@davee,

That's cool too!  You actually learned something out of your experience and followed on with a vast warehouse of EE knowledge that we all pick your brain for now. 😎 Thank you!

Dad was a military pilot.  Although, he got an engineering degree from VA loans... he couldn't fly a desk.  😆  His words.  He went commercial by the mid '60s.  He had built all his stereo system with HeathKits while in the military and I remember the HeathKit TV being the last one he did.  I'm sure that commercial pilot salary had more to do with that stopping, but I remember it taking many months to build.  The build manual was dumbed down to anyone that could solder, could build it.  I was in charge of getting all the parts ready for the next step while he soldered the current step.  I also remember the color bar tuning he did (that you understand how and why).  I remember it being a colorful learning experience (visibly and vocabulary) but couldn't recite a thing learned beside resistor color codes.   

VBR,

@inq Another advantage of LiFePO4 drop-in replacement Lithium car batteries is NO liquid, so we can save a wee bit of paper without having to print the do not drink warning.
