No problem. We Americans don't use the word that way - nostalgia is the happy longing for the old ways. Every tool has it's uses.

Hi Peter
Please excuse the delay to answer you. And yes, this “organized chaos” is exactly what women hate. And this happens just because they cannot understand the reason you refer to…Anyway when the term “woman” becomes “wife” things are getting harder for us but fortunately, working with electronics, we have a lot of patience and understanding about their point of view!

Greetings

Hello Robert
Please excuse my delay to answer you. In fact it seems to be not so easy to follow up all of these comments in our published articles!
Perhaps the analog instruments are obsolete in our digital era, nevertheless they are in closer relation to the nature of the (analog of course) signals they measure. I personally prefer to see the sudden jumps of a needle pointer when I observe an audio signal instead of the bar graph of a digital multimeter. Those classical VU meters in audio amplifiers were irreplaceable I think.
I also agree with the observation about the X10K Ohms range. Perhaps there are still applications for it which never came in my thoughts up to now.
As for “nostalgia”, I will simply give you the original translation of it and you will be filled with much more relevant feelings. So, “nostalgia” is “the sweet pain that memories bring you, making you to realize that you are a foreigner in some place and forcing you to get back where you belong to”. It comes from “nostos” (= return) and “algos” (=pain, distress, etc). Its original meaning refers to “the sickness of the immigrants”.

My greetings to you

Hi Guys,
Like most hobbyists our little room or lab is what I call an organized chaos, a perfect workplace where we know where things are supposed to be.The purpose why we keep so much junk around is for the precious parts we salvage from them to make other stuff work. The wife just do not comprehend. Great Articles. Always an inspiration for simple hobbyist like me.

Good job, Paris. Thanks to people believing analog VOM's are obsolete, I was able to get a BK Precision 114A in mint condition very cheap! The simple fact that many overlook is that the VOM with the X10K has the 9V battery that added with the 2 AA batteries gives the meter more voltage than most DMM's. Plus, I supposed nostalgia has something to do with it also.
