RIP Bob Heil. I learned so much from him.
Yup! Have one of those Shack Amps! Used it for audio signal tracing when I worked on commercial radio gear. I run the labels along the length of the cables and protect the label with clear heat shrink tubing. Works like a charm. The main reason why the Sharpie markers are no longer permanent ever since the went to alcohol based ink. When they used the old and now banned hydrocarbon based get high in the scent solvents there were never issues with fading. Tried one of the new UV markers, they are NOT permanent like the old Brinks UV markers.
There is a ribbon within the label tape cartridge and it’s a thermal transfer ribbon. It’s best to print out a bunch of labels at a time and spacing the print by hitting the space bar about six times before entering the second title. You only waste a bit on the leading edge of the tape/shrink tube. If on worries about the print rubbing off just add some clear heat shrink over the first tube.
We do likewise, Dymo labels (with correct orientation) and clear heat shrink, but only good if the plugs aren't already affixed...
FYI, You can exchange your broken Craftsmen tools at Lowe's.
Well at least here they hose you though. It has to be for the exact model number, and when Lowe's and Ace Hardware started carrying Craftsman, they changed all the model numbers, so if you have an old tool that you bought at Sears, they won't honor it.
Guys, fyi, I found a RS mini amplifier on ebay. Same model number. Great show! n5of
