Don't feel bad at all.  I scewed up, I confused the Z-28 with the car I was thinking of, the Datsun 280Z...   Hey, in one month from today I'll be 50. I'm finding it easier to watch and laugh as my mind starts slipping. If I try clinging too hard, it's going to be a painful and long detachment process. I don't have much time for the separation anxiety these days anyway.  I have a question that I'll ask you over in the tech forum btw Karyoker.  I'm wondering if you might know of any decent sites to find replacement parts, and tubes for older tube equipment.. By "decent" I mean reliable, reasonably inexpensive, etc..  I was using Lentini (I think) for older radio rigs, and another place in TN for tubes...

TTYL !

I still got 3 tube caddies over at the farm but they are tv caddys Of course some are the same such as 12ax7a like in mic preamps...  I assume you are talking ham radio rigs....Here is a site I have never bought from but it looks like they got decent selection  
here

 I havnt done anything  with short wave transmitters for years but I would think the final amp tubes would be scarce....We farmed out part of our tv tower to an fm station and I was getting some good finals from them like 1 kw for cb boots but they ae long gone..

I had a cb shop in Cheyenne and all the ranchers fould out I was an expert on the old Johnson White Face tubers...They were the only ones they could get back to the ranch with.... When I got done with them (all it took was shorting the 100 ohm resistor in the cathode of the final) and tuning' dip grid, peak plate....

Still have my Swan 500C, Hammarlund, and Heath CW stuff, etc.. Hallicrafter's 40's-60's SWR rigs, Lafayette portable, National stuff.... Looking to pick up a Japan radio receiver, a few are affordable.... Thanks for the site.  It even has 7027's for my Ampeg   About the CB stuff, yeah...I've got the conversion 2510's (is that right ?  been awhile) SSB mod rigs. I miss the day's of low tech fun...Keying up around the RC plane sites,  etc...getting on channel 9 and badgering REACT, the list goes on and on.  Did I mention transmitting on the neighbors television sets ?





OK, now you've got me reminiscing about the days of lying around stoned watching the white dot in the center of the B&W TV fade into nothingness following Perry Mason.

A rice burner?//// There are some good ones  Yaseu comes to mind.......   Also volkswagens first computerizes ignitions you cloud kill them with  100watt kicker on 11 meters...  Wwv over here in fort collins kills alot of the garbage trucks that get close....  I killed all the tvs in a 20 mile radius with a spark gap using a model t coil....

Yaesu is excellent.   AO...


Wasn't there something with a car horn, parabolic reflector, and ignition coils ?  Some nuisance activity ?    20 MW radio noise burst ?


I've got to go do a few things, pull myself from the computer for abit !  catch you later !

Dont ring a bell, you can key the coil primary with a horn relay but paroabolics are SHF or microwave rf...

I worked on a missle guidance radar in the Navy that had a 6 foot parobolic antenna.. It had a nutator didnt spin just swung in about a 20 degree angle... The rf was modulted with signal that varied from 850 to 950 hz...   The missle with 4 wings and an antenna on each wing could tell where it was in the beam would stay in the center and the old anolgue computer would direct it to the intercept point...

Now you could stand out in front of the antenna and talk in a normal volume and your voice was reflected out to a mile (had to be pointing directly at somone)  at the same volume....  Tomorrow page 2....

However I did work on guidance radar.. It had a 6 foot parabolic anteena with a nutator.. The nutator desnt spin but swings in about a 10 degree arc.. The rf was modulated with a 850-950 hz signal sync'd with the nutator...  The missle with 4 wings and antenna on each wing the knew where it was in the beam and the old analogue computer would guide it to the intercept point (maybe)

You colud stand out in front of this antenna speak at a normal volume at the nutator..If the antenna which had a b/w camera and 50 power zoom was aimed at somebody a mile away they would hear you like you were 5 feet away...Page 2 tomorrow...

dah dit dah dit dah dah dit dah.......

The ß does not exist anymore in the new improved younger version of German. Are you just writing that out of habbit?

no probleme for me, now i can see thet translator over web are bad and have a result who say nothing  :O

I don't think a language translator could be precise.  It likely wouldn't take into account certain aspects of diction, and tweak a composition accordingly.

A real translator has to shift the verb translation from the original to the language being translated to..In some languages it even concerns gender..  Also sentence structures are very subtle between dialoues or even different regions of a country..For example an old guy I think he was from Portugal out at the ranch says Welll i go trow the horses over the fence some hay...  

But the translators used here dont come close to slauhtering any language like voice messaging or the expressions or cliques used here...

In fact we are breaking the rules using formal english, not using worn out phrases and actually making sense..

Exactly Karyoker, and like in english, but more-so german, you have situations involving imperfect tense, or the several types of past tense conjugation that likely won't show on some standard translator. Certain phrases, and nuances aren't taken into consideration, and intended meaning often isn't conveyed.

Yeah, we always joke around how from one language to another language sentences jumble


"Throw grandmom from the train,  a kiss"

You Twidgits (that's what we submariners call electronics techs) need to get a life.

Pull yer heads out of the sand and look around you at all the tight jeans and sweaters.

Man, if you can't see all that, then I need to get you down here for a week of intense
Male Bonding.....Not Male Bondage!, Male Bonding.

Karyoker's the tech.  I just turn on the things and start yacking.  If something doesn't work, usually I call a tech, and he helps me over the phone..

"Is your power supply on?"   often is his advice


I recently bought an Eico tube tester...  Ebay is great for certain things.. Oh yeah, about those tight jeans and sweaters..... what's the URL ?  I bought a pair of jeans a few years back, but since I'm now a shut-in that likes tweaking some of my tube amps... I really don't need clothes.    I'm still kicking myself for not buying Dynaco tube amps from J&R around 1995 when they were blowing them out at amazingly affordable prices.... I know they aren't McIntosh, or Marantz with a nice sized heat-sink, but still, great sounding... Just have my Scott, and Fisher tube audio amp now...

How much was that Eico and did it still have the tube chart?   I still got one or two of those out at the farm somewhere...

The Eico I have is model 635, It was in pristine condition, and does have the operating instructions, and tube data

chart 635-7051


I wonder if that's the same chart you are talking about

Auction closed at 40 dollars.. It wasn't the tube tester I was hoping for,  what are the really good ones, Webcor ?  I don't recall...  Yet it does the job
