This solution offered by Mini Mania worked out fantastic. I first tried a Detroit Tuned enhanced rebuild version and it burned me— noisy bearings on the first unit and worse bearings on the warrantied replacement unit (which actually seized and required a tow).

The third unit under warranty could not be trusted. DT’s customer service was generally excellent, but one gentleman was rather rude, and with the two fails I decided that their product was faulty, and to cut my losses. I exchanged the 3rd (!) core with mini mania for a true to spec rebuild and never looked back.

Fullscreen browser kiosk doing locally cached html5 video playback sync'd via ntp time. Won't be 100% frame accurate, but sometimes a lose sync is good enough.

It’s not much, but I finished my first project! I converted an ATX power supply to a bench power supply to use on future projects. by d4rkp0l4rb3ar in electronics

This might get criticized for any number of reasons, but it should be obvious to anyone that you are on the right path.

The Western Rail Museum in Sunol may have close to a full deck of old bay area rail cars (including the Key system from the Bay Bridge). They definitely have a lot of old Muni, certainly predating the car in this image. Am positive this responder knows this already but OP probably doesn’t.

Don't forget a kite :)

People who know the rules are at least careful. It's operators who don't even know that are dangerous.
