Its not an uncommon occurance in this hobby; parts fail, sometimes violently, but when they don't get completly destroyed, thier insides are interesting:

Haven't posted much in a long time now, but I have been busy with work and other things.
My cool pic is my low power "drawer" amplifier, which is an amplifier that fits in a storage drawer and can be pulled out to test power combiners, drive higher power amps, couplers, etc. I am working on a series of amplifiers to cover a wide range of frequency responses so I can stepwise characterize impedances of Tesla Coils and such.
Here are the prototype "brass board" amp, maxes out at 70W rms in its midband, and typically outputs up to 50W spanning 100KHz to 900KHz. And the pseudo-finished WB-1 amplifier which typically delivers 20W across its powerband. My power goal was at least 25W in this package size, which is a huge amount of power compared to other amps on the market which deliver 1W or so. My WB-1 cannot deliver the 30-50W the prototype can because I over-estimated what the supply could deliver, in short the amplifier is a victim of supply "sag". But that's fine, I don't need much power to characterize combiners, splitters, or drive HPA's, and this is a good start as a piece of standardized equipment in my arsenal.

Nice gun!
Ahhhhh sounds like its time to move….uggggggggggggg Do you have an alarm system in your house?
OK you got me excited. Here a cool pic for you…just in case you are wondering if the new Archangel M1A Precision Stock @ fits a Springfield M1A. After three hours of very careful filing, this new stock just fits snug and tight. Cannot wait till this weekend to try it out indeed! Here turkey, hee hee!
You Americans and your guns.
I have to wait 3 months for my gun licence to clear, then I can only have some less cool toys than you

Hello
I recently finished my plasma sphere so here is some pictures.
If you think the front and top of the wood box seem to be lose it is because they are, so I can take the glass out and re-fill it with Neon or Argon and play with diffrend pressures. It only takes a few minutes to re-fill it and have a completely diffrend plasma. Very amusing in my opinion.
