<\/p>\n<p>I had the Plexiglas from some old , old project that never got done\u2026 not sure why but had a nice big sheet of 1\/4 inch plex and it worked out great for this seal job\u2026 I know the power supply looks old and ratty but hey, I had 5 of them back in the <a class=\"StrictlyAutoTagAnchor\" href=\"http:\/\/ishmaels.net\/blog\/tag\/day\/\" title=\"View all articles about day here\">day<\/a> (late 80\u2019s)&#160; and they will run 13 volts at 40 amps 24\/7, or almost that much\u2026 I also put feet on this <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> that the others never had\u2026 I may have to try and fix the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> that got zapped? so I can have a spare\u2026 looked them up and they still make this model but it is $350 bucks for a new one.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>No need to polish and paint it\u2026 it sets down under the cabinet, hidden other than the digital read out is now visible.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I got some replacement parts for my radios that were zapped last week, and spent some time working on that little problem\u2026 the easy <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> worked fine ( replaced the HF antennas tuner) \u2026 just swap out the old for the new and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plug<\/strong> it in and it worked fine\u2026 but the replacement preamp and power unit for the magnetic loop\u2026 failed.&#160; I spent 3 hours swapping out the preamp (that antennas is out in the back yard)\u2026testing the coax, checking the power cubes and various other tests and it would not come up, then I also realized that something was wrong with my RCV antennas relay unit\u2026 it turned on, the relays would click , like they should, but it never swapped off the main antenna\u2026 suspect that the relay contacts are welded onto the main antennas port, so <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> more items added to the burnt up list\u2026 Until I get another computer I won\u2019t be doing much HF work.&#160; I prefer digital modes and that requires some computer hook up\u2026 although I may get antsy and hook up the laptop at some point, but not yet\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>I am also finding that the old laptop that had been running the security cameras is acting flakey\u2026 or maybe the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> of the cameras is causing some problem?&#160; not sure\u2026 but it looses connection at odd times and recently it just shuts it self off\u2026 it will start back up and run fine for a <a class=\"StrictlyAutoTagAnchor\" href=\"http:\/\/ishmaels.net\/blog\/tag\/day\/\" title=\"View all articles about day here\">day<\/a> or tow then poof\u2026 will shut off\u2026 so it may have taken some hit via the network? geez, just keep adding little things that appear ok but in the end are not.<\/p>\n<p>So more later as I continue to work through all this.&#160;
