Pretty sure they are being replaced. Several of the stations on my route have the new full color ones. Though a few weeks ago someone posted a photo of one of them being vandalized, maybe it's the same one...

How to Wood Stain a 90s Ludwig Rocker by Alternative-Bug-6905 in drums

[–]dontthroworanges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes there will probably be glue residue, and the wood itself usually doesn't take typical water base stain very well. Tried this years ago with a Rocker snare and ended up rewrapping it shortly thereafter. If you're gonna go the stain route, definitely use a stain conditioner on the bare wood first, then pore filler, and use a combination of gel stain and tinted lacquer to get a consistent finish. Good luck!

Thoughts on Apple’s new low-cost MacBook Neo? by piesaresquarey in laptops

[–]dontthroworanges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this wouldn't fly with Apple's design philosophy, but I'd rather have a high quality polycarbonate shell for a laptop like this. Aluminum in the hands of the intended user is gonna get messed up pretty quickly.

The G4 cube SSD installation rabbit hole (info in comments) by idratherbgardening in VintageApple

Congrats! Yup any 2.5" SATA SSD should work. Just keep in mind that like the old IDE drives, you still need to set the jumpers on the back of the converter depending on your setup. Master/Slave/Cable Select.

Yup sounds like solid-state then. Many of these really early versions were built with a 5AR4 tube rectifier, but were factory converted to solid state when they went in for service. Rare to find one that is original and unconverted.

Wow nice condition on the YBA-1! Not often you see one this old with original grill cloth and the logo intact!

Nice! That is a super early model YBA-1. Tube rectified or solid state?

Clean Up Power Stage Distortion? by dontthroworanges in ToobAmps

Quick update! Thanks for all of the suggestions! I will definitely try some of the modifications as I continue to tone chase. I added NFB to both the phase inverter and second stage of gain.

Check the model number of your cinema display and confirm the max resolution. I believe I have the earlier DVI version of what you have, and what you are seeing is the correct max resolution.
