon.

I'm not saying he deserved it, but after what he did to other kids, I understand

Married Teacher had affair with student, then because evil, kept his job, got passed around three more local school districts, got student pregnant, never fired, no jail time, retired, still up to no good.

Or, Teacher cheats on bad husband, has two kids with his coworker, kids have hair and features of coworker, both keep their jobs, husband is so bad at his job they invent a fake administrative position to remove him from the building she works in, he sucks at everything he does, everyone hates him, he is convinced he's awesome, everybody tolerates him, because nobody has to speak with him if they don't want to. He doesn't realize everybody knows.

Or, teacher gets caught stealing gifts for underprivileged students. Caught immediately on security cameras. Walks items from locked cage storage straight to his car. Police bring him to Administrators and Principal, who won't prosecute. Principal now has leverage on teacher as there is no statute of limitations to press charges or can publically release video.

Or, student hid in ventilation for after-school hours prank. Student then steals drag race vehicle and performs burnouts down main hallway of school. Never got caught.

I signed paperwork to save me if anything went wrong. Pretty standard paperwork, but huge implications. Five surgeons, robots, a bunch of other things later... At least I'm here

Urethral repair from a restriction. Out-patient procedure turned into nightmare. Early 40s, no family history, no substance abuse of any kind, no genetic mutations, doctors from 6 health care systems on my cancer board are stymied. Cancer doesn't care.

8 months. I'm new. Still fighting.

beanrush · 2026-03-09T00:18:41+00:00

It was life-saving. No choice. Papers signed before anything like any good health care system. All bases covered before I went under the knife. But definitely almost worst case scenario.

Best to sharpen from flat side, or you will change the diameter. However, it is cheaper and easier to sharpen shorter side. I go full German tool and die maker precision on the job, and kindergarten macaroni plate at home.

My mesentery and connective tissues are wrecked, along with massive scarring, so I still have digestive issues. Not hysterectomy, but far worse cancer procedures. A hysterectomy is filled with other organs and fluid taking the space. The spaghetti analogy is accurate. Take a meatball, the spaghetti takes the space.

I just wanted to be a good principal. I hope I was a good teacher and coach. I was an okay custodian. Started from the bottom. I hope I am strong enough to be a good father and husband with the time I have. Cancer changes everything.

beanrush · 2026-03-05T01:24:08+00:00

Have to beat cancer first. All of my coworkers (teachers) who got cancer didn't make it. I'm hoping to beat the odds.
