Message-ID: Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 14:07:15 GMT There's a fellow with this Ebay handle who often bids (and frequently wins) items I'm interested in. Well, I know that's nothing especially unusual, BUT this guy has been buying so much neat stuff over YEARS (and not, near as I can tell, reselling it) that it really arouses my curiosity. Yeah, I know it's none o' my bleepin' business, but I'd sure love to see his place. Near as I can tell, he seems to have accumulated a truly world class collection of early 1920's gear over a period of several years, at least. Does anybody on this NG know if if Mr. bigalarsen has a website or if he operates a museum open to the unwashed masses? By now, his collection likely surpasses the AWA, Munchausen (or whatever that dentist's name was) and the Smithsonian combined!

If you mention finding mods or tube sockets juggled around for other type tubes someone will always suggest "oh, they had to do things like that back during the war" They even say this when its a 1946 set thats been monkeyed with. Out of a 60-70 year old set's history the war only lasted about 4 of those years so I not only suspect, but can say from experience, that many of these "wartime" mods are simply poorly considered repairs done by some hacker at some other point in history who wanted to utilize the parts he had at hand. For me, I don't find that as a desirable piece of the set's history. I don't like mods as a rule. Even if you have documentation it tends to go astray over time. Some are worth the effort and justifiable - like the 6X5 workarounds but others are akin to painting the radio fire-engine red.

The e mails take a lot less time that looking for the part, though. Is that really something the customer should pay for though?

I am thinking that the cabinet was probably sold separately and am wondering whether anyone on the list acquired that cabinet or whether anyone might have a 6-S-229 or similar cabinet with which he or she might be willing to sell.

I commend your efforts to uncover as much information about it as you can, very interesting reading. Obviously this was aimed at the more affluent market with its' $75.00 price.

Basic information on how to do it here: http://www.gvtc.com/~edengel/TV7Meter.htm Contrary to the article, there ARE DPMs made that don't require an isolated power supply. You can rectify one tap of the tester's filament supply to run the voltmeter in most cases. Modutec is one supplier of these meters. Certainly not the "period correct" replacement for a piece of vintage gear, but it can help get an old tester running again until a suitable analog meter can be found.

Just finished watching a great program on the local Detroit PBS station called "Radio Revolution: The Rise and Fall of the Big 8". It's a look back at CKLW (Windsor, Ontario, 800kHz) in the 1960s and 70s when this 50kW powerhouse covered the eastern half of the U.S. I enjoyed it on two levels--as someone growing up in Detroit during CK's heyday and as one who was working in Detroit broadcasting at the time and knowing some of the people on this show. If you are into the history of broadcasting or grew up listening to the station you will probably enjoy watching this program. It may run on your local PBS station; if not, it is (or will soon be) available on DVD.

I have a complete if rough Victor (I'm almost sure) electric motor and motor board from this era I bought at a flea near here. It has gold plated fittings. Would this help/ be suitable?

The best buys I make are always from people who don't know the value of stuff. Then there's the folks, like the aforementioned, who think their stuff is worth thousands of dollars when it really isn't. I've seen people hold on to collections of stuff for decades, hoping to sell it for thousands of dollars, and they eventually end up going to their graves having not made a cent (noteably, many items I've purchased have been from the family of persons who have recently passed away).

There were literally hundreds, if not thousands of brands of acoustical phonographs, once the Victor and Columbia patents expired. In fact it was possible to purchase many different brands of off-the-shelf parts to assemble an upright phonograph...all you needed was the cabinet. Have a local cabinet maker make a run of cheap cabinets, put in a set of cheap parts, have a decal made up, your choice of name, and presto, a new brand was born. You could also purchase complete machines shipped to your store, with your own "private" brand on them, from eager manufacturers. Note, this applies only to disc phonographs, as by the time the patent situation got to the point where independent vendors could sell product, the interest in cylinder phonographs was nil. There were a very, very few cylinder machines made in the US by manufacturers other than Edison or Columbia, but they were not in the market long. The situation was different in England and Europe, where there was a much larger variety of brands in the cylinder field. In the USA, probably the most popular brands in cabinet model 78rpm phonographs (gramophones) were Victor, Brunswick and Columbia, in probably that order. As far as "rarity" of upright acoustical gramophones. I'll bet that each and every one of the people that reads this post knows right now where to go out and find one. Almost every antique mall has at least a few examples. Not that you would want to buy what you find, but I am sure we can all find one within a half-day, somewhere.

If you're not a stickler for originality, you could always do what I did with an Sony shortwave portable I recently obtained. It had been submerged at some point in its past, and everything worked after a good cleaning but the tuning meter, which had corrosive crud in the magnet assembly and was impossible to revive. Like the SX-28, this set's meter had a pointer which rested at the right, and all I had to replace it with was a meter with a pointer that rested on the left (as most do), so I took a picture of the meter scale and used Paint Shop Pro to reverse the position of all the scale markings, and my HP photo printer to print the results the exact same size and colors as the original meter's face. I glued the printed scale onto the face of the replacement meter and installed it in the set. It worked perfectly....only a pro can tell it ain't quite right. If you did this with an SX-28, you's probably have to take the image of your modified meter scale to a kinko's or somewhere that could print it onto an opaque white or yellow plastic film, and cut it to fit inside of your working meter's body. Sure, it's not original, but exact replacements for SX-28 meters are hard to come by and typically command ridiculous prices on eBay because of the demand (these meters tend to warp and burn over many decades due to the heat generated by the pilot light). -Scott Article: 326979 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: Ron in Radio Heaven Subject: Re: i need.....annual quest for unobtainable parts References: <1133575105.947302.199710@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups.com> <4JydnQlUvJrNng_enZ2dnUVZ_s-dnZ2d@sigecom.net> <11p4mgocs6le2c6@corp.supernews.com> Message-ID: Date: Sun, 04 Dec 2005 04:55:39 GMT Hagstar wrote: > Bruce Mercer wrote: > (something like Clough/Bangles, Clough/Bangles???

Any >ideas as to what value resistor I should try? Am I on the right track here? >Any advice is greatly appreciated. The EQ part of a ceramic or Crystal cartridge is somewhat complex if you expect to have "correct" equalization for every record you intend to play. I would say the minimum "correct" loading for a ceramic cartridge (without knowing what cartridge you intend to use) would be 500K. Now...using a ceramic cartridge (which is usually 1V or less output and sometimes in the few hundreds of millivolts) in an aux input from a ss preamp will already be an unacceptable load since most AUX inputs offers about an 100K load. Now, you could insert say a 500K resistor in series with the cartridge but then you'd divide by about 1/5th the available voltage to the AUX input, not counting the slight high-frequencies attenuation, depending on the input capacity of the preamp. Ceramic cartridges are designed to offer a "somewhat" acceptable EQ all by themselves by design. The output being mostly capacitive, proper loading is necessary for good bass reproduction. You can always load the cartridge with a very low resistance and feed the MAG phono input. A low resistance will convert a constant amplitude transducer to a constant velocity one...Somewhat, since the high frequencies are attenuated, one by the mass of the transducer and second by the the mechanical damping "sometimes" purposely designed in the cartridge. So excessively loading the cartridge with a low value resistor will dampen the low frequencies and "enhance" the high-frequencies (yeah I know, I'm taking shortcuts here...) So...Feeding the result to a magnetic phono input will bring back the "correct" equalization after passing through the RIAA EQ but... You'll have to take into account the many EQ available at the time for 78s and you'll find yourself scratching your head for a good while trying to figure what is good, what is acceptable and what is feasible on the cheap. John Byrns and I had an exchange on the matter (which I haven't finished yet I recall now) a while ago, and the short answer is...There is NO short answer to your question. What I suggest is simply to build a small pre-preamp using a single transistor used as an emitter follower or best, use a JFET.
