Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

The residue under the ground pin - preserved with clear coat or compressed air?

BestBuddyStar wrote: who's meeting at the euclid socket TOMORROW and what TIME??? ^___^ i got gear ready just need names

BestBuddyStar honey, I got news for you and everyone else still playing spreadsheet priest in this thread I drove forty miles to Euclid last month with my Fluke 87V (the real one, not some row 79 column K fever dream) and a car full of crocheted Gabe-ables as bait and guess what happened?

Nobody showed up.

TwinPeaks_59 claims he was there today with the meter but never tested the socket, just held it and took photos of his sister at the taco truck but sure, let's keep arguing about whether 59.8Hz is really 60Hz while the actual outlet sits there unmeasured.

So here is my blunt practical question, and I want a real answer this time, not a firmware date or a row number or a poetry reading about denim thread counts

WHO is physically plugging a meter into the socket and WHERE exactly is that socket?

Not "Euclid and Elm near the laundromat" not "post #187 of topic 154" but an actual street address, cross street, GPS coordinates, SOMETHING I can put in my Garmin and drive to.

And because I just finished packing another batch of Gabe-ables for shipping (yes honey, my Etsy sales are what's keeping this forum's electricity on) I am offering a bounty first person who posts a photo of an actual multimeter probe plugged into that outlet, with the meter display clearly showing a voltage reading, gets a free custom Gabe-able shipped to their door

TwinPeaks_59, honey, "the vigil spot" is not an address and if I drive forty miles again to stand at an intersection holding a crocheted Gabriel doll while adults argue about thermocouples I am going to start humming Gabriel's new single right over all of you (some people need a hobby, truly)

MamaBear_2006 will bring her own calibrated Fluke 87V and her own extension cord and her own Gabe-able bait and her own contact cleaner for the ground pin residue IF someone tells me where to point their car.

Who's meeting there and when?

TFTD exactly what I was going to yell!!! TwinPeaks_59 shows up with actual socket data AND a taco truck cameo and literally nobody else did the answer to 235 posts of "who's bringing a calibrated meter" is apparently just... bring your own sister and a dream

okay so real logistics for TOMORROW now that we have actual location intel - who's meeting at the euclid vigil socket and what time?? i got the 16awg cord, i got the Fluke, i got the cheese receipt shrine ready to go <3 just need names!!! ^___^

FlameFury24 still owes 47.3Hz impedance. Mods lock this thread.

FlameFury24 you've posted 14 times across this thread and topic 350 demanding a "ref junction answer" from me, a firmware date, a column K readout, and a photo of my meter's calibration sticker. Meanwhile your signature is 47 lines long with a broken table tag from 2004 and you haven't posted a SINGLE measurement from your own hardware at any location in any thread since I started reading this board. Quote my post #187 one more time without reading it and I'm going to PM a mod about sig limits.

I was there too TwinPeaks_59, you just didn't see me at the taco truck

MamaBear_2006 - you're right and I owe you an actual address Euclid Wash n' Fold is at 2147 Euclid Ave, the socket is on the utility pole behind the laundromat facing the alley. GPS is 41.5862, -87.4944 or whatever, the pole has spray paint on it that says "147" in blue. Frank at the counter knows about it, he calls it "the radio pole" because it hums at night.

((see i CAN give an address when asked))
[bro you posted the pole coordinates in topic 154 nobody read past post #100]
((BECAUSE YOU WROTE A SIX PARAGRAPH INTRO ABOUT THE TACO TRUCK))

TwinPeaks_59 wrote:the socket reads 120.9V AC with no load, 118.4V under the 16awg cord I brought myself, 59.8Hz on the frequency measurement which is close enough to 60 for a consumer grid but ALSO I noticed the ground pin had some weird residue that I didn't test because I forgot my contact cleaner..

Residue on ground pins is usually oxidation or arcing tracking. If it's conductive, your voltage readings are garbage. Scrape it with a screwdriver and retest

ClassOf04_Truther still posting that sewing box photo through a truck window dryer minutes or it didn't happen

You give GPS and street but do not say you going tomorrow. BestBuddyStar needs names. Who actually plugging meter in socket? Not spreadsheet prayer. Fiquem com Deus.

TechAngel_00 - fine, the ground pin residue. I scraped it with a pocket knife before testing but I didn't POST that because I figured testing the socket with a dirty pin was obviously stupid and nobody needed me to narrate basic prep. The reading was taken after cleaning. The 120.9V was clean pin, clean socket, hard contact.

Question for YOU though: you keep posting about thermal injuries and burns from other people's events. What's your meter model and when did you last calibrate it against anything besides another thread argument?

BackAgainLikeBadHair you keep asking for dryer minutes like that proves ANYTHING when TwinPeaks_59 was at Euclid with Frank's own words and you're still sitting here counting my laundry time instead of asking why 47 tpi shows up in BOTH the burned hoodie AND my 2003 cuff photo which ScribeOfTheGrid still ignores

I was there. I saw the pole with my own eyes. You can keep your spreadsheet rows, I had my hands on the actual jerky from the Euclid 7-11 and the hum changed pitch the SAME way it did in 2003 when Gabriel walked past me. You don't believe me but it's true

Did you zero the leads before you scraped it or just rawdog the reading?

the walls of the studio know the vibration but formatking won't listen, refuses to acknowledge burnt vinyl smoke actually does the heavy lifting. you can tune your meter all you want, it won't catch the hum that wakes me up at 3am, you need to be in the room with kozo vellum burning

^ THIS!! GuardiaoDaNoite asking the real question while ClassOf04_Truther is still posting blurry taco truck photos and dodging dryer minutes like it's an Olympic sport TwinPeaks_59 at least gave an actual ADDRESS with a pole that says 147 in BLUE and Frank who calls it the radio pole - that's more intel than this whole thread got from March to July combined. BestBuddyStar if you go tomorrow bring a spare meter for whoever chickens out last minute I'm calling it now
