Older ones often had "issues" with the battery contacts - that's one place where Caig's "Power Booster" really does work. I used to have to clean those contacts fairly often - until I put some of that stuff on them. Now I treat the contacts when the batteries are replaced - and not a problem with contacts since. Other than that - you may have fried a resistor in the ohm circuit - real easy to do (or at least it was in earlier models).

Oh....I also Quit worrying about your "perfect feedback". It's not worth the money - and people just don't care anymore - particularly if you make good use of the "response" facility to tell your side. Just state your side of the matter in clear, unemotional terms - and let it go. People understand that if you sell long enough on ebay (which is getting shorter and shorter these days) you're going to run into liars, cheats, etc. and get undeserved negative(s) and most just shrug it off. I was lucky - the buyer (who lied about where she was, AND then wanted me to lie to customs saying the item was a gift with no value) broke one of ebay's rules: threatened (in an email) to leave negative feedback if I didn't lie to customs. She did (leave a negative) - I sent all the documentation to safe harbor - and they removed the negative F/B, through her off of ebay - and turned her into her country's customs people (ebay wouldn't say much - but apparently she was involved in more sales with similar problems than just mine). I tried my best to avoid that negative - though it didn't matter - she was hell-bent to leave it... and even if ebay hadn't removed it - the rest of my feedback tells the story. I have *NO* doubt that I'll get another - recently had a retaliatory neutral (they leave whatever the buyer leaves - regardless of how bad their product is - but since they move over 1000 product A DAY - ebay does nothing about them... And that's the point - forget the numbers - read what the majority of people say (including between the lines) and then make up your mind. That's what most reasonable people do. Sellers - like us who try to be proper ebay community members -- have to just accept it - and work with the reality of how it is. just my .02 -- randy guttery A Tender Tale - a page dedicated to those Ships and Crews so vital to the United States Silent Service: http://tendertale.com Article: 321193 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: Tim Mullen Subject: Re: GE Portacolor & Philco Ford Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 21:26:41 +0000 (UTC) Message-ID: References: <7323-4304759A-113@storefull-3174.bay.webtv.net> In robert casey writes: >> With over 25 years as a consumer service tech, I have never been impressed >> with GE televisions.

RCA's phase-locked loop system was standard up until direct injection was first used in the CTC-19 (the first 19" square screen set, with a gob of 6GH8s in the chassis). The CTC-20 was the same chassis, but adaped to the low-end 21" round screen set. PLL appeared again in the CTC-25, but then direct injection became standard in tube chasses thereafter (in RCAs that is).

Message-ID: Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 22:31:57 GMT It is possible that the filament opened up during shipping. It has happened to me. More likely, the guy is trying to get a free tube. By offering him a refund after the tube is returned is about all you can do. I hope you really did mark the tube! I went through this with a guy in Hong Kong. I sent him a pair of high value tubes, and he said one was defective (made awful noises through the speaker). I offered him another tube, but said he would have to return the bad one first. Once he found out that I had more of them, the bad one suddenly recovered (dirty pins), and he wanted to buy more. I made him a good offer on additional tubes, but he wanted them cheaper. I gave him a better price on the condition that he not use PayPal. He balked at that, claiming that he would not be protected otherwise. Eventually, he agreed to buy the tubes, but he would only pay half. I was supposed to ship the tubes, and then he promised to pay the rest on receipt. That ended the deal.

Nor does the capacitor "test" bad with the usual value or leakage tests.

I sent him numerous e-mails and an E-Bay issued invoice which as you know - both parties get a copy of. E-Bay was told about the invoice having gone through their system, yet they still allowed the idiot's post to remain. He had other prior complaints similar, but a lot of good feed back too - so I gave him the benefit of doubt. PLUS he replied to me via E-Bay with one E-mail address listed and privately with yet another. E-Bay was told about that too, but it didn't seem to matter. Apparently - that idiot must have thought I listed items on E-Bay just to give them a paycheck, with no intent of shipping. How stupid is that? What it really boils down to, is he just didn't want to pay. Ya got to love it... many of these idiots have this impression we sellers hold a gun to their heads to make them place a bid. They just don't get the concept that if they don't want the item, like the item or aren't one to pay in the end - to just MOVE ON. Yes, there ARE a few losers out there on E-Bay - buyers and sellers (too). In a similar situation from this guy's, I was selling an Apple Computer (older model).

It's in the June 23rd General Announcements. I believe you are confusing the part of the announcement that indicated new eBayers will have to take a "tutorial" prior to being able to leave a neutral or a negative. This is to help them understand how to deal with conflicts and also the consequences of leaving a negative. There is no procedure in place to prevent leaving a negative prior to going through mediation. eBay doesn't have the staff to handle the multiple thousands of such occurrences daily. Once a negative is left however, there are more options for the party receiving it to have it removed, once they request feedback removal. This rule only applies to situations where a party refuses to participate in one of the processes eBay has to resolve conflicts. These include things like the "Unpaid Item" process and the "Item Not Received" process. An example of this is that if a seller files an "Unpaid Item" charge against a buyer, and the buyer fails to complete their obligation, then the buyer can't leave a retaliatory feedback to the seller. If they do, the new rule allows for the negative rating to be removed, but the comment will still remain. This will keep the retaliatory negative out of the other party's score. Although the wording used by Brian Burke in the announcement sounded like it may have been a pre-emptive process, the rule can only be invoked once the negative has already been left. Another noteworthy change in the feedback announcement is if a new eBay member ends up getting indefinitely suspended during their first 90 days, all the feedback ratings they left (positive, negative, and neutral) will be removed. Its as if the first 90 days new members are all under probation. If they screw up enough to get suspended in that time frame, their feedbacks can't hurt anyone. jim menning Article: 321217 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: Randy or Sherry Guttery Subject: Re: Simpson VOM References: <4uydnZ2dnZ3ihOmYnZ2dnULgm96dnZ2dRVn-0J2dnZ0@bresnan.com> Message-ID: Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2005 01:58:55 -0500 Warren Weber wrote: > Randy.

I, too, ended up like John Goller - the freebie version of WS_FTP missing from some computers, and unable to find a source for a new download. I ended up switching to FTP Commander, which I downloaded from the Tucows website (which I trust as a source of downloads). It appears to look and operate just like WS_FTP-LE.

These devices used high frequency signals to produce localized heating in body tissues. The heat would destroy the tissue or coagulate blood. The high frequency current is applied to the area being treated using electrodes. I believe that one use for this process was the removal of unwanted hairs. The heating effect was supposed to destroy the hair follicle which would prevent the hair from regrowing. I don't know who patented the idea, but I have seen pictures a diathermy device produced by Lee De Forest.

Take a Simpson 260 rated at 2% of full scale. (For example.) And a digital meter with 3-1/2 digits. The 3-1/2 digits allow it to read up to 1.999 full scale. If the Simpson is on the 2 volt range (making things fairly equal for comparison.) +/- 2% would be +/- 0.04 volts or 1.96 to 2.04 volts. For the display on the digital meter to be meaningful, it would have to be +/- less than 1 count. Or in this case +/- 0.0005 or 0.025% or almost 100 timee as accurate than the Simpson. However, it is probably rated at +/- .1% +/- one count. 0.1% of 2.000 is 0.002 At this point, it is ALREADY +/- 2 counts off in the display. So, the bottom line is this. If you have a 3-1/2 digit display on a digital volt meter, it had better be rated at 0.025% accuracy, or the LAST digit doesn't mean a damn thing. It may as well be a 2-1/2 digit display.

Columbia introduced the LP in '48 and offered to share the technology with other manufacturers. Sarnoff took a sniff, then went home to RCA and told his engineers to dust off the 45 system which had languished in developement for a number of years. He unveiled it some time in '49. Ultimately, of course, the 45 became the preferred medium for pop singles while the LP ruled for classics and jazz. Also ultimately, all the labels manufactured records at all the speeds.

Steven made some comments about Mercury using red or black labels -- and this got me to thinking: did Mercury, Capitol, or other record labels have some sort of color code for their 45rpm records? Now -- I know for a fact that RCA, when the 45's were first introduced, used color coding for the records themselves -- blue for R&B, red for classical, yellow for children's, etc. Within a year or so they all went back to black. However in the case of labels, I've seen them in varying colors and up till now paid no attention to them. But here are some samples: Platters: Blue label. Georgia Gibbs: Black label. Leslie Gore: Early records, black, later records, red with white and black (probably a design change). I forget who, but some of my Mercury records are red. With Capitol I have red and green for 50's, in the 60's (Beatles for example) yellow and orange. Did these colors have any significance, or were they just random? -- Gary E.

I'd say that the difference was the availability of replacement parts. I give Simpson a LOT of credit for keeping all the parts available for so long.

Does that copper "nail" then have a small male thread on the end? Boy, if that is the case, and the tip is broken off with the threaded copper stub broken off flush in there, I think you'd just be better off shopping for something new and better. My personal favorite is the Weller WTCP? series of irons. Passive temp control and a conical tip for much better heat flow. They have some quirks, but once you know them they last for just short of forever. And they do a much better job than the one you've been using. They are commonly found on ebay for $25-35, but you don't know if they're working or not. I THINK new ones are still sold, but they're over $100 and they come with the stand in 2 parts rather than the old style with the single part stand which I prefer. I used to be able to pick these up at swap meets for $5-10, but people seem to be getting wise. - ----------------------------------------------- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711 USA ----------------------------------------------- Article: 321277 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: robert casey Subject: Re: Rip In Speaker References: <1124564035.959548.159350@g47g2000cwa.googlegroups.com> Message-ID: Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2005 02:48:15 GMT RadioGary wrote: > Hi Guys, > > What the best way to fix just a slight rip in a speaker about a half > inch > long?

Put a dab od glue on the torn spot, press the patch onto it, then smooth out the glue making sure it is fully absorbed. Once it's done, it holds together really well. An alternative, that Syl mentioned some time back is a product sold in garden stores called "flower pot sealer." It's a latex based spray. I can attest to it's functionality. a few years back I spilled some on my Levis. I now have an area that looks like ruberized cloth. And it hasn't peeled off either. I would think that using it in one of those trigger grip spray bottles, it would be perfect to treat the entire paper cone with.
