I've finally come around to realizing that I'm just not going to finish a couple electronics projects I set aside a few years back. If anyone is interested in post-war tube audio, I have, free to a good home: - Dynaco PAS-2 preamplifier - Dynaco Stereo 70 power amplifier All the bits are there, including tube complements, and I've had both working quite well in the past. The selenium rectifiers have been replaced, but I started, but did not finish, replacing the power supplies and can capacitors with modern components. They'll need that work finished before they can play music. I should mention that the power amplifier is heavy. If you're interested, you'll probably want to put them in a vehicle: car, truck, bicycle trailer, &c. I should also mention that while these could be great first projects in tube audio, anyone working on these kinds of circuits should be mindful of electrical safety. Voltages are high, and power supply capacitors can store dangerous amounts of energy. I have a homemade capacitor discharge tool if you want it. Relatedly, I also have a TubeDebot 6L6 kit amplifier in good working order, also free to a good home. I'm not sure if the model is exactly the same, but here's the manufacturer's current page: https://tubedepot.com/products/model-16ls-stereo-integrated-tube-amplifier It's a neat little amp, quite powerful, takes line-level input, and has a built-in volume knob, so you can use it for phones or computers or MP3 players without preamplification. I was gifted a smaller TubeDepot ready-made amp some time after buying the kit, which is why the kit amp sits quiet. Special thanks to Jake for encouraging me to mention on this list. I'm not currently subscribed to sudo-discuss, so please make sure to copy me.

3D printer repair

by Koz

Hi all, Just came by Sudo Room tonight, and I met a guy named Zirk there (pretty sure I'm not spelling his name right, but that's how it sounded). He knew his way around, and told to email you all. I'm just looking for someone who knows how to repair 3D printers, specifically the SLA kind. Can anyone help, or can point me to someone who can? Best, Koz

I expect to have time for that after the weekend. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Jenny Ryan" <jenny(a)jennyryan.net> To: "sudo-discuss" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] E-waste Program reminder & request Date: Sat, Nov 2, 2019 10:24 PM If anyone could please help with this task, it's a relatively simple one: Omni's recycling service provider is CiviCorps, an awesome local org.

asked Gwen to leave

by Dante Cassius

Hi everyone, I know we discussed at the last meeting Gwen slamming the door in someone's face when she asked to use the bathroom. There was another incident that went down the exact same way a few days ago, and tonight there was another that prompted me to ask Gwen to leave. I was sitting in the small classroom and heard Gwen answer the door, and shouted "it's 50,000 a month, are you going to help pay for this place, huh, are you" in a very aggressive tone, but she allowed the person in to use the bathroom. As the person was leaving, Gwen shouted "YOU'RE WELCOME" repeatedly in an extremely snotty tone. I heard this myself, confirmed I'd heard correctly with the woman who used the bathroom, and then asked Gwen to leave. To her credit, she simply said "no problem" and left immediately. This is a completely unacceptable way to answer the door at Omni. I'm not sure if Gwen if a sudo member, but I strongly feel whichever collective she belongs to should call her in and have a conversation about this. At the same time, I feel we have the responsibility not to pretend this problem is limited to Gwen and at the next sudo meeting we need to brainstorm ways to reform the door policy to be more inclusive.

A blockchain network to enforce policies for decentralized organizations

by Louis Huang

Hi sudoroom, Everything going well on your ends? I haven't been able to keep up to date with the happenings of the collective. Anyways, I'm writing because I recently stumbled upon on a blockchain system which allows for trust-less enforcement of decentralized organization policies. I found the project intriguing and wanted to run this past the community to see what people think about the structure. Using a set of voting classes and judicial review classes written into contracts, the network they built provides transparent governance for the viewing and participation in important decision for open groups. The blockchain network in question is called Aragon. Linked is the white paper for reference: https://github.com/aragon/whitepaper Also written in JavaScript/Solidity, right up sudoroom's alley. Let me know what you guys think. - Louis

Kristine, I will forward your email to the Sudo room makerspace in oakland, they might want them for their computer lab. ----- Sudoers! Free computers, is anyone at the Omni interested in them?
