A Good Weekend So Far

Well, it has been a good weekend so far, except that I had to work some on Saturday morning and this morning (Sunday) was quite hectic at work. However, we shared lunch with some friends and talked about Confirmation next year, and it looks good.

In addition, on Saturday, I bought an old HeathKit amplifier at a garage sale. I was a little disheartened when I realized that one channel had some distortion in it. My oscilloscope is currently out on loan, so I didn't have a good way of tracing the distortion. However, I started comparing voltages between the two channels, especially around the transistors in the circuit (I figured the biasing on a transistor might be off). Before too long, I found that one of the output transistors was bad. Luckily, Radio Shack had one that would work for my application. It sounds good!!!

Now I just hope tomorrow is a continuation of the good weekend!
