I ordered a Loricraft PRC6 Record Cleaning Machine early this month, and it arrived today while I was out. I’ve got it unpacked, but not all set up yet. I’m excited to try it, but I know if I do I’ll be up all night playing records and messing with it. So, sleep first. Record cleaning tomorrow.
I have just discovered that the prior owner has put an entirely inappropriate cartridge on my “good” turntable. Not only did they use the cheapest one they could find – it is a Shure, but old and bottom of the barrel when it was new – they used a P-mount on a standard tonearm, which adds weight and made connecting it difficult.
So. Shopping for cartridges. This leads easily down the audiophile rabbit hole, and I don’t want to go too far. (more…)
There are often cardboard stand-ups used for characters on a map when playing a role-playing game. They’e cheaper than minis. Paizo has sets of them they market as “pawns”.
The plastic bases commonly used hold 1/16″ chipboard, perfectly. It’s also numbered 0.06″ or just 0.06. It can sometimes be called Binder’s Board and is used for making book covers. Check the scrapbooking places.
I got a big box of it on eBay – possibly a lifetime supply – for $16, including shipping.
It fits the stands perfectly. I’ll print the art, glue them to the cardboard, and cut them out on the laser cutter at TechShop.
