The car is heavy on its springs as I bring a load of old computers to the local electronics recycling day. The total was 2 monitors, 2 printers, and 2 external HD arrays and about 12 computers of various vintages back to a 486.
There was absolutely no service at the ranch before Wilson Electronics. The Wilson Electronics Sleek provides service in the Jeep while in the pasture. This was without the Sleek.

I got the preamp soldered together today and finished off the output jack, volume control and power connector...
I really want to put everything in a clear case because it's so cool to see inside, but the only clear case I could find doesn't have enough room for the batteries... maybe I could mount the batteries outside the case which would make them easier to change (++) it's a bit less elegant...

Homer Simpson looks happy onscreen. This His Masters Voice 'Little Nipper' television could receive both VHF and UHF channels, both using turret tuners. The VHF went 'click click click' on each channel, but UHF was a pain.
This afternoon we hosted our first kids electronics workshop. It went
really well with the boys class. Lots of interest and enthusiasm. The
girls were less interested in volts and amps, but were very excited to
drive the golf cart. Several dad's hung around and got something out
of the class too.
From the Great Internet Migratory Box of Electronics Junk I received, I've taken a handful of cable ties, some green and clear LEDs, a 5x7 dot matrix display (EC40-11GW; thanks to oskay for identifying it), a seven-segment numeric LED display (Dialight 745-0007 circa 1972), and an SPDT toggle switch (C&K 7101).

We came across an interesting oddity from the realm of consumer electronics: a fake seven-segment LED display. Just for fun, we made our own version too.
