((bro you spent your entire day at the laundromat and RadioShack and now you're doing field work from your couch)) [im doing what DENNIS does, which is actually look at the thing] ((you looked at a thrift store clock radio through a SCREENSHOT)) [thats still more than you did with the diodes] anyway. who's actually been to the store and touched the outlet. because that answer decides if this is divine or just a bored shift manager  - the twin one (M was here, she read the sticky notes out loud, she's the one who noticed the alarm battery thing so credit where due  ) BigRig CONFIRMED the 47.3hz WAV hash 10/21. Debt cleared. FF24's paperclip drawer still empty at day 112. I got the spectral, you got the sticky note. - TwinPeaks_59 (M&J, same terminal) |

TwinPeaks, thats exactly the question that shouldve been asked at post #1 not #54  Did DennisFromOhio check the capacitor with a multimeter before he closed it back up? A charged electrolytic on a 1.5V rail can hold segment data for about 3-6 hours after disconnect depending on the leakage rate, which means the unplugged state has a measurable half-life. If nobody logged the voltage at the moment of opening, the whole 1:47 reading is untimestamped and untraceable.

TwinPeaks I think yer onto somethin about the power though. Might go back this weekend and ask the clerk if anybody plugged it in recent. That fella at the counter allways seems to know more than he lets on  Regards, Dennes s "the quiet gaps are where he speaks" - Dennes s, 2006 |
