I think it's sitting on a green-ish pot(?) just to the center/right of the picture.

Ah, yes! It looks like it has fallen in love with a Posidriv screw-head. Perhaps there are more and would they have different part-numbers dependant on where they are?

Spiders in the plugins? That's nothing! I don't think

mine would work without the spiders and the stinkbugs. For me, it is usually some critter trying to pimp my ride with modifications to the vacuum hoses, wiring harnesses, undercoating, and any sound deadening material. Seriously, cars have been made for what, 150 years? At this point in time, the designers have every millimeter of the body and chassis in a computer, and know where every hole the size of a mouse exists in the chassis. And, they *still* can't keep mice out of cars? For starters, they could stop making them out of tasty food. Wire insulation made out of soy, sound deading made out of corn, and undercoating made out of what?... Cotton candy? Sorry for the diversion of the topic. I just spent another day de-mousing. -Chuck Harris Colin Herbert via groups.io wrote: Look 210mm from the front panel and 91mm from the base. I think it may have |

Besides having to strip out the entire interior, I had to replace some of the A/C components because the mice ate the PVC heating ducts! At least the scopes have metal panels and generally keep out the bigger critters. I have a 555 out in my garage now. We'll see what manages to get into it.

I had an intervention at an ATM where a mouse was caught by the straps that carried the money.I laughed with my colleagues that when it released cash it gave: a banknote, a mouse, a banknote, a mouse ..., you could get your paycheck in new currencies - "the mouse"

Was working late one night on a plug-in made by the "other" test equipment manufacturer. The next morning when I went in to continue I had discovered that the "night crew" had been in there trying to help.

Be glad that is all it did. If there was a "interesting smell" the cat may
pee in or on it. Don't ask how I know...And mine wasn't on the ground.? Randy AB9GO The biggest thing that got into my plugins was my cat. I left a 1S1 on the ground like a slob and my cat wanted to sit on it. As he tried to get on top he used one of the tubes as a foot(paw?)-hold and bent all the pins on the tube.

Never have found mice, but I did have a problem in Colorado years ago while doing a lot of solo mountaineering. Every night I was sleeping in my car (and I'm sure when I was away too), marmots would gnaw on the underside of my car.? Thankfully, they stuck with the undercoating, and left the wiring and brake lines alone!? I always checked before driving to the next spot.

About the same time, I drove from somewhere in the southern Sierras to Newport beach (SoCal). When I arrived, I wanted to check my oil, so I popped the hood, and something jumped out and ran off.? Probably a large ground squirrel- I'm sure it was really confused, but thankful to be out of the engine compartment! -Dave On Monday, June 29, 2020, 08:19:53 AM PDT, Chuck Harris <cfharris@...> wrote:

One of our cats loves to pee in interesting places, so the Tek gear stacked in my office always has to have "uncomfortable" items placed on top to keep the cat off.? The other cat I don't have to worry about- the only place she pees is on the floor in front of the litter boxes...

What is the thing it's sitting on? An adjustable coil?
