New Lights for the TS-790

Posted on by Leave a comment

I had to replace the back lights on my Kenwood TS-790 again. I had replaced them with LEDs before, but I didn’t have the diffused ones then, so I just sanded them to make them not so bright. Well they went out again for whatever reason and I had to replace them again.

This time I ordered some diffused ones and replaced them. I ordered them about a year ago, but just finally got around to putting them in. It had been so long I forgot they were green. They are growing on me, I kind of think they are neat. You can kind of see them in the pic.

Let’s hope these last longer.

3D Printer Rebuilds

Posted on by Leave a comment

I spent the last two months rebuilding a couple of old 3D printers I had. It probably would have been easier to just buy new, but I hadn’t gotten the money out of these ones, so it became kind of a personal crusade on my part. At least I learned quite a bit.

Coax Patch Panel

Posted on by Leave a comment

I needed a coax patch panel. Wanted something instead of a switch. The only one I could find was from MFJ and even they didn’t have them in stock.
So I cut one out using my laser cutter from acrylic. So far it is holding up, and it looks great. I might have to make some of these. What do you think?
