I need to make amends to McQ!

Anyone know where I can source the parts I'm gonna need?

(Reece, I think I might need to take some accurate Snark measurements here too...keep that meter handy.... )

    There's a store nearby called "Obtuse and Things". I'd check and see if they have any parts you need.

    See if they have some calibrated meters that will work correctly in a less than ideal environment too.  The parts are not important as the latest idea is that any part will do.  I've got an old washing machine that I may cannibalise for the parts and make a bicycle out of the remainder.

    So the meters are more important.

    TIA

    I asked and they said;

    "Our meters adjust to the listeners personality giving them what they think they need."

    I think the brand name was Play-See-Bow or summat like that.

    Those always work.  Get the expensive ones, they are obviously better.

    I've got an old washing machine that I may cannibalise for the parts and make a bicycle out of the remainder. 

    Will the bicycle have a spin dry cycle.


    That is value add, IMO.

    I've standardized my studio to have "the expensive" ones for every component (parts) whether I need it or not.

    Yup.

    Where's McGQ?

    I'm missing him.  More than any generic part.

    Good call.

    Even recognizing there's work to be done is good progress.
