Ha, ha! Jon, you might want to save that well chewed I.C. As a 10 year old kid fascinated by "radio", my sable collie decided to taste the binding of my prized, hardbound ARRL handbook - my first "radio book" that I read so often I can almost recite whole paragraphs today.
He made a pretty mess of one corner, chewing through the cover into the glue along the spine. I patched it up with some cellophane tape and probably glared at him a lot for a long time, but he was my "best bud" throughout my teenage years. He died a decade later while I was away in the Army. Half a century later I still have that book sitting on the shelf, and every time I see or hold it I remember my old friend. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- How embarrassing is this? As I was working on the KPA100 last night, the EL5146CN op-amp (a small 8-pin IC) slipped out of my fingers and fell to the floor - right in front of the idiot lab/pit mix who promptly decided to taste it. She didn't swallow it (fortunately), but it's well chewed and I have to order a replacement from Elecraft. Why me?
