Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hello Everyone -
My name is Dale. I am from La Jolla, California where I live now.
I have done a lot of electronic assembly and some minor troubleshooting/repair. Right now I am trying to fix some old KSU phone modules that have static in one or more of the lines and I hope this forum can help me cross reference old capacitors (discontinued) over to new ones.
I've seen many caps on ebay recently that were a perfect fit - but after reading about the fake parts, I think I will pass on buying there. Funny how many different brand name items come from mystery sellers in Hong Kong or China. I'm sure a lot of fakes make it through that website without anyone ever knowing it.
I'm very interested in home automation, computers, computer networks and electronic gadgets. I like tinkering - trying to fix something instead of replacing it. Sometimes I spend more in the long run - but I always learn - and that's worth the expense (once in a while).
Regards,
Dale
