    Panasonic 152-inch Quad-HD 3D Television

    I design and specify AV systems for a living. Once and a while we will get a special application where a large flat panel is called for. Most of the time it is eye-candy in a lobby. This thing is big. It cannot be lifted onto its mount or even simply placed on a surface without special...

    inside a wilson 5000 coil part 2

    In that last pic the nut looks like it's on backwards. The curved side is down. Shouldn't it be the other way around? I'm assuming none of that gook is dielectric, just hot glue? sorry if i missed an earlier post, I'm at work ready to bail... .

    History Question

    I agree that the dark side gets omitted. Its good that it comes up for discussion so we can reflect on it. If you ever get the chance to read the "Flyboys" by James Bradley it begins with the the rise of Japan as a power and the brutality used on those they sought to conquer. That...
