It's been heavily in the tech news this last few months - Broadcom are quite eager to have you buy a subscription service for 500-1000% of the original pricing. They need someone to help them pay off the huge cost of the acquisition... The big companies will likely grin and bear it (except for AT&

I almost always work them bare handed and hot.  Try to keep one hand out of the circuit.  120 doesn’t bother me too much.  I don’t even start feeling it until 80 it 90 volts.  Have demoed that with a variac.  It the 277 jolt was felt in my pecs.  I did get 600 VDC solar circuit across a hand once,

I wear rubber-soled shoes, and gloves, and as long as I keep the hot wire away from other stuff, it seems to work well for me. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but If I'm on a threat level of 7, I put Chick on a threat level of 9. -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On Sun, Oct 27, 2024 at 8:45 AM Ken Hoh

Back in 1976, I worked for Warwick Electronics which made private label TVs for Sears and Kmart. I was scared of the 25kV second anode voltage on the CRTs, not only did the picture tube itself hold a charge after you powered down the chassis, but they used capacitor/diode voltage multipliers wh

Yeah. Should have clarified that. Not all new circuits. It's an older home with outdated wiring. So I think there were a couple new circuits, but there was plenty of other type of work.

I have a friend who hired an electrician to do a couple of new circuits in his home. According to my friend, the guy did all the wiring bare-handed and without turning anything off. When I do that kind of thing, I at least wear some gloves. Zipping and zapping is not my favorite thing. -- bp part
