a bin full of plugs and sockets that have been cut off of power cables, vga cables, serial cables, phone chargers, usb cables...
this is what happens to every cable you throw away. think about that before you get rid of that box of computer cables you've been hoarding since 1997
as someone who designed a commercial fencing scoring machine, this is very cool!

a programmable AC power supply with a British plug installed in the front panel. it's set to 100V at 83.3Hz.
it's a breakout cable for this guy
British plug with a wire going to a 86mm electrical box with a Swiss triple 3-pin outlet that is now illegal there because it isn't recessed. two banana cables are plugged into one of the outlets.
just kidding, I cut the US plug off since I just needed the cable. had to make this adapter.
Did you work on making these for STC back in the day? Know someone who did? Since 2016 I’ve been the STC repository and I’m looking for help on the Plessey MR9735 Teleview video generator.

i needed a cable with a white outer jacket with a 300V rating. couldn't be too picky about the color codes...
this cable is brand new. 😅
finally, someone noticed the real problem.
white cord with a British plug at one end and an American 3 prong plug at the other!

British fuse plug but the wire colors are black, white, and green!

that's funny, it looks like a door to me
friend of mine once summited mount everest without injury, came back, and was working out at the gym and broke her ankle.
wouldn't it suck to trip over the doorway while exiting the capsule and break a leg or something?
nobody knows why. it just has to be this way.
it's taking so long for the same reason that you get your luggage down from the overhead compartment and just stand in the aisle with everyone else waiting
