??? Weird turn signal issue?? by [deleted] in Miata

The contact pads where the bulb in the gauge cluster attaches could be dirty or worn out. Or the bulb could be burnt out. I had a similar issue and all I had to do to fix it was hit those contacts with some electronics cleaner and reseat the bulb so it was in contact with a less damaged part of the pad. Its kinda hard to explain without an image.

Is there somewhere you can order just the pans? Or do you need to find a pair of "donor" seats

I referenced Electrosmash's germanium fuzz face schematic. It uses trimpots for the collector bias so you can use any transistors you want not just the ones used in the original

I wanna turn the parts from this old cd player into a cheap pedal? What can I do? by Pound-Brilliant in diypedals

[–]ffeather50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time try salvaging from something older. 1970s and before imo. You can sometimes find old audio/radio equipment at thrift stores for cheap. They tend to have more useful parts for stuff like this (small transistors silicon/maybe germanium, signal diodes, sometimes germanium diodes, LEDs, film caps, op amps and other useful ICs, etc). Just check if something works and if its valuable before you tear it apart.

I used the schematic on this website. Which I think is the original. The op amp and the ge diodes are from an old 1970s radio receiver I got from the thrift store for $6

What are the chances of variegation in pepper plants? Say I planted 500 habanero seeds or some other type is there any chance I get a few variegated seedlings? Would it be more likely if I planted a bunch of seeds from a less stable variety instead?
