SO, I happen to have a JET J-720R.

I'm an idiot though so I have no idea what sort of vice will fit the damn thing.
it sits very sexily and glares at me for using 2"X4"s and clamps in lieu of a proper vice.
what reasonably priced vice can I get for it?

Hello /diy/

My korean monitor's power adapter burnt out after a thunderstorm. I opened it up and saw that it has two blown capacitors (both 35v 680uf 105 celcius electrolytic)

I replaced them with two capacitors from my old lcd monitor's power supply board, they are both 35v 1000uf 105 celcius electrolytic, closest I can find.

Everything works now, the multimeter output checks out on the 4pin connector, but I'm wondering if I will run into problems in the long run due to higher capacitance rating

My ac adapter is
input 100-240v, 50/60hz
output 24v 5a

Hey /diy/, I've had an idea for a while and I finally have the motivation to try to make it.
Basically, I want to have a 2 or 3-pin power plug connected to a sort of battery to power my speakers wherever I go.
Does anybody have any sort of plans for something like this, or a source where I could find them? I'm not the best electrician, any advice is helpful.

Is "copper" spray paint conductive enough to function as a base for electroplating copper on plastic (i.e: for plating through holes) ? Is it conductive at all?
