Re: An odd bipolar transistor effect......
Then chances are (in fact it is almost guaranteed) they are Germanium. But if you bought a 1N34 today, it might not be. Andy

... to see if glass diodes emit any detectable light . . .
You won't need a scope or night vision, just turn out the lights and peel off packing tape hard and fast . . . Most likely works with other tape as well. -- *G.T.*

Re: An odd bipolar transistor effect......
Just an FYI - I am told that "most" Germanium diodes sold today are not the Germanium diodes they originally were.? Instead, they are Schottky diodes, Silicon-based, packaged with Ge diode part

Re: Lock washer and nut for BNC bulkhead connector ??
Apologies! I need to re-read the original question. My thread info was for the chassis mounted BNC to soldered wire. Will have to find a *BULKHEAD* BNC- BNC and measure I'm sure the bulkhead will

Re: Lock washer and nut for BNC bulkhead connector ??
Finally found my Starrett thread gauge. Two types of BNC bulkhead mounts: the 3/8 inch is definitely 3/8-32; the 1/2 inch, which insulates the BNC shell from the panel, is 1/2 27, as near as these 90

Re: Avoidable accidents
I had a similar "accident" while working on a cuckoo clock. One set of chains dropped onto a plug not fully pushed into the socket. Needless to say I had to replace the set of chains. Dan Kahn

Heh. (...) Or grab the end bit that you're trimming off with a pair of pliers... If you look at some datasheets for transistors, they specify a maximum "G" force for the part. That's what gets applied
