Your mods are still the best! Your website full of AA5 mods was among the first I bookmarked back in '95, never imagining 22 years later you'd still be banging out improvements, what-the-hecks, and "What if I...." sets.

Keep it up, wise one!

Yep. His homepage is among my very oldest faves, from about '97 when I first got internet access. He's hands down the Grand Master of AA5 modding/hotrodding and a lot of related neat stuff too.

Bob Casey is in a "mode" I wish I could forever be in - playing with electronics. I had 6 months of "free time" back in 1989-1990, at sea on the Forrestal. I was selected to go to the cal lab as a repair tech - they had a backlog of both calibration items and repair items, and I was given a chance to prove myself, so I did, working myself out of a job, and right into "play mode" - building noisemakers, fixing discarded/off-inventory Fluke meters (13 of them...) and I even got to fix an arcade machine for the officer's wardroom. Then it was on to VCR repair for crewmembers (all idlers and belt kits..). My last big project was an old Wavetek function generator - all analog wave shaping, and the dang thing went to microHertz. In pulse mode, I had to wait 10,000 seconds to see an output, so off to chow while it transitioned. I never went back to that mode again - all work in other specialties, with an ever-increasing management role.

Play on Bob....

His entries inspired me on a few of my little projects. I also used his formula for my capacitance-reactance voltage drop calculations, to replace bad resistance line cords and ballast tubes.
BTW, Bob calculated the C/R voltage drop for 125 volts, instead of 120 volts, for the Admiral, which is a good policy.

That was one of the first websites I ever visited - back when I was still in elementary school! It helped cement what turned out to be a lifelong interest in electronics.
