Just noticed that my local supplier of cheap electronic toys (Maplin
- like Radio Shack, but in the UK) is offering digital camera PSUs.
These are the typical adjustable voltage wall-warts, but they can
supply up to 2A, which is usable for de-rusting. Cost is £15, which
is expensive for a cheapskate recycler like myself, but cheaper than
the $50 someone recently quoted.
Mind you, I think £15 must be nearly $50 by now, with the way the
dollar is collapsing.

A wall wart, or DC power supply unit.

I mixed up some poly and I'm going to use it on all the cherry/walnut
mahogany stuff I've been building. After I stain it "light natural"
Minwhacks.
Nyah.

Hey, that's *my* name. Or it almost was. I was a gnat's hair away from
being named Valentine Michael instead of David Michael.
As far as classical education, well, I hafta admit I wouldn't be where I am
today without Latin. I met SWMBO in Latin 101.
I can't read Latin worth a damn now though. I don't think I could conjugate
a verb in more than a couple of tenses or decline my way out of a wet paper
bag.

Ouch...thanks a lot!
actually it's $27.54

I'm still not sure why the PS problem is so daunting. Radio Shack sells
transformers pretty cheap although any low voltage unit should do if it has the
amps and a full wave rectifier isn't much either. I figure $10 US should do it.
I also wonder why an old PC supply wouldn't work. (lots of them will start "no
load") I haven't had a chance to try this but I hope to soon.

I put my old battery trickle charger on the tub (this electrolysis is
neat stuff!)
I put my true RMS meter on it and read 3.5 AC on top of 9.5v DC.
Amperage has dropped off but I feel this is due to the lawn mower blade
I cut to make 2 electrodes needs cleaning. Plus is could probably use
some fresh solution.
I'm going to try an old power supply I have someplace around here. I
should get my old P5/100 power supply and see what it does, I doubt it's
shot fan bearings will make a difference, at least in the beginning.

Yeah. Those are encrypted porn, BTW. I knew all about it once, but I've
forgotten. Some encryption algorithm that reduces a binary to a series of
pseudo-logical sentences. I had a decoder once, I think, and it was indeed
porn.
BTW, I must have missed the thread. I can't believe you didn't have
something nasty to say about the caloric content of nuts after I provoked
you so blatantly.
