January 30, 20251 yr Popular Post comment_350984 I bought one of these many years ago. I was never happy with the pigtails it produced, so after I got my first ROS, it's been sitting in the (well somewhere). After reading all the glowing reviews of it in the 1980s FWW, I decided to get it out and give it another try. As you might expect, the foam pad was completely disintegrated. Knowing the PC is essentially a dying breed, I just pulled out some felt pad, punched some holes in it and will give it a try. The pad was stuck to a metal frame so I'll be using that on the felt pad. \ Report
