$100 is a great price for an Oliver lathe. It has a continuously variable speed control in the headstock. I've used one in a school shop. It is a professional-grade machine.

I have a 500 amp shunt. It specifies a 50 mv meter. 500 amps = 50 mv.

Don't leave out ophthalmologists, either. The one who fixed my cataracts has his own jet aircraft. Some have small buses and pick up 5 or 6 people from elder care facilities at a time for cataract surgery, then deliver them home.

I just got a lower denture implant with 3 sockets to hold a metal bar that the new denture snaps into. The cost was $10K. Not cheap, but I can eat again.

If a vehicle has CANbus systems, lighting can be entirely different. They sometimes furnish 12V continuously to the lights and control them by switching the ground side on and off.

sounds like you were in the Navy, as was I. We had two emergency diesel gensets powered by big 6 cylinder Cooper-Bessemer FSN-6 diesels. The main generators were steam turbines. I was an EN. The ship was a guided missile light cruiser, USS Galveston CLG-3.

The dim light on low beams is probably from a bad ground, usually at the headlamp. Check the ground wires at the point where they are fastened to the body metal.

I had it happen last week. We started pulling outlets, working around the room. That involved pulling books off bookshelves to access unused outlets, all backstabbed. We finally found one with the hot side out. We corrected all of the backstabbed ones and put the room back together. I think it...

Is there a part number on it?
