I don't know how much you guys listen to Triple M's Spoonman at night but it was something I loved doing especially during late night drives. For all of you guys who don't know he was canceled on the 26th I doubt it will happen but I seriously hope he will come back or another station will pick him up

James I feel your pain.

I was listening on his final night.

I also liked listening to him on a long late night drive, telling off the idiots that call up and what not...

Hopefully he will be back on the air soon.

Ahhh good old Triple M.... and the target market of Triple M Listeners.... people with erectile dysfunction? :)

bah... call spoonman listeners what you want... he still was a top radio host...

you can go back to listening to MIX 101.1 :)

well they lost another listenr for ever now, i was a MMM listener for ages, then they dropped "the Cage" in the mornings... so didnt listen to the morning show, but went back for get this, then will and lemo and the spoonman... then goes get this... so they only had me for 2 shows, now that they have gone.... ill only listen to them for the footy... stupid MMM GRRRRRRRRRRRR

LOL - I'm the opposite. Hated the spoon man (wish he'd shut up and play some damn MUSIC for a change. Weird concept playing music on an FM station I know). And Will and Lemo never knew what the hell they were supposed to be talking about it seemed.

I for one am stoked they are all gone and hope they replace them with some decent people again. Bring back Crud I say. Maybe I'll actually go back to listening to MMM now that they are all gone because those guy seriously had me switched off.

Agreed.

But I suppose now that most people have ipods with massive amounts of the music they want to listen to, radio stations playing music has become redundant.

"Gotta get the ratings somehow... I know! Let's make comedians talk for extended periods to entertain the masses. Surely that will work!"

Rarely does that make a good show.

Don't know what Triplem are going to do now, but the replacement drive show with Fitzy from 4pm is rubbish, God only knows what they are ding in the evenings now.

Lucky my PA11-NIS is coming :)

cage gone, get this gone, spoonman gone, what point do i have to listen? havent been for 12months now, i listened to mmm for 19 years and now, gold or vega lol or get this podcasts!

100% on crud, bring them back!

I'm still pissed they axed 'Get This' from the afternoons more than a year ago
No shit!, havent listened to Triple M since.

I downloaded every "get this" podcast off the mmm website before they took it down so I could reminisce. If either of you guys want a copy let me know. I whack them on cd's every now and then for a long drive. Classic radio!

If you listen to the "long way home" Ed cavalie still uses jokes he developed with Tony M. Like the odd reference to Rex hunt, jeff fenech and upskirting at the tennis!

I agree, he sucked balls. It was oooo-k to listen to but if didn't agree with someone, BANG! - you're off the air and he drowns you out, too much opinion for my liking. Good riddance.

I use to listen to spoon man all the time when i was working at night, loved it when he use to tell ppl who had no idea to piss off.

Best show ever was when he had a topic that steve erwin was going to die sooner or later with all the animals he f**ked with (the show was on the day he died), had to stop the show early with all the death threats he was getting, he was right though.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
