Why not? He once did- after all, before Eve, how could he speak to Adam?
He also shot the breeze with Cain, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and several
prophets IIRC.
If you throw communication via angels into the mix, the list gets longer.

You can usually get them off pressure washers with bad pumps as those
motors can't be killed short of running them with NO oil and they are
usually high horse powered, 7 to 12.
These motors have high spin and good torque and can get that bike up
to 50mph.( I'd done that for so local yahoo a couple years back for
his camp mini-bike. Saw him last month and he had a pronounced limp so
I guess he got all the speed he wanted.)
You must've missed the part about the sixties. That kart is long gone, now.
I think it crashed when we were pulling it with a horse. Riders (both the
one on the horse, and--thankfully--the one on the cart as well) got off for
refreshments, and the horse decided to make an unscheduled run. I believe a
fence post did it in...stopped the horse, though.
Kids. Somehow I wonder how we survived.....

They quit selling them somewhere around the late 40's, early 50's.
Many were still using them for some time after.
My father was an electrical engineer and we had them well into the
60's.
I remember seeing something similar but they were the old Edison nickel-iron
batteries, used to start emergency generators. They had high self discharge
rates.
They kinda looked like an aquarium with a bolt on top, Which was made
out of something like bakelite.
You'd buy new plates and electrolyte unbolt the case and swap them
out.
The reason they discontinued their use in autos was for safety reasons
of course. One good smash up and you had acid soaked glass shards
flying around.
I never heard of them being used in autos although IIRC Edison wanted to use
them for an electric auto.

Gee,who wants to mess around with sulfuric acid and lead paste?
It`s only a few years ago when I worked in an entertainment venue where
all the emergency lighting was powered by huge glass lead acids, each
about 12" high and wide. there was probably 30 or so cells all connected
together by exposed lead bars bolted to the terminals, you had to watch
where you layed down anything conducting like a spanner!. The charger
was in a filing cabinet sized enclosure with a huge transformer,
selenium plate rectifiers and wobbly meters on the front ;o)

And before the glass case came the lead-lined wooden box cells. Both
wood and glass boxes were still in use in telephone exchanges I worked
at during the late 1950's but they were all gone by the early 60's. I
even installed some of the wooden cased cells (made up from parts
which had been kept in storage for 20 years or more) because there was
a shortge in supply of the new polycarbonate cell types.
Changing plates in these old cells was not so simple and it was never
done where I was. You would simply re-build the complete cell with all
new plates. The interconnects between plates were lead-burned in place
- which was an art in itself - and it was next to impossible to
simply cut one plate out for replacement.

You'll find that amber adhesive on a great deal of car audio gear. It'sI have a circuit board from a car stereo amplifier. My vehicle uses an
amp for each speaker, and this particular amp is well known for having
electrolytic capacitors that go bad. I would like to replace the
capacitors, but the caps in the middle of the board, and the adjacent
inductors were partly covered with an amber colored transparent,
slightly soft potting. I was able to remove enough of it without doing
any damage (except to a couple of the capacitors I will be replacing)
but I'd like to have an idea of what to replace the potting with.
The amp board itself gets enclosed in a shield that acts as a heat sink
for the transistors, which are not near the potting, and the entire
shielded amp goes in a sealed enclosure that also contains the speaker.
So it's pretty isolated from outside environmental factors, and I don't
know enough about this to know what effect the potting has on thermal
issues or anything else, or even why it's needed. It seemed to have
been applied somewhat haphazardly, covering the inductors about half
way each, and burying some of the capacitors part way, and filling some
of the space between them.
Is there some general explanation of why potting would typically be
used here and what I should look for?
What about the Simpson's?You'd have to be raised Roman Catholic, like I was, to thoroughly enjoy

I dearly loved both their portrayals of the Big Number One.
The most subtly scary version of God is the one that shows up in "The

When I watched my old man rebuild them he always replaced all the
plates. Seemed pretty straight forward, unbolt the box cap then the
retaining bolts for the plates and pull them out.
Dump the electrolite, flush case with a neutralizer, put in new plates
and acid and bolt it all back together.(Of course these units were
designed for ease of service)
I did years back restore an old German motorcycle, prewar, called a
Fluka and it had a glass case battery which we had to have custom
plates made for.
This is a followup to my search for a Horiz. Output Transistor for an Apex
TV. I followed the recommendation of substuting a 2SC5150 in place of the
seemingly unavailable 'D2120'. This suggestion is good advice as the set
is
now working fine.
Thanks to all who responded to my original post. Your help is greatly
appreciated.
