Been off for months. Woke up 0330 and have access via Niners S4. Home in bed. Awoke with a tad "discomfort" Dontcha love "Doctoreze" ans would love to give THEM a shot of "discomfort" with a baseball bat...

I spent a few hours yesterday working over Jim In Denver's Megawatt. Now Nicknamed Gigawatt. New choke, panasonic 105c Japanese caps instead of 85c originals. New EIGHTY AMP 150 PIV Schottky rectifiers instead of original 30's. Fired it up. 57 amperes into 12 volt load. Unit has 2 external fans now. 10x airflow. Putting in 11 position guitar click click click switch with 11 positions 13.3 to 14.8 volts. Using precision resistors. Color coded spectrum 5mm LEDs. Violet Blue Aqua Turqoise Yellow Amber 3k Orange Red White Flashing red/blue. Canopy overtop. 5.5 digit voltmeter One of Mr Wizard's inductive ammeters. 110c temp alarm shutdown.

Left arm in sling. Sure glad I made octopus + 3rd hand holder. Today comes the final circuit board precision resistor soldering job then the final assembly.

WFCO got mad at me. Blew 10 amp fuse. Replaced. Plugged it in. Blew piece of BiPolar transistor size of 2 stacked dimes. Hit my safety goggles. It's been stripped. Found ZERO heat sink compound on ultra cheap grade of Sil Pad. Sucker is the Yugo grade of converters. Salvaged the heat sink for LED project.

Beans and tortilla diet. Going to be an interesting month. Anyone interested in tech chatting

Mex, glad to hear it wasn't any worse than it was and that you are up and about! A doctor's discomfort is anyone else's PAIN, but by the time you get to our ages you already know that. Some day they will as well.

Seeing your words keyed with your fingers, is the Blessing of the Day!

SOOO glad you've survived, with apparently limited damage, and able to give us a status!!!

Glad to hear you are up and about.. Sorry about the sling.

Did the guy who hit you get a nice BIG bill for your pain and suffering?
