Just catching up.
I sold a Radio Shack Mini Color Computer on Ebay, played around with it some.

Just some pics from the last 3 months.
I made Sriracha from peppers from the garden.
I smoked some tofu, peppers and cheese in this smoker I got from a friend. The cheese got a bit melty but still tasted great.
I built the latest CHA/V 3.0 and VGA4EVA Video synth.
Henry and I desoldered and then soldered in new mechanical switches for his keyboard.
I 3D printed a terminal cover for a RT65-b power supply (used on the Eurorack synth)
Made a fun noise module from scratch.
Some dongles I found as I was going through stuff to sell on Ebay.
Anyway, that's what I've been up to.
My Ryobi 40V leaf blower stopped blowing yesterday. The motor sounded like it was spinning but the visible fan blade would only rotate slowly. A quick consult with Dr. Google turned up a few youtube videos of people who had had this problem. One solved it by using a small R/C motor coupling, which also had a well done teardown. The other gooped in a bunch of JB Weld as a fix. Both worked. So I tore mine down to see what was what. I didn't do a detailed teardown, it's trivial to disassemble, but watch that first video I linked to.
Various PanaVises, notice the PanaVise 209 Vacuum Base Pv Jr
I want the head to fit in this base.
I need the post to have an end like this.
Some lathe time.
Maybe too tall even with my low profile base.
I took about 3/4" off of the height.
