For readers with a Wolverine 8mm film digitiser (rather than the Kodak Reels) I have put together the following resource article containing the files and instructions on how to hack the Wolverine to record at a higher resolution and compression quality. Thanks to Steve @Mac84 for finding all the...

There are a number of budget 8mm film digitisers available, the two most well known are probably the Kodak Reels and the Wolverine, and I purchased a Wolverine back in 2021. The Wolverine is actually available in two versions: the base model for $300 USD and the Wolverine Pro for $400. The main...

It’s time to put forward nominations for new members of the Tinker Different Board. As per the Governance Policy, the board is split into Groups A and B, with the term for group A concluding at the end of 2024. The governance policy also specifies no more than two consecutive terms can be held...

I'll be sure to check that out. I've finished distilling all the alcohol I have here. It wasn't just alcohol I use for resin printing, it was also the alcohol I use for rinsing repaired logic boards. That alcohol has ended up with lots of water mixed in and the distillation allowed me to...

I very nearly bought one like that but opted for a larger unit. I now regret my decision.

What sort of distiller are you using? Can you please post a link?

Anyone who does resin printing knows that an inconvenient side effect of the cleaning process is accumulating large amounts of cloudy, goopy, resin-saturated isopropyl alcohol. Iso alcohol is needed to get the excess resin off printed models, but the alcohol doesn't dissolve the resin, it just...

Can you believe it's three years already? The Tinker Different board is broadcasting their third anniversary livestream, with a tour of some of the latest fantastic and ingenious projects posted on the Tinker Different Forum, followed by a Q&A session. These livestreams are always a lot of fun...

Following Ron's resignation from the board role of Director of Admins/Mods due to personal reasons, the Tinker Different Board of Directors has voted to fill the vacant position in accordance with the Board Governance Policy. Effective immediately, Colin of This Does Not Compute will fill the...

The Tinker Different board has published a governance policy to clearly define roles and expected comportment of current and future board members. Tinker Different has rules regarding the conduct of members, so we felt it was prudent to define and impose rules upon ourselves as well. The...

This month the Tinker Different board will be broadcasting their first livestream for 2024, with a tour of some of the latest fantastic and ingenious projects posted on the Tinker Different Forum, followed by a Q&A session. It's going to be a lot of fun and we invite you to join us and be part...

Finding the right balance of having a separate section for everything, without it getting overly convoluted and bewildering is a challenge. We try and cater for as many interests as we can, without reaching a point where no one can find anything. While we don't have a section specifically named...

The board has recently received a request to include "gender identity", "gender expression" and "sex" be added the to anti-discrimination section of the code of conduct. The excerpt in question currently reads as follows: The current omission of "gender identity", "gender expression" and...

Thanks Colin, Yes, every other tant cap of the same physical size on the card is a 10µf 16V, so my guess is the missing one is the same, but I just wanted to be certain.

Hi all, I have a RasterOps 8XL NuBus graphics card and it's missing a tantalum capacitor from location C50 (see pictures). Every other tant cap of the same size on the board is 10µf 16V, so my guess is the missing one is the same, but I'd like to be certain. If anyone else has one of these...

I'm really sorry James, but I couldn't find my Radius Thunder 24/GT anywhere. I'm pretty sure I have one, but it must be installed in one of the Macs I have in storage. Most of the display cards I've tried with the Radius Rocket have worked fine, but I do recall one of them didn't unfortunately...

Hi James, I'm pretty sure I have both, so I'll check for you.

I suspect that if you'd left the computer long enough it would have eventually mounted. Was the activity light illuminated while it was stuck in this state? If so, I think it was probably rebuilding the desktop on your BlueSCSI drive, but it was performing very slowly because of the card format...

That one looks pretty good to me. It has 360W of cleaning power, which means it will have 6 x 60W transducers. The rule of thumb is 25W per litre of liquid, so 360W is perfect for 15L. It has 600W heating power, which is a lot, so it should heat up nice and quickly. The price looks good too.

Here's an early release preview of my contribution to the 2024 PowerPC Challenge. I hope you enjoy it!
