Thanks Edgar! ...And by the way you got that RIGHT!!! Such as that hot glue state, cheap Crosley Cruiser Crap and dime sized precision, China-mart made DC motors, or I-Phone mini micro mono speaker trash like that! Truly, we are at such a generation where they do not possess the slightest...

This thing had a lot of bloated body bag caps hissin' fit to bust, and two old, decrepit resistors in the left channel causing some thermal issues with its outputs -- like the kind if you ran it for about an hour you could use the output transistors as a cigarette lighter to fire up your...

Well, good for you. ...and P.S. I was enjoying it![this post was last edited: 10/4/2016-12:34]

In regards to reply #23, it makes me want to smoke Virginia Slims all the way down to the burnt, carbonized filter...Yummy!!! Thanks so much for making this " Thread " relevant and worthy of responding to!

Why, that looks so yummy, I can almost feel my blood pressure redlining critical! I can almost sense the blood clots forming within my lungs and brain, truly, this is one dish to die for...especially for the waistline! As always keep the decadent recipes coming. Indeed, they are a culinary dream...

That's the problem, nowadays, nobody thinks! If somebody had a original thought to enter their head it would most probably blow off!

From your local, if your so blessed to have one in your area, professional electronic store -- Not any of those left over RadioShack's mind you! Why, I wouldn't even buy de-soldering braid from that joke of a RadioShack, much less, any of that garbage from the big box stores. I get all my...

You don't buy nothing at Lowe's are at that Home Depot, that garbage is for low voltage, solid state crap only!

Heat shrink is as easy as falling off a log. All you have to do is us it a couple of times and you'll learn to love it, just like anything else. Believe me, after as many times I've used it, it's good. If you ever decide to use it, use a lighter instead of a heat gun, works even better.

Just heat shrink the wire and unplug the rectifier tube and slowly power it up on your variac and see if your transformer gets hot. That will we tell you at least half the story.

Well, you can always become famous just before you spin off this mortal coil, and they will most likely turn your house into some kind of shrine of sorts and sell tickets to see all your junk that you horded before that great, big whirly bird in the sky hauled you off to the dead house to cool...

Polypropylene and Mylar caps would also be fine for replacing any kind of paper cap. You can be pretty close to the MFD, but the working voltage you need to be at or above -- Same for your electrolytics.

I bet you the dog bones are still 10 to 30% in tolerance which is pretty good. Ceramic disks would be a great replacement for your papers, they're really not that noisy at all and they just about last a life time are two. Be careful with that metal tube if its been replaced for a glass one, on...

I'm sorry, I thought you meant The Wireless Vac-u-ette!

Well, I bought this one just the other day and the pack rat came for free!

This one is my absolute favorite of all time! If you have the courage and see this one, it'll haunt your dreams forevermore, indeed, it's the most perfect, loving car you'll ever cast your eyes upon! Like I said, if you watch this one, you'll fall in love at first sight, because that's just how...

Alex, that sounds like a real treasure trove of unique material you came across! Those rare advisements would make a truly great " Thread!" But I would still very much imagine that on passenger liners of that era, the crew would have had the availability of a few pumpers or like manner on...

 Alex, is it true that they had the Star on the Titanic? I do believe I've heard that somewhere before, but I can't remember for the life of me. Many thanks as always!!   PS. That was absolutely a fantastically rare poster!!! Thank you for providing it for us!!! 

...Because if you eat enough garbage in your life you sorta start getting brainwashed after a while. Why, if you were brought up on deep fried rat you'd say that it was some pretty finger lickin' good stuff, or nobody can fry rat like my mamma could. In a lot of ways, we have been conditioned to...
