My doorbell, the actual noise making part had paint on it so I washed it. I saw a black layer come off after the paint . Any ideas what that black stuff was?

Is that a thing? Is there a little tub available to buy?

Sorry, just an old mans humour suggesting the black paint was a special coating to prevent the doorbell ringing.

as you were, move along, nothing to see ;)

I fixed 2 of my 8 tracks earlier :)

1) THE REAL DONOVAN - The tape let go on 1 end of the foil.. Luckily it was still at the edge so I just opened the cartridge and glued the foil pad to the tape...

2) JAMES TAYLORS GREATEST HITS - I put this into a different cartridge that thankfully plays fine.. (The one it was in did not)

Had issues with a coil whine from my PC for the last couple of weeks driving me nuts. Today I thought I would give it a bit of a service as it was running hot also . Upon removing peripherals I found a M.2 to USB adapter with an m.2 plugging into my front panel. Unplugged it and it appears it was the SSD whining.
The overheating was the water block loosened up over time. So an easy fix

Im glad ya got it settled easily Jay!!

Doesnt it feel good to fix stuff ourselves??
