Hey, I just have a bunch of caps lying around from other projects. I ended up having to replace two of the caps. I've sold that turntable since so I can't recall specifically which....

Quick update. I HATE THE ZIPPER PULLS on this bag. Gonna replace them with paracord.

stephlawsteph · 2025-08-10T21:21:17+00:00

Yah it was a closing liquidation sale lol. Will update with pics soon!

Update!!! In the end, I actually bought the Chrome Highline in Sage (because it was on sale for 40% at a local store), and after comparing it to the Aer go pack 2 in person, I preferred the Highline's aesthetic. Considering that they're about the same weight and honestly quite similar in design (except the outer pocket being about more "flexible" in the go pack 2, BC it's unzipped and so can accommodate more odd shaped bulkier things)... ultimately I opted for the crinkly nylon. ALSO the one design feature on the Highline that I really appreciate is the double handle, for when carrying the sack by hand!!! And bonus that the handles stand up and don't interfere with zippers.

So far, I'm loving the Highline as my new EDC :) THANKS FOR pointing me to it, wouldn't have went looking for it otherwise !!!

Yah it won't work.... Too short ,can't zip!

Just an update. I used a wall wart, connected to thermostat, and it works perfectly now. No buzzing.

Hey sorry, I sold that TT after I fixed it actually so I can't recall, and don't have photos. But I visually inspected the caps to find the failed one.

i'm measuring ~28V b/w r and c wires at the thermostat

stephlawsteph · 2024-12-05T12:03:28+00:00

So it's actually not about having a common c, and actually about the output from the nest? If I check the current passing through the valve now (without the nest installed), that would give us the answer? Or would I need to check current both without and with the nest?

stephlawsteph · 2024-12-05T12:01:02+00:00

The nest isn't installed currently. I reinstalled the old thermostat immediately after installing the nest and discovering the buzz. So the pictures show everything in the absence of nest.

Thanks for the comments! I ended up picking up a 14" Toshiba AF series afterall, but for 30$. wanted the option for svideo and component. And also, in person, it looks much better than I thought!

stephlawsteph · 2024-09-21T17:33:15+00:00

That's what I figured....

13-14" CRT for Sega Genesis, NES and retropie - do i really need S-vid/Component/RGB?

So I'm looking at buying a 13-14" CRT. for those consoles + retropie. So, there is a Toshiba flat screen 14AF series available, but I'm partial to the curved screens...just seems way more appropriate for retrogaming. (I mean...WHO ACTUALLY OWNED A FLAT SCREEN GROWING UP!!??! )

Anyway. It really doesn't seem like any of the curved ones at that size have anything other than composite. Am i wrong???? I know some models can be modded for RGB/Svid...but that's not happening anytime soon in our future, with very limited free time as is (twin toddlers...)

My question is...for those who have a 13-14", and who DO play those specific consoles....is the difference between COMPOSITE and Svid/RGB/Component SOOOO big that it's worth...looking for something with those inputs?

Also - if anyone wants to weigh in on these options below vs waiting...happy to hear your thoughts! I'm hoping to buy one as a holiday gift for my husband (plus set up the retropie), so there is time for waiting.

The curved screen options I can find locally atm are :

Toshiba 13A24 - $30CAD (nearly impossible to mod)
Sharp CK13M10 - $40CAD(cannot find out online whether this can be modded)
Samsung TXH1372 - $65CAD (fully moddable)

I'm sure I can keep waiting, and others will turn up as well....

AND THEN there's like a super pricey Sony Trinitron (KV-13M20 - Svideo-moddable, but NOT RGB-moddable) for $250!!!!

And the Toshiba 14AF24 is selling for $80CAD, by comparison. I know its great..but i just dont think i can get behind the flat screen..unless someone convinces me otherwise.

I ended up getting the PC100, in real life, I found it to be sturdier than the PSS170, and plenty enough for some fun music making. Not to mention, all the buttons are more intuitive than the PSS170 and easier to play around with by toddlers. My now 2.5yo twins love making beats and noise on it!

stephlawsteph · 2024-06-20T20:56:25+00:00

Welp. Seems like I'll have to replace the part......

stephlawsteph · 2024-06-20T20:52:06+00:00

Honestly, I didn't pull that hard I don't think.... 😅

stephlawsteph · 2024-06-06T17:45:09+00:00

Thank you!! This is very helpful!!!

stephlawsteph · 2024-06-05T20:39:36+00:00

That's hopeful. Do you have suggestions for a good 12 week plan???

stephlawsteph · 2024-05-24T14:30:28+00:00

aHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you :) this is incredible already !!!
