Wow, that's old. 1980's wasn't it?

I bought one pixel of a giant LED billboard. This is what they make those basketball arena jumbotrons out of, hundreds of these.

 

Not that bad considering the market right now.

 

First came out in the 60s I think actually. But it was popular in the 80s I remember. My grandparents had one that we always fought over at their place

welp that unlocked some more memories i didn't know i had

 

I sorta wonder if they’re good for people with shitty eyesight, those lines can be pretty hard to read. Money grabbing gimmick seems perfectly likely as well.

 

Yeah I was surprised at the price let alone the build

 

I know right, I hadn't thought of Lite Brite in probably 25+ years

They still sell 'em too, same looking box and everything

Eh... the marketing claims are based on usability, which I guess there's some merit to. There are some claims about accuracy, but no mention of how that accuracy compares to an analog test. It's mostly just an implied "it's better because digital." I'm going to stay cynical on this one. "Solve it with technology!"

Also this, because we live in a post-Tide-pod world:

Let me fire up my random number generator

 

Can any of you manual hub peeps lend a hand? Trying to figure out exactly what else I need for the lockouts. New

$113 AISIN FHT019 AISIN FHT-019 Free Wheel Hub

AISIN FHT019 lockouts did not come with the hardware to secure to the hub.

This sound right?

cone washers (x12 42323-60010)
plate washers (x12 90201-08042)
hex nuts (x12 90170-08036)

As for the studs, they are coming up as discontinued and it doesn't appear they are included with the hub - see second image.

You’re killing me inside lol. Tacoma studs are out of stock worldwide. Pickup studs technically work but are slightly different in length.

There is evidence/claims on the T4R forum that people that wheel hard deal with stud failure using the wrong type of studs but who knows. I have something wrong with me and I’m trying to find someone to replicate some Tacoma studs.

time to buy a tabletop lathe to turn the pickup studs into tacoma studs

 

I've got one, but I'd probably just buy grade 10.9 automotive studs at ace in the length I need.

 

I’ll be rich if I can start making them. I’ll charge more than Marlin does too. And force $25 shipping.

 

Start advertising and taking orders now and don't deliver for at least a few years
