But if this alleged fuze is for the microphone, then where is it? FYI, claiming it is "hidden" doesn't fly because that means that you chose to make it unservicable, despite already having two panels which would have been easy & conveniently mounted: you're showing that if a fuze does exist, you have a piss-poor circuit design implementation. FWIW, I think I had one of the dot matrix printers you designed for decades ago ... you know, the one with the refitted board on the print head to add the wheatstone bridge that had been forgotten? /s And of course your other problem is that your so-called 'microphone' is just one piece of cruddy shit you have laying around without adequate electrical protection: where's the safety/fuzes for each of the PCs? Better go lick your fingers and start checking if they're grounded. -hh

Also, every connector has the metal contacts buried in plastic. There is no way for a human to contact them even if he desired. I used to actually ground myself via a wrist strap to drain away any static charge before working on the MB, but I don't do that anymore. I can just touch the power supply case which is grounded. Your concerns border on insanity. You should consult a qualified neurologist. -- Hail Linux! Hail FOSS! Hail Stallman!

I erred. There is no fuse on this unit. Those are 1.5 amp voltage regulators, which means they can output a max current of 1.5 amps. Note the tall heat sinks. Although this unit will see not that much current output. Here it powers a single op amp with only milliamps of current required.

My high school didn't have an electronics course. Had they, given the lag between high school courses and the rest of the world, the discretes would have been 6AU6s pentode and six dot mica capacitors. https://www.radioremembered.org/capcode.htm https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/RYYAAOSwxT5nV79L/s-l1600.webp If you don't know what the image is your education was limited. I had an advantage. My uncle owned a radio and TV store where the 'store' part was small compared to the back room with units waiting repair. 'In those days when the TV repairman, who made house calls, pronounced 'it has to go back to the shop' it was like your doctor telling you that you should get your affairs in order. He was old enough that in the course of his life radios and then TVs were cutting edge technology.

A Rhombic is merely 2 V-antennas connected end-to-end and a V-antenna is ... guess what ... a dipole. Give it up, loser.
