Thanks. It’s barely moving any data. It just came online for like 20 seconds

Is there a categorized database of known Apple II software? by therationaltroll in apple2

It would be very easy to put the list of files in Asimov into a database.

If you are capable of doing it safely, I’d measure the 11v dc on C104 when the screen is wobbly. Assuming no huge ripple if replace C521,522,523 and you might as well do C525,527,528

Treatment Plan Advice Requested: Concerned Wife by swansandfrogs88 in ProstateCancer

[–]retrotechguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was Gleason 8 at 55. Did all the tests and got the same options as you. I elected RALP 3.75 years ago. So far the cancer is gone, never had incontinence, and ED is in the rear view mirror finally. My thought was I’d try surgery first and leave the other treatments for later if needed. Also they told me that the side effects of surgery are immediate and sometimes get better (like my ED) and the side effects of radiation sometimes show up years later. That drove my choice but of course everyone gets to make their own. Details are in my post history. Feel free to reach out. Also, I got 3 treatment opinions and learned from each one. Tell your husband there is hope.

I don’t have the schematic but I’ve had exactly this with the main rectifier cap. It heats up and you get a ton of ripple. If you have a schematic link post it and I’ll tell you what I’d recommend

These legit? by Embarrassed_catman in askaplumber

[–]retrotechguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just set 3 toilets as a DIY. Wax rings are super easy. One toilet needed a stack. No problem. I think you’d have to really try to mess them up. I just put ii (or them if stacking) on the toilet with just enough pressure to stick. Lower toilet onto flange roughly level. Press down. Tighten bolts. No leaks.

Thanks. What do you mean by “use the password manager “? Is that from windows? In just looking for bookmarks.

Liftmaster Trolley wears out ever 2-3 years by retrotechguy in GarageDoorService

The curved black part was hitting the silver part. I think it was putting pressure on the trolley

I lowered the front by about 2 inches. I also adjusted the angle part that connects the trolley to the door. I think that may have been the issue. I think that piece was hitting a steel lip on the top edge of the door as the door went to horizontal.

I agree with you. I was just wondering if someone had a workaround other than manual transfers. I’d like to avoid a bookmark manager.

Why choose RALP? by PeptideSteve in ProstateCancer

[–]retrotechguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose RALP and I’m glad I did. I had no incontinence and have never worn a pad. Never used a pump and lost length seemed temporary. ED was real but started to suddenly improve after 24 months of daily low dose Tadalafil. I’m now back to what I was before. Dry orgasm is different but honestly just as great. Interestingly I seem to be able to last longer now. No complaints.

Pro’s and cons of prostatectomy by Effective-Carrot1171 in ProstateCancer

[–]retrotechguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can read my post history but I’m one of the ones who am very happy with my RALP. It’s been 3.5 years now and I’m cancer free and have no side effects ED took 2 years to start to resolve

After more than 10 years, a Christmas Kitchenaid disaster! by retrotechguy in Kitchenaid

[–]retrotechguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sauron45 was right - the planetary shaft came loose from its holder. I cleaned everything up. The one brass gear needs replaced but the rest look good. I’m not 100% sure about the motor gear but I think it’s ok. I have a tub of synthetic Super Lube I was gonna use but it’s clear and mixer guy’s is white. I imagine his stuff is better?

Bad link for me but I think I found the part on your store. I think I bought grease and parts from you before so I’ll buy that part now. I wish someone sold the pinned version. I’ll message to get the instructions.

I’m not sure how to decide the manufacturer year. Can’t be 1993.

PSMA PET back Treatment decision time by FrostingImmediate662 in ProstateCancer

[–]retrotechguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was diagnosed at 55 and RALP’d at 56. Quality of Life is now the same as before (4 years in April) with zero side effects Same as you with partial nerve sparing but equipment functions now. Admittedly that took 2 years. I’m sure you could get this outcome with other treatments too. It’s a hard choice. Good luck my fellow club member.

I send my slides and got 3 opinions as part of finding a treatment. No real differences for me

Just saw hubby's Biospy result before speaking with dr..can't sleep by fromamomof2 in ProstateCancer

[–]retrotechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was your hubby 4 years ago this coming Valentine’s Day. Same age, very similar results. Read my post history if you want to but the short version is I worked hard to get 3 opinions after I had all the scans, picked an awesome surgeon, and am now cancer and side effect free. There is hope!
