    Any Comcast gurus here?

    Too much signal is bad as well, that's why I wonder about your amplifier. knowing the specific channel/s where the digital service/s travels through, will tell a tech if the trouble is at the modem/box, splitter, ground block or tap. I'm out of touch with today's CATV services; wish I could help...

    How many outlets do you have? Your amp shows few connected; maybe a 4-way splitter be better but knowing the signal strength at different frequencies would for sure tell you if there's a real need for an amp. If you decide to have a service call on the Comcast line, ask for an In-house...

    Any Comcast gurus here?

    I used to carry an amp or two with me but were just in case of real need; homes with lots of rooms and 8-way splitters sometimes and rarely, needed an amp. A good tech would get the ladder out or the pole steps, climb up the pole (or the underground tap, piece of cake) measure at the tap and...

    Any Comcast gurus here?

    ...too much cable affects signal loss but it has to be quite an amount of loose cable. In SF, coax has to be quad shielded due to the insane amount of signal from today's technology. Most coax is labeled with the dB loss per 100' if I recall correct. Normally is about a bad connection somewhere...

    Any Comcast gurus here?

    What is the reason you have an amplifier? If the signal is good, there wouldn't be a need to amplify it; the issue with installing a signal amp is that you amplify noise as well. I've been out of hanging off the poles for 15 years and things have changed a lot. check the connectors at the ground...

    Although I haven't done much lately, I like bass fishing; Lake Merced in SF has a few lunkers there; my personal best 13 and 1 oz, previous to that one, a 9 pounder back in 1990. Fly fishing and spinning for trout. Got a pole and reel for salmon but it hasn't happened yet. No saltwater since...

    Sand blasting place?

    Ideally re-chrome the wheels but is much cheaper to buy new ones than all the work involved to 'restore" them. IfI go the route of sandblasting them, then I'd paint them so they are at least protected from the elements. I'll be checking and getting quotes. Dayton Wire Wheels reproduce these with...

    Meshmez's IM EXT 112

    At first I had a hard time because I wanted it to be a perfect seam but gave up. Ran the brush along the edge with plenty of solvent/glue (gray); worked the bottom and opposite sides, then I bonded the other two pieces. Keeping them upright was the most challenging part but some full soda cans...

    I made a “tub” out of PVC sheet from TAP Plastics; I believe it was 1/4” It’s in the cube cabinet at Seven Stills; maybe @Tim Obert can snap a picture of it?

    Rust inhibitors, neutralizers or what not?

    Thx, I’m looking into products for hard to reach-next-to-impossible places. Inside bottom of the doors have rust. I’m gonna try my luck at polishing some pot metal pieces. Bumpers have surface rust and I’m using a flap wheel to remove it. Have to start a piggy bank so I can have at least the big...

    Rust inhibitors, neutralizers or what not?

    I'm working on a little project at home, in the garage area... Been disconnected from and neglected my little ride for years now and want to give it the attention it requires. I know for quite some time of Por15 to be used to "neutralize" surface rust. There's also Rust Mort and some others on...
