Perhaps there is some kind of chemical treatment that could restore the surface? If you want to see a graphic illustration of this kind of corrosion in action, get a piece of scrap aluminum, and rub a drop of mercury into it with a wad of steel wool. This creates a domain of aluminum amalgam on the surface of the metal, which effectively breaks that oxide barrier. That amalgamated patch will continuously grow long white whiskers of aluminum oxide unitl it eats right through the piece of scrap. I learned this the hard way back in high school, when I found bunch of spilled mercury in the dirt at school. I scooped up the dirt, and panned out the mercury using an old aluminum baking dish. The white whiskers grew, and grew, and grew. Eventually the pan was riddled with tiny holes. That's why airlines have fits if you bring mercury on board. It may well be the only permanent cure is to replace the problem tuning cap. Gordon Richmond Article: 330969 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: Tim Mullen Subject: Re: Why won't people ship to Canada?

To insure small packets, etc you must register (expensive) the letter/package to add insurance and then there are some not so reasonable dollar limits. http://ircalc.usps.gov/ After you get the rate you'll see an "Add Services" button on the bottom right corner of the screen. Run a sample at 3 pounds and one at 15 and you'll see how it works. The options available change at 4 or 5 pounds. It can be done but your $4.65 one-pound package winds up costing $12.00.

It seems like it might be possible to retune an FM Rx to tune through the VHF airband of around 115 to 125 mHz? Assuming a 10.7 IF with the Loc Osc. running above the received freq.

Ratio = 1.18 So by modifying the RF tuning section to cover (best) the portion of the local airband of interest even if it wouldn't track the whole range above 100 mHz correctly? ** However airband tends to be AM (Voice; amplitude modulation). Would it be possible to pick off the audio signal off prior to the FM discriminator circuit and feed it to audio stages in a manner similar to what the AM Broadcast portion of the set is already set up to do?

You'd have to add AGC to preserve the modulation envelope. Many receivers already have that but no attempt is made to preserve the modulation.

You can slope detect AM with an FM receiver, just as you can FM with an AM receiver. (well, it's a bit different sort of slope detection..).

Date: Tue, 07 Mar 2006 21:27:40 +0000 Message-ID: Ma Bell gets her family back together BARRIE MCKENNA Globe and Mail Update WASHINGTON — Okay, let's get this straight. There once was a Ma Bell. She was huge and she owned everything that had anything to do with telecommunications -- >from making black rotary phones to selling local service. Uncle Sam didn't like that. So he split up Ma Bell, creating a family of Baby Bell orphans. You might know them today as Verizon, SBC, Qwest and BellSouth. AT&T remained the jewel. It had the legendary engineering savvy and a keen eye for the next big thing in technology. But two decades after the breakup, Ma was growing old and tired. So SBC (formerly known as Southwest Bell) bought its own mother and they moved in together. Now SBC, which recently stole its mother's name, is also taking in one of its sisters. AT&T, based in San Antonio, Tex., has struck a deal to buy BellSouth for $67-billion (U.S.) in stock.The family tree is starting to look pretty weird. Borrowing the title of that old Paul Simon song, Democratic congressman Ed Markey of Massachusetts has already dubbed the merger a "mother and child reunion." That suggests something joyous is going on here. That's not true for all telecom customers. At the time of AT&T's breakup in 1984, there were seven Baby Bells. This deal would leave just three. This is full circle, a reunion, if you like. But it's driven by pure economics. The natural inclination of big companies is to grow ever-larger, becoming as monopolistic as antitrust regulators will allow. And with the pro-business Bush administration having remade the face of the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission, the players know now is the moment to get some of these big mergers approved. But just what market is AT&T and its siblings trying to control? It isn't so much about phone services, such as wireless, local or long distance. It's about access to the Internet, which is rapidly becoming the common platform for many of these services. Verizon and AT&T will control two-thirds of all local phone connections. AT&T and BellSouth would become a telecom giant with $130-billion a year in sales and 70 million local phone customers in 22 states. AT&T will also own 100 per cent of wireless provider Cingular -- the largest cellphone company in the United States. AT&T and BellSouth now jointly own it. AT&T chief executive officer Edward Whitacre said the deal would speed up the public's adoption of next-generation technology, integrating both wireless and traditional wired networks. "Together we can do it faster than each company could alone," he said. Maybe so. The local phone providers envisage a day when they'll be able to offer movies, music, TV and long distance -- all via the Internet. In a status quo environment, the phone companies are little more than providers of an increasingly cheap commodity -- broadband access. DSL service, which once cost $40 to $50 a month, is now selling for less than $20. Customers can buy broadband from multiple sources, including cable companies. The danger of doing nothing is problematic for the likes of AT&T and Verizon. They can stand idly by and watch others hijack their lines to make money, such as Apple with its iTunes service or Vonage with its Internet long-distance. So local phone service is the only monopoly card they have to deal. And they are using it as leverage. Verizon, for example, now requires customers to take local phone service if they want its DSL. That is apparently aimed at dissuading users from taking a cheap DSL deal and then signing up for one of the over-the-Internet phone offerings, such as Skype or Vonage. That's just the start. It doesn't take much imagination to see what other services are coming down the broadband pipe. The phone companies want to bypass the cable company monopolies to offer TV. On-demand movies are already available, but the service is clunky and slow. But as broadband expands, that too will change. Long distance service is already a reality. And eventually, much of this will go wireless. AT&T and Verizon are adopting the strategy that if they're really big, customers won't be able to get around them to do all these wonderful things. And Mr. Whitacre apparently believes that AT&T, not Vonage or Apple, will be the one to make money off this plethora of services. And to do that, the company figures it must be really big -- bigger than Ma Bell herself. bmckenna@globeandmail.com http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060307.gtibworld07/BNStory/Technology/home Article: 331002 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: Garrison Hilliard Subject: Ma Bell is coming back and, boy, is she pissed!

And to do that, the company figures it must be really big -- bigger than Ma Bell herself. bmckenna@globeandmail.com http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060307.gtibworld07/BNStory/Technology/home "We don't care.

Rehiring? Faggitabout it. The propensity for overstaffing that made her large and fat is (one of the things) that killed her. I'm f**king amazed at how this stuff goes full circle. I wasn't so upset by the breakup but I learned to accept it in my profession and on my fone bill...and simultaneously accept a more than little dose of political insight as well because that was a major burp in not only the communications bizness but how America as a whole treats Big Bizness. I work in cable and the "telco" threat is like morning coffee. Its always there. Drink up while you can because they will gladly come and refill the pot and pass out pink slips. Thats true in most any business these days. In those days they would have demanded that Wal Mart separate itself >from Sams Club and its distribution centres just so it would be "smaller". That was much the mentality back then and it still is to a large degree. I don't see how this can fly well in public opinion. I have no problems with these fat cats buying out each other...I get the feeling that they never really separated all that far anyway. One huge fish spawning itself into 5 or 6 large predatory fish by name wasn't any great public deliverance. I think the public perception is different nowadays....we used to stand in line at the phone to call grandma on the phone from Charlotte to Richmond on Mother's Day and it cost $4 a minute to say hi. Nowadays I could talk to Granny 8 hours a day every day of the month for $29.95. Nothing about the merger suggests that I won't be able to do so in the future. Its just corporate ballyhoo.

As for making a regenerative detector work...a space charged 49 tube will kick butt well up into the SW spectrum. Maybe you can do this with a 6C6 because of the supresssor grid/plate spacing approaches the ball park interelectrode capacitance. With a triode? Perish the thought. You're just making an old 99/01/12Au7 detector work at low voltage...which they of course will. My 49 sets in the space charge "mode" will match any ckt that requires a big stack of 9 volt batteries to operate. Yeah, its an obtuse manner of looking at a tube but 9V on the plate and abt 1.3v on the 'control' grid and signal injected on the screen of a 49 will match any regenerative detector. What the same 2-toob 9-volt circuit won't do is deliver audio like a 90 volt supplied radio. well, duh! I've tried it both ways (space charge vs conventional) at 9 volts with a 49 and it seems the same to me. There's not much magic here...until you try to regenerate an 01A with a 9 volt battery supply.

Oh, excuse me, in the current inflated english vernacular that would be an auction "experience" or "event" ;-) A few years back I would have thought that ANY vacuum tube based radio or TV, if not considered a family heirloom, should be thrown out when it failed to render adequate performance. Never figured it would be worth anything to anyone. Thought that about baseball cards, too.

There was a "head unit" which mounted in the dash, or with some aftermarket types, on the steering column. These usually had Bowden cables that operated the volume and tuning from inside the radio itself. Sometimes the on-off switch was on the head unit, other times it was in the radio. Some units had pushbuttons or other gadgetry; these generally connected via wires to motors/solenoids in the radio to select stations. As for the radio itself, sometimes they included the speaker, and sometimes the speaker was separate. On most all such radios, the "lunchbox" mounted on the firewall. The box itself has two mounting brackets, and are fastened with "T" shaped bolts whose nuts are on the engine side of the firewall. To visualize this, you have to think about 1930's automobiles. The firewalls are much larger than what you see on modern day cars, and there is plenty of room for this type of radio. Next chance you get, try and visit an antique car show -- not the typical cruise-in with Mustangs and 57 Chevys, but a display where you'll see restored 1930's automobiles. Once you see such a car with the radio installed, it all comes together. Also, thinking in today's technology, one wonders why the radio was so big in the first place -- why couldn't it be mounted in the dash? Probably the biggest hindrance was the tuning condenser -- it wasn't easy to build a radio around this big 3-section tuner, while keeping it compact enough to fit inside the dash -- without it taking up the whole dash. Some did -- the radio was installed in place of the glove compartment. A few, such as the 37 Buick, managed to get it all in one piece. However the in-dash radio didn't become practical until some smart guy did away with the condenser and used coil slugs to do the tuning (permeability tuning). Around the same time, the IF was moved from 455kHz to 262kHz. This greatly improved hetrodyne interference when two or more radios were in proximity to each other (picture several cars sitting at a traffic light). Before long the pushbutton/treadle/coil tuner design became a standard for many years, replaced only by the digital tuners of the 80's. -- Gary E.

I'd like to replace the stereo cabinet, and possibly the stereo receiver itself, which is more suited to TV surround than playing records. But what to replace it with? I can't help but think back to that Fisher stereo I once had. It had two tuning knobs for AM and FM, had two tuning eyes, and had dual concentric controls for treble, bass, volume, etc. It was about 1961-62 with all tubes, with a tube type power amp that sat elsewhere out of sight. The best part was that it was a great stereo, and was a beautiful gold color with burgundy knobs and trim. Whether I'll ever find that same exact model is unknown. Whether it will be a good one today is debatable (did it have loudness? Were there any FM MPX interference problems?). Of course there are plenty of later stereos, particularly of the 70's, that are really nice -- but I don't care about the brushed aluminum look of the 70's. So what I'm asking is, what was a really good stereo receiver of the early 60's? What would look really good, perform well, attract attention as a conversation piece, and have the features I want? The features, by the way, are easy enough -- tape monitor, turntable, CD player (aux), FM stereo, and loudness preferred. Are there some Scott, Marantz, H-K, or other units that have that gold/burgundy finish? If you were doing this, what would you look for? Surfing the internet, I've seen where the Fisher 500C appears to be a good one. Comments? By the way, if one can be had for $50, that's wwonderful; if there's one for $800 that's what I want, that's also fine, but what I'm NOT interested in is something with deep scratches, broken dial glass, one channel dead, needs a recap, etc. -- I want to use it, not restore it. Once this is done, next step may be another turntable. With the Fisher I had a Collaro Continental -- it was a good looking turntable, but a bit brutal by today's standards. Maybe a Dual . . .

It's a sound investment for the town. They'll eventually sell it for big bux to an outfit that removes the FREE label. Enjoy it while it lasts. Its en vogue right now...it won't be if/when the town needs to use the fiscal cost-cutting scissors.

HOW? Well, suppose they offered Kissimee that for $400K as was mentioned. Suppose their client base before that - from the area - was bringing in a million. That is a hell of a drop in revenue. Maybe whoever the ISP is, doesn't know what Kissimee had in mind. Once they find out why the proceeds dropped WAY down - THERE is going to be some adjustments made - policy changes, rate increases, whatever. Some ISPs may fall to the way side. Like the phone companies, airfares, etc. Somehow - somewhere - the customer always gets screwed in the end, companies shut down due to loss of revenue, jobs lost, etc..... I don't know......... It will be interesting to see........ There is a WiFi network somewhere in my midst - maybe I should just drop my e-mail account - place everything to crappy Yahoo - and live free....... of ISP charges. Then comes internet security. IS WIFI safe for the masses to be placing credit card orders on and so on? I've heard pros and cons there. Just my 2 cents.

The Antique Radio Store on Clairemont (Got an answering machine) is live and well with the odd hours posted on the web. I was there last year and he had lots of antiques for sale. Call when you arrive as he had some shorter hours on certain days in March. The Antique Radio and Audio Repair on Corvus has limited his service to repair -- sed nothing for sale and sed the store on Clairemont was the only game in town other than Thrift shops and pawn shops. I found a 1950's RCA AA5 at a thrift store for $5 like new cosmetically. Recapped it and replaced a few tubes -- works fine Enjoy your visit to SD and Happy shopping. -- CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be !

All those titles this guy is trying to sell, I think they're in there -- but those are the ones I put back in the boxes! Actually, I indeed found some really cool stuff so far, including: Smoke Smoke Smoke (that cigarette) -- Tex Williams Civilization -- Danny Kaye & The Andrews Sisters (Bongo bongo bongo I don't want to leave the Congo) Band Of Gold -- Don Cherry Pistol Packin' Mama -- Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters Love Letters In The Sand -- Pat Boone The Green Door -- Jim Lowe Silent Night, Holy Night -- Bing Crosby (At first this doesn't seem like such a find, except this is the original blue label Decca recording with Victor Young's orchestra, from 1935 -- very different from the John Scott Trotter version you're used to hearing; it even has some different lyrics) One Meat Ball -- The Andrews Sisters Java Jive -- The Ink Spots My Prayer -- The Platters Kiss Of Fire -- Georgia Gibbs Mind you, these records are NOT for sale!

I don't know a whole lot about burning CD's in the first place (got a thing against removable media), but some time ago I picked up a Yamaha CRW-1FS burner, mostly 'cuz it looks rilly, rilly, cool. :) Just recently I noticed xcdroast has a special flag for "Yamaha Audio Master mode" that's supposed to give less problems in "HiFi" players. It also reduces capacity of a 74 minute CD to 63 minutes, and an 80 minute CD to 68 minutes. And only works in Disk-At-Once mode. Don't know what Yamaha's doing different (if anything), but it sounds like you shouldn't burn disks much over an hour. -- Tim Mullen ------------------------------------------------------------------ Am I in your basement?

However, just recently I got my first acoustic gramophone. Well, you need something to listen to on it! For me that's part of the whole experience, just like receivers ain't much fun if there's no transmitter anywhere. Since most of my music tastes tend toward classical and hard industrial, there's a raft of music, such as the roaring 20's stuff, that I never would have listened to if it hadn't been for collecting radios and, now, phonos. My wanting to listen to the machines as they might've been used originally exposed me to some tres cool stuff. Hey Gary!

Message-ID: Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2006 04:20:28 GMT Gee, thank you! For a minute there I had the thought that at least some of us should simply look at the radios, but never turn them on. If I indeed wanted to discuss records on a continual basis, I'd certainly take it to a record collecting newsgroup. But to mention a few titles on occasion, isn't this part of the whole vintage experience? Allow me to give you a little insight: indeed there was a time when I purchased a CD player, and planned on getting rid of all the records and replacing them with CD's. Unfortunately I got rid of all my 78's, and a number of albums that I wish I hadn't. However years later my car club asked if anyone knew how to work on sound systems. It seems the club was asked to host a monthly car cruise in Clearwater, and the club's sound system didn't work. I volunteered -- fixed it up, and ended up operating it because nobody else knew how. So suddenly I became DJ. For the first couple months, I was searching the music stores, looking for CD's of doo-wops to play at the car shows. Before long it hit me -- why search out and buy all these CD's when I've got the records and a perfectly good turntable at home? So I dug out the 45's, which for whatever reason I still had, took them to the car show, and it was a hit! People loved the fact that I was playing records! So as time went by, I've added considerably to my record collection -- all 45 rpm singles. I purchased two Stanton turntables and a "casket", and this is what I use when I DJ. With this I've learned a lot about record collecting -- but there's one thing I do that most collectors don't -- I play them! Yes, that autographed copy of Bill Haley's "See You Later Alligator" can be seen and heard, along with many other collectible titles, at every car show I do; and I do it because it's fun. I also receive continual compliments for the music. Indeed I like to keep some variety going -- not just play a few songs over and over in rotation all day. I've told people I play "cruising" songs -- the songs that make you turn up the radio when you hear them. Actually the truth -- I play the songs that I personally like, figuring that others like them as well. I play mostly 50's and 60's, but as you could see by the titles I mentioned earlier it doesn't fit any particular structured format -- other than the fact that you don't hear those songs anywhere else. I do get a rather interesting reward for this -- and I'm not trying to brag so much as to tell you about the rewarding feeling. I don't do a lot of car shows; only two cruises a month and an occasional larger show. There are others out there who promote their shows to the hilt, and have a much larger following. Still, I hear the same comments over and over, very consistently -- and I try to be discrete when hearing these, to ensure these are honest remarks. From people in Clearwater and Tampa, to others in Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Ft. Myers, the word has gotten back to me in several different ways, from several different sources. Out of all the car show DJ's in all of southwest Florida, Gary Tayman plays the best music by far! Someone in St. Pete even gave me the title, "Spin Doctor" which has stuck. So I might come up with some unusual titles, but obviously people like the mix. -- Gary E.

Do you use a small transmitter, speakers, or a combination when you do the music at the car shows? I would think the car fans would get a real kick out of being able to hear it on their car radios.

Me, I wouldn't own an Ipod if it were given to me. Just something about the name that rubs me the wrong way. Sounds like it should be a brand name for suppositories. I do have a Sony Network Walkman, which feeds into the radio via a cassette adaptor. When I get a little more time on my hands, I will yard the radio out and install a line-in jack so that I can avoid the clumsy cassette adaptor. I'm still curious to know why a CD player should be "damaged" by playing a home-made CD. I can see them maybe just not working on one if they can't recognize the format, but not taking damage, unless maybe there was a "feature" built in to scramble the CD player if pirated music is inserted. (I'm thinking here along the lines of satellite TV receivers that can be hit and shut down if a pirate card is in the slot.). Now that I have the Network Walkman, I really have little need to play home-made CDs in the car stereo.

Message-ID: Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2006 11:15:50 GMT I've done this experimentally at a couple of car shows, using the AMT-3000. It works, but doesn't get out very far. I'd love to build an antenna that could get me a complete parking lot, not just the handful of cars in front. I had two things in mind with the transmitter. Back when I was doing this at the St. Pete Pier, the sound was great on the back patio, but on the sides, where most of the cars were, you couldn't hear much. So I wanted to broadcast this so people could hear announcements over the radio. Also, there's a huge car show each year in January, that has no sound whatsoever. Many of these cars are real antiques. I've thought about playing some old time radio, where some of them could turn on the radios and listen. Of course, on the older ones you don't leave it on for long without draining the battery. -- Gary E.

Half of the output transformer primary is open. I was able to measure the ratio of the existing transformer (half primary to secondary). I have what I think will serve as a suitable replacement: a NOS Stancor 18 watt univeral output transformer (push pull). My plans are to pick the pair of secondary taps that come closest to the ratio (half primary to secondary) of the original (as measured at 500hz, and maybe a couple of other frequencies). Question: if I cannot match the original ratio, is it better to go to a HIGHER or LOWER ratio tap? Higher ratios would mean a higher impedance plate load presented to the output tubes, and vice versa. I don't need to maximize power in this case - perhaps I should aim to shoot for lower distortion.

In general, they sound much better than the 45's. By then they were pressing 78's on vinyl so the surface was better, and those big wide grooves allowed tremendous dynamic range. From that era, the only records that are worth much are rock, R&B, and some country (there are always exceptions).

They did all of our work on motors from 1/8 hp up to 50 HP units. It was like stepping back in time going there, all the work benches were visible from the front, covered in years of varnish, big rolls of magnet and insulated wire hung from ceiling mounted racks. There was a big varnish dip pot that looked to be 100 years old in one corner. It was run by a little German guy who was probably well into his 70's, and this was 25 years ago.

While head and shoulders above many other choices, linux is probably the least stable variant of unix. No one's ever gone thru the kernel with a fine-tooth comb, and drivers get added willy-nilly. The latter is both a strength and a weakness. If you really need support for that morse code card, you'll probably find some kid wrote a driver for it. The quality of that driver is another thing.

In fact, the center tap of the power transformer is that. Thus, because of the current flowing through the field coil and R9, the actual chassis ground is positive with respect to the center tap. The grid of the output tube is returned to the junction of the field coil and R9, and that point is negative with respect to the chassis ground. Hence, negative grid bias. -- Mike Schultz "Richard/Janet Quam" wrote in message news:en1Qf.6059$CT.2958@trnddc04... >I posted the schematic of a Western Air Patrol 6-M2T on the binaries.

My RCA tube manual does indeed list an 8BQ5 and a 10BQ5. My assumption is that these two 6BQ5 variants were for use in series string television sets - I know for a fact that the 0.45 Amp rating of the 10BQ5 was common in inexpensive black and white sets. The 8BQ5 list as being an 0.60 Amp which I surmise may have been used in colour televisions - but I am not a TV expert and may be incorrect here. In any case, I am in agreement that you would not see them in radio or amplifier designs - the voltage rating is too oddball for transfomer operated equipment, and the 0.6 A rating was not used to my knowledge in series string radio sets - again, I may stand to be corrected here.

What do you think about an outfit that charged $495 to repair a 6-tube radio? (No, the set was not trash.) There's more to the ugly story, but they didn't even replace all the wax capacitors and the set wouldn't work on the BC band, but only shortwave when finished (seven months later). The schmuck was me and when I complained, there was not an offer to even refund one dollar of the price. "Fool me once," as the old saying goes, but I just wanted to warn folks out there in collecting land. Oh yes, and they charged $60 to ship the set from NY to VT. No wonder the "guest book" on their web site has been disabled.

Article: 331143 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Gary Tayman" Subject: Somebody likes 6X5's Message-ID: Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 03:35:07 GMT Here's another one that makes me scratch my head . . . I've got a Bendix radio from a 51 Ford, model 1BF -- they want me to fix it. First step: pull the 6X5 rectifier and vibrator, apply B+ from bench power supply. Voltage is 250v, current minimal -- great! So, I applied 6 volts to light up the filaments. Hit B+ again, I immediately get overcurrent. Interesting. So, next step is to pull the output tube. What? Another 6X5? It can't be; what's a radio doing with two 6X5's? Looked at the wiring underneath, this has to be the audio output. So I stuck in a 6V6, and the radio plays fine and dandy. Now -- this isn't the first time I've seen incorrect tubes. I have to laugh at the thought of using a 6X5 for audio output. But here's the clincher: Somebody went to great lengths to label these tubes, so there's no question as to what tube fits in which socket. According to this fellow, that 6X5 belongs there! Bad enough to see a radio with two 6X5's in there, but how did it EVER work? Whatever; it's an easy one for me. -- Gary E.

Some of them are zener diodes and some of the larger ones (1.5KW surge) are rated at 5W continuous. You need to check the manufacturer's data sheet because ratings vary (this isn't the normal way to use them). Also, they come in odd voltages and the rated voltage means different values depending on the particular kind they are (in particular, surface mount ones use a different marking method from leaded parts). -- Jim Mueller wrongname@nospam.com To get my real email address, replace wrongname with eportiz.

Dayton to J. B. Ferguson, volume 2 has Freed-Eisemann to Priess, and volume 3 has RCA to Zenith. Something else I find curious -- the paper itself. Volume 1 and 3 have white paper; volume 2 has a very slight pinkish tint. You don't even notice it unless you stack the three volumes together, then you'll see it by looking at the edge. -- Gary E.

And, when I sent a vociferous (and politely restrained) email complaining, their only reaction was to say return it and they would "look at it." I guess I should feel humbled that they offered to pay for shipping . . . Forget it, this is about cutting losses and learning a very expensive lession. A fine retired gent from Indiana used to do all my radio repair. It was done to a fault and I think the most I ever paid him was close to $200 for a really mucked-up 16-tube Philco. I realize this is retail and there's a difference, but...well, how many ways can you say "I got screwed and didn't even get a kiss?" Caveat emptor. These guys are scheisters and have been called on it. That's about all I can do (aside from finally getting motivated and learning some of the basics myself, other than just recapping a set).

The gentleman in Indiana to whom I referred in the earlier post tried, by email, to teach me the art of tube radio repair. But, I never seemed to find the elusive "roun tuit." How I wish I had. We became friends over the years through collecting and shared other interests. Now, he is gone and I miss him wicked bad. He was a fine fellow and I stay in touch with his widow. Point is, if you have a potential "tutor" as I did, grab on and learn. Don't send opportunists in another state a simple radio for repair and end up getting fleeced as I did. The "P.S." to this diabtribe of mine is an email I just received from "From Your Listening Pleasure " (AKA, Scott's TV--they have a web site if anyone cares to Google it) wherein they indicated they felt they were being quite generous and helpful by offering to pay the shipping so they could inspect the set again. Granted, sure...something *could* have transpired in transit, I'll allow that. But, I was very clear in indicating where I felt they were gouging/overcharging, etc., and they are absolutely blind to it. Guess they feel their charges are fair. In any case, onward and upward. Live and learn. What was it I read somewhere: "Money talks; mine mostly says goodbye."

No, the book diagram's right if it shows the bar end going to the filters. But, since electrolytics don't take kindly to reverse polarity, it's VERY fortunate you had the foresight to put some resistance in series going in.

Yeah, there's the direction of actual electron flow, and then there's the concept of 'flow of charge' which is generally the working paradigm. This strange schism goes all the way back to Franklin.

The second printing was 3000 softs. For vol.3, I think the run was a little larger. Vol.2 would be the scarcest, since some people bought vol.1 but did not go any farther. Different printers were used for each volume, so the paper could be different. Certainly the printing was: the first run of vol. 2 for instance had the photos much too dark. The printer (somewhere in Michigan?) claimed not to see any problem, so Harvey (Harvey Roehl of Vestal Press) did not use that company again. Harvey passed away several years ago and the radio portion of Vestal Press was bought by George Fathauer (who with his father used to run Antique Electronic Supply). I just exchanged some emails with George and it does look as if he will do a reprint, though there's not much profit in it, considering the costs and the large inventory to be carried for several years.

I was the rewinding specialist and got pretty good at it, learning from the two bench techs and the boss. Even then, ordinary appliance motors were rarely worth rewinding, and portable tools never. We did make money doing truckloads of washing-machine motors for the local Air Force base, since they were all of two or three styles and I didn't have to spend any time diagramming and counting turns.

If you read between the lines, what is really being said above is that the real problem with CD players used in GM vehicles is that they are PIECES OF CRAP. How else to describe a piece of equipment that slowly self-destructs when presented with popular, commonly available media that is very likely to be used with it? That response is very typical of GM....They would rather fabricate stories or leap to their deaths than admit there is a problem. If this is really true, then I'd suggest going aftermarket and can the factory player. While we're on this subject, I have a car CD player repair story to share: A couple of years ago, I found an Alpine car CD player in a box of random electronics parts junk that I bought at a swap meet for a buck. It was obviously used, but appeared to be in good condition. I wondered why it had been shelved. I didn't wonder for long....I hooked it up on my test bench and fired it up, and everything was fine for about half the CD, and then it would skip like mad. I took it apart and quickly found the problem...One of the QC inspection stickers was loose in the player, and preventing mechnical movement of the laser assembly past a certain point. The glue on the sticker had completely dried out. Removing the sticker completely resolved the problem. That player now lives and plays quite happily in my truck. (BTW, It plays burned CDs perfectly in spite of being manufactured in an era before CD-Rs became popular) How ironic indeed....A sticker placed inside the unit certifying quality causes the player to ultimately fail because it was itself not of good quality! -Scott Article: 331186 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "William B Noble (don't reply to this address)" Subject: Re: HELP!

If you lack a light meter, tape a photo diode to the bulb and measure brightness that way. Then, remove the bulb and diode assembly and attach to a variable voltage DC supply. put your current meter in series with the bulb. increase voltage until the diode (or light meter) indicates that you have the exact same brightness. Read the average current. If you want peak current, just measure the peak voltage across the resistor and use ohm's law. this works because the bulb can average it all out for you.

GM players may be crap, but mine plays fine and always has. I'm also not a proponent of GM products either. I drive mostly Hondas because I like them and the last and last and last. I keep my truck (98 Chevy) parked most of the time and just use it around the house. I also never buy the music blanks because my burner seems to hiccup on them plus they cost more. I'm like Jeff in the sense that CD's are on they way out anyway. My Civic came with a link to hook up an Ipod. It also has XM radio but I would rather pick my own music. I can't see wasting 12.95 a month on it. It just does not offer that much.

Actually I'd like to sell it. I just don't trust it for everyday use, since the brakes failed once and I rolled back down a steep driveway and sideswiped a gatepost. Theoretically all four brakes can't fail at once, but they did. There's something comforting about 24 gallons of gasoline tucked behind the seat inside the cab too... Alan Article: 331197 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Jon" Subject: Antique Radio Auction - Upstate NY Message-ID: Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 15:19:01 GMT Every year, a local auction house here in upstate New York holds an antique radio and ugly furniture radio. There are typically hundreds of radios and parts up for auction, with some consoles going for as little as $15. Some get no bids at all. Last year an AK breadboard was the big ticket item. This year's auction is March 18th. The auction house's website is: http://bostwickauctions.com/march%2018.htm (I'm not affiliated with them - but I will be attending and bidding).

Had this unit been a nearly unsalvageable basket case, it would have been another issue entirely. I realize some component or a tube may have failed in transit--compost occurs as they say--but my biggest gripe is over the charges. I paid $300 to have a 1850s clockworks restored and $180 for a mantle clock as well as a full restoration of a phonograph motor for $150. I am fully aware the worker must be compensated for his knowledge, expertise, and labor. It's bad enough doctors and lawyers stick it to us, but quite another when radio repair runs into the multiple hundreds for a simple set which, even if restored to a fault, would not be worth over $200. In his defense, Scott has offered to look at the set again and to pay for shipping, but failed to address at any time the jist of my complaint to him. It's a non-issue now. I've learned my lesson and have taken my lumps. Regards, Charles E.

I was able to do this since there is a schematic glued inside the metal base plate even though badly faded and very hard to read . I have no other information about this except that it was sold by Peffer Sound Equipment (of Kitchener) , and that I used an identical amplifier to run a high school radio station in 1972 - 73. The EBAY vendor stated that it had been manufactured in 1937 - if so this was an absolutely cutting edge design for its day. It uses a 5U4 rectifier, two 6L6s, a 6N7, 6J5, and two 6SJ7s in the microphone stage (incidentally, right now the same two 6L6GCs are installed that I was using in my high school amp). There is negative feedback used in the design for bass boost and distortion reduction - which I feel is quite advanced for 1937. The components also appear to be advanced for 1937 - namely dry electrolytics and carbon composition resistors (every other piece of equipment this old I have worked on has had wet electrolytics and dog - bone resistors). The build quality is outstanding and repairs mostly consisted of re - capping and removing various poor quality repairs done in the past. It sounds very good hooked up to modern Hi - fi speakers and playing from a CD source; again, closer to high fidelity than I would have expected from 1937 - much greater bass response for example. The front panel and general aesthetics of the amp are consistent with the late 1930's, however. I would be grateful for any information I could get on this amplifier - a more legible schematic would be a godsend for future reference. Any general information such as brochures or user manuals would be welcome - even just a clarification of the actual build date. I would also like information on Stromberg Carlson's history in Canada as well. There are some parts I would also like to complete the restoration if anyone has any info on them: 1) There were 3 Ivory 2.25 inch chicken feet knobs for the two microphone inputs and the phonograph input. Two of them disintegrated when removed and the third is in poor shape. Can anyone point me in the right direction - they are probably just a standard part but I don't see anyone listing them. 2) Anyone who might have a tube cage for this could let me know the price. I recollect that the original was bronze - brown (metallic) with a large rectangular mesh, and rounded top edges. The dimensions are 13.5 in x 7.5 in x 5 in high.

V squared divided by R = watts as follows. 1) At 8 volts; (8 x 8)/R = 64/R 2) At 12.6v; (0.5* x 12.6 x 12.6)/R = 0.5 x 159/R = 79/R * denoting half wave. And. 3) At 12v (0.5 x 12 x 12/R = 72/R NB. The rated heater of an 8BQ5 from various sources is 8 volts at 0.6 amps. R = 8/0.6 = 13/3 ohms (hot). I tried this once using a voltage 'twice' the rated voltage of the tube (well it was actually a lamp!) in series with a diode, without a filter capacitor. It blew the smithereens out of the lamp filament! 4) Hmm! (0.5 x 2v x 2v)/R = 2v/R. Yes that would do it. Didn't even act like a photoflood with a shorter lifespan. Just flash, 'poof'; lamp flashed once and that was it! Expensive bulb too! BTW have operated a single tube heater in series with a capacitor, on AC mains. Capacitive reactance formula = one all divided by (two pi x freq. x C farads) A one mfd capacitor having an AC impedance at 60 cycles of around 2800 ohms (reactive). Thus a 3 to 4 mfd cap having a reactance of around 930 to 700 ohms will pass somewhere between 0.13 and 0.16 amps at 115 to 120 volts AC. The R component of this what is really a vector problem is so small (often less than say 0.5%) it can be ignored. At 50 hertz (where I first tried this as a penniless schoolboy) reactance is 3,300 ohms and with 230 volts mains a 2 mfd cap will pass about 0.14 amps. Since many 12 (12.6) volt tubes require 0.15 amps (compared to their 6.3v brethren) this is occasionally a quick way to 'fire up' such a tube without a transformer! Of course if the cap blows because of the peak voltages the tube goes too! But as experiment or an emergency! So 0.6a for a couple of 8BQ5s could be possible with say a 10 to 12 mfd. cap, of suitable AC rating. But that's getting physically rather large for such a cap even if one has a stock of ex-telephone caps. production tested to 2 KV static DC! Article: 331208 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "G.

The problem with free web sites is that they come and go at the whim of the owners. A notable example of which was the Heathkit schematic archive. The owner got a hair up his ass about the US invasion of Iraq. (Well within his own right I might add.) He took the site down in protest.

Thanks, No experience with that particular set, but I will be glad to offer a suggestion. I experienced a -somewhat- similar problem with a National NC-98. It would work on the bottom half of the AM band and all of the short wave bands but nothing on the top half of the AM band. The problem was finally solved by replacing the 6C4 oscillator tube. And yes, I swapped the tubes (old and new) back and forth several times and the problem always followed the old tube; it was not anything to do with a dirty socket as I changed the tube several times and the problem *always* stayed with the original tube. Won't attempt to explain it, but the new oscillator tube is what fixed it. Go figure...
