A WELCOME to everyone that joins in!!

Peta, ofcourse some advertising would always be helpful to making this a success.... This forum has existed since October 6th 2003, online the first time at about 9:00PM CST. Being a couple days old, atleast there's traffic...

I don't know if this forum will be a huge success or not, I created it out of requests from viewers, so we'll see how many actually join... If it takes off, I'll be tickled pink!! If it flops, I'll simply remove it.

A little about me?!?

HMMM I'll give a little info... I've been in the electronics field since 1991, with experience ranging from TV/VCR repair all the way to industrial electronics for a very large and well known manufacturer. I started in computers in 1994, just for a change and something I thought would be more challenging.... First of all, in the computer field, I AM NOT a number cruncher (programmer) YUK!!!!! I'm a hardware/network guy... I can install any OS, repair and make it work, but sitting and typing code is more boring than watching flies mate!! So I stick to hardware!! I get the 'thrill' from coming up with cures for problems, creative and USEFUL mods (this DOES NOT include neon lights and corny batman windows in my cases)...

Before the VP6 was around, Abit's poster child was the BP6, dual celeron board... Being one of the pioneers to run dual Coppermines in my BP6 was quite a thrill... Then came the VP6, and the dreaded crap cap problem... Thus was born PROJECT:VP6, which is over a year old... It can be viewed at www.kabalsrealm.com/systems/projects/vp6/. That single article ultimately led to badcaps.net and this forum... I was shocked at the publicity it drew...

A little inside info?!?
Well, age?! I'll say late 20's and that's close enough... I enjoy dealing with the computers, all of this is just a hobby these days, so if it did flop, it's no loss... I'm also a car nut... (300ZX!!!)... I also enjoy flying immencely, although, no I don't own an airplane... YET!!! Maybe if I sell off all this computer junk, I could afford one... HEH I own 3 domain names, and host sites for a few friends on this array... Of course they pay me nothing... HMMM Ohh well... Money isn't all... That's about all I think needs to be revealed... If there's something you really need to know about me, ask... The answer all depends on the question you asked...

Anyhow,
Peta, and everyone else that has joined, Welcome to the forums!! Bring some friends with ya!! :roll:

This is my my first post just to say a quick hello. I am from central Norway with a long (too long) history of electronics / computer / gadget engineering & repair going back to the old school 80's. Been more leaning towards high level modular repairs than low-level component repairs in recent years given that so many things (especially here in Norway) are classed as a "consumable" item. But I just can't help delving back into component level tinkering.

I subscribe to the the notion that 2 heads are often better than one, and just yesterday at work I was scratching my head with a certain job, so now I'm here to scratch yours (if need be) and hopefully gain some insight and further my knowledge base about caps (amongst other things).

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi there fellow electronic enthusiasts from Omaha, NE. I found this site on the web while searching for problems with a Vizio flat screen. Although at one time (20 years ago) I did electronics repair as an income, it's now just a hobby in my home, mainly working on restoring old antique, and unique TVs and radios. I have restored and completely recapped an RCA 21CT55 (CTC2B) and also an RCA CTC9 color roundies. Also several B&W sets, a 1948 RCA, and a Sylvania Halolight. Also restored the workings of a 1937 Philco radio 37-665. Upon occasion though I will take on a flat screen, computer, or some other more "modern" piece of equipment. I like helping others who also may have problems with something that I might be able to offer advice. I'm 65 years young, and it's amazing how much technology has changed through the years.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I found this site while trying to source parts for a couple of LED sets that are missing an image on the screen... I probably won't be a fountain of information but hopefully I will contribute something of value from time to time. I will update my profile so others can get to know as soon as I get a chance!
