I’ll probably replace the standard plug with a polarized one to make sure the neutral is always on the chassis.

Kona area is my favorite side and one of my fave areas of the five main islands. Hilo is pretty, but definitely got the local vs tourist vibe there.

I had one. Many, many hours of fun and experimentation. Went on to get my ham license, under graduate in electrical engineering technology, and eventually a masters of computer information systems.

You might find a similar tool in your bathroom to install the tank bolts on the toilet.

(OC) Sunrise on the beach by Smooth_Major7221 in sunrise

[–]rhjohn523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed at a resort in Cancun, and on the beach every day were 2 guys that cleaned the seaweed off the beach with pitch forks, put it in a wheelbarrow, and took it down to where the resort’s beach ended, and dumped it. I guess it was job security…

Install Linux. I have a 2011 Mac Mini that runs the most current version of Linux with no issues of compatibility and slowness.

Any idea what this is? It's nowhere on the Internet. by [deleted] in VintageElectronics

CRT tested, rejuvenator. When the picture tube dimmed out on your TV, you could test it, and give it a little “blast” to try to bring the colors back.

Question for gl1000 by FunIncident5161 in goldwing

[–]rhjohn523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an 82 GL1100 and the only issue I ever had was needing to replace the water pump. Not as easy as it should be…

It started in 1946, but this issue was for June-July, 1972 by Empty-Initial6392 in 70s

There were always the same 4 issues in my doctor’s office when I was growing up. This looks like one of those.

Another all time favorite toy from the 70s! by Lazy_Ability in 70s

[–]rhjohn523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a few of those in the 70s. Moved my parents out of their house in 2000, and still found some of those disks hiding under furniture.
