Yamaha FX/FS Series Schematics
Here are schematics for the Yamaha FX/FS series of organs. I’m scanning in what I have which are the schematics for the FX-3 and additional content for the FS-300/500. These schematics are applicable to: FX-3 FS-300 FS-500 FS-70 FS-50 If you have a different model than listed above this will still be useful because most […]

Jaguar X350 Clock Removal
Here are instructions on removing the clock from an X350. I’ll try to remember to update this with photos as time goes by. 1. Pull the center console. Two screws under the shifter surround and two screws behind the floor vents in the back bottom of the console. Remove the rear vents and disconnect the […]

Fun with Nouns and Verbs
Today I said, “I need to estimate an estimate?” and got interested in words with different pronunciations when used as nouns or verbs. Which led to… Allow me to present and project my present project: A reject suspect, I suspect, you will reject. She is an escort–some would say an object. But I object to […]

Synth and Musical Equipment Repairs
It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything with this site. But I’ve been doing a lot of repairs that folks might find useful. So, rather than bore my friends with instant messages or rarely post anything on Facebook, I figure here’s a good place to bore random visitors. You’re welcome! For instance, here’s […]

Mounting a GPS to the Overhead Console in a Land Rover Discovery II
I wanted to mount my GPS without having cables all over the place or having it somewhere that doesn’t seem well-integrated. Fortunately, the overhead console in the Discovery is a perfect location. The real advantage is that the device is hidden from obvious view outside the car, so thieves won’t be tempted by it. My wife […]

Replace Missing Land Rover Discovery 2 SAI Studs
I think I’ll do a little article about SAI later on. There’s a lot of confusing information out there about the system and whether it can/should be removed. But in the meantime, let’s assume you’re keeping it and dealing with the massive hassle of the brackets. The mounting bracket is attached to metal flex pipe […]

New Land Rover Discovery 2
After 20 years of being a Land Cruiser guy I’m making the switch to Rover. My old truck has an engine problem I could easily have fixed years ago, but with a kiddo and limited garage space I think it’s time to let it go to someone who can give this truck the love it […]

Doctor Who Doctor Review: Colin Baker
Oh Colin Baker, who’s fault are you? I had wondered before starting in with his episodes if I would agree with the common wisdom that he’s the worst of the doctors since I tend to disagree with Who fans about what makes a good episode good. But yes, this is the worst of the doctors, […]

Doctor Who Doctor Review: Peter Davison
Time for another Doctor Who Doctor Review: Peter Davison I’m waiting to watch the last available Patrick Troughton episode before I review him, and still have season 16 of Tom Baker to watch (which I forgot). But, I’ve also moved through the Davison years and am in the midst of Colin Baker now. And boy, […]

Doctor Who Doctor Review: Jon Pertwee
I’ve just finished watching all of the Jon Pertwee episodes of Doctor Who. While there are no bad doctors, per se, I find his portrayal to be one of the weaker ones. His bad qualities of being rather patrician, snippy, and generally a bit insulting sometimes outweigh the fact that he’s one of the few […]
