The encoder was a pain to unsolder but I managed it, and kept the connectors. A little sandpaper and the new one slotted right on. Prob took about 20m? It’s mounted a little crooked in the slots, but I’m gonna not dig too deep into why - it works, that’s what matters.

So the main thing was: using pin headers (instead of just pins) to attach the new OLED. Clearance for the pins was good, but the OLED is too large to fit thru the opening cut in the control board PCB.
Some 12mm screws w 5mm collars did the trick nicely enough to keep everything even and secure

Hey! Don't use AI to summarize an episode of @neverpo.st you didn't listen to as a lead in to your PR outreach email! It guarantees no one on the Never Post team will respond! Have some self-respect! Happy new year!

Hardware store around the corner from the studio had the right screws for replacing the ones that hold the chassis together. Not black (zinc? i think?), but not corroded/rusted either (and only $1.12 for all of them)

Haha I do not take this personally. I think about a lot passages, but this is the one I think about the most.

Not too bad in here! Pics after one round each of dusting, air blowing and alcohol swabbing. The wiper contact for the jog is completely detached; probably the same incident that caused the cracked screen. I’ll do a DeOxit pass when I fix that, too, and see where we’re at.

Positively insane sidewalk find.
Has a broken screen for sure (already ordered a replacement for $23), and the jog is busted. But it makes sound and all the keys work!

They took a few bucks off for the writing, but honestly could probably have charged a little extra.

![A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that aims to maintain a stable value relative to a
specified asset, a pool or basket of assets. The specified asset might refer to fiat currency, commodity, or other cryptocurrencies. 12]
Despite the name, stablecoins are not necessarily stable. Stablecoins rely on stabilization tools such as reserve assets or
algorithms that match supply and demand to try to maintain a stable value. 31](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:55scqslzafocxhafvgsjaldn/bafkreibdnxmdbadbu4x4grxy56v4kayikmbmvwpqgob24gtluoyhewn5wy@jpeg)
