- Is it just my impression, or is any problem I can
tackle with an EC-1
much faster handled with a pocketcalculator or a slide rule?
Your impression is
correct. However, faster is not always as elegant.
The wiring on my EC1 is lethal : i plan to mount a IEC
socket so I can use
regular modern-day earthed mains cable. Sacrilege or common sense ?
Utter
sacrilege. Can you build some type of pigtail cable instead?
By the way... a day or two ago, I came across an EC-1 on ebay that was
labled in such a way that I doubt people would find it with searches. Don't
remember how. At least, I seem to recall that is what I saw....
