How do you know that? In fact, I was watching that auction, I am a collector of early TVs and had planned to bid on it. When I noticed the auction had been cancelled, I emailed K***n to see when or if it would be relisted. He responded just hours ago stating he still had the set, but would now be taking offers privately. I don't agree with that, listing it on eBay and trying to sell it off eBay, so I told him I would pass on it. > This way he doesn't have to pay the ebay fees. What he did was > is in direct violoation of the ebay terms of service. That would indeed be the case, if that is what happened. Unfortunately we don't have the full story. I would have loved to see the auction go to it's normal ending, to see if my bid would have won the set, but now I'll never know. If he is a scoundrel, he is probably no worse than you making up stories about him and impersonating him on the internet. BTW, you posting his name on the internet was a violation of eBay's TOS also. More old TVs will come along, I'm not going to lose any sleep over this one. I suggest you get over it also. jim menning Article: 327830 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Brenda Ann" Subject: Needed: Schematic for Guild Model 484 spice chest radio Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2005 10:48:58 +0900 Message-ID: Anyone got one?

You can add some alcohol/rosin mix to the tuning shaft pulley to increase the friction. If that doesn't do it, you can also reduce the clock spring tension on the capacitor tuning shaft-- It's hidden behind the gear on the front of the tuning cap. Two screws will allow loosening the spring tension. Pete Article: 327839 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Scott W.

If so, I remember seeing it when it originally aired on NBC, and it was from the mid-1970s. I remember that the radio gear in the episode that I saw looked pretty authentic, as if the prop guy actually cared enough to get everything mostly right, unlike so many other Hollywood productions that used vintage radio gear as set pieces. -Scott Article: 327844 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Omer Suleimanagich" Subject: #211 vacuum tubes Message-ID: Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2005 06:15:08 GMT What are these tubes used for? http://cgi.ebay.com/211-AMPEREX-tubes-2-pieses_W0QQitemZ5843472329QQcategoryZ64629QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Omer Article: 327845 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Rune" Subject: Laugh Of The Day - Part 2 Message-ID: Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2005 06:38:26 GMT It's back and I wasted a message to try to alert the lister that he had misjudged the age and value and might try looking at other listed radios: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6590273590 Got back a nasty reply that I didn't know squat about old radios, it was >from the 50s, and if I didn't like it...

They always paint it as some kind of recent trend towards eliminating Christmas from public life. Wrong........! 30 years ago, the school I was attending decided to change the name of its December dance from the Merry Christmas dance to the Happy Holidays dance. The requests to change the name came not from liberals or the ACLU, but from very conservative members of the non-christian clergy who had their delicate religious sensibilities offended by the mere mention of the holiday that bears Christ's name in a public place. Most people thought it was a bit silly, but it was done, and no one really gave a poop about it after that. Folks, The whole tempest-in-a-teapot brouhaha that Fox is exploiting now came about because some folks just love getting their panties in a bunch about religion, insisting that their way is the only true path to God. In the current incendiary political climate it is quite easy for moral entrepeneurs and pundits to pump this "controversy" to absurdly ridiculous heights of paranoia, because they know that some people will believe almost anything they hear as long as it fits in with their political philosophy. Somehow, I doubt that I will have to worry about stormtroopers interrupting my Christmas dinner for a long, long time. :-) -Scott Article: 327848 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "xrongor" Subject: Re: eBay postings allowed in this group???

I did, however, get the radio working (after undoing one obvious hack, a wire from the antenna was connected to the LO side of the tuner). The (main) problem ended up being that I had two 12BE6's to work with, and both of them were bad. :( I ended up robbing one out of a working radio on a whim and voila, the spice chest started working. I did end up having to replace the coupling capacitor between the 1st audio and output, and the 35W4 was also pretty much kaput, as when I cranked up the radio it would die out completely before coming back up to a very distorted full volume (at least I know the filters are good). So... add to my shopping list 2 12BE6's and 2 35W4's. Why is it that the tubes I have plenty of kicking around here (12AV6, 12BA6 and 50C5) are never the ones that I need for a project? :-/ Article: 327875 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Brenda Ann" Subject: Re: Laugh Of The Day - Part 2 Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 08:36:49 +0900 Message-ID: References: "Brian Hill" wrote in message news:kH%pf.4513$Vr.715@fe06.lga... > > "Rune" wrote in message > news:CFNpf.14072$i1.1798@news-wrt-01.rdc-nyc.rr.com... >> It's back and I wasted a message to try to alert the lister that he had >> misjudged the age and value and might try looking at other listed radios: >> >> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6590273590 >> >> Got back a nasty reply that I didn't know squat about old radios, it was >> from the 50s, and if I didn't like it... >> >> So, it's not just a naive fool, it's a belligerent one. >> >> Mystery solved. >> >> Ray >> > > I told her/him that they got the decimal place wrong on their starting > bid.

I am somewhat new to collecting and using antique radios...however, I do have a few that I've either fixed myself or had restored. Most are AM only sets. I really enjoy listening to them. However, in recent times the "powers that be" have chosen a front loading washer to replace an aged conventional unit. Trouble is, this washer uses a DC motor and some sort of solid state speed control that just absolutely trashes the majority of the AM band, at least as far as these old radios are concerned. I don't think this is the fault of the radios--most modern plug-in sets are also affected, though battery operated ones are a toss up. I've tried some line filters on both the radios and the washer to no avail. Now I'm not sure what to do. The washer is run fairly often as lots of laundry goes through it. Any thoughts? Solutions?

I don't think so.

Flat up to 7.5 kHz -10 db at 9 kHz and -23 at 10 kHz. The coils read 250 mh not adjustable with a cheep meter (I will verify with a good meter). I did replace the mica caps with new mica caps even though the old ones checked good. If anything fails it will be the coils.

It uses these un-obtanium Telefunken tubes it in. Some I have, some I'm bidding on and some I'm waiting for. However, I would also like to make some substitutions using adapter socket/base assemblies. Such being the case, does anyone here have some suggestions for the following tube types, and what the American substitutions for them might be? DAF11 DCH11 DF11 DL11 UY11 They are 1.4 volt filament tubes. (except for the rectifier, 50v) Alternatively, I could use 6.3 volt tubes, as they are all wired in parallel in the battery position. But I would prefer the 1.4 volt equivalents. Thanks Jeff -- RESTRICTED AREA. Anyone intruding shall immediately become subject to the jurisdiction of military law.

I'm asking the price i paid for it + shipping since i only need the volume pot, or i will keep it for parts. -- Daniele ^___^ http://www.tuberadio.it Article: 327980 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Buck Frobisher" References: <11qlmn2mgajmd1b@corp.supernews.com> Subject: Re: OT Sorta- New One Hundred Year Old Wood Wall Phono Restoration Now on Binaries Message-ID: Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 15:36:42 -0500 "Hagstar" wrote in message news:11qlmn2mgajmd1b@corp.supernews.com... > Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for > an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, > non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice Jeez, I posted this old chestnut last year and got singed for it.

Same thing happened in the early years of transistor portable radios. You see lots of "6 Transistor" sets, "Ten transistor" sets and so on. I have one that proclaims "16 Transistor", but most of the transistors are strap parallel in pairs. Which does nothing; the transistor with the lower B-E voltage drop hogs all the current and does all the work. Some transistors were used as diode detectors (using the B-E connection with the collector open circuit).

Shipping charges are coming up $73 UPS Ground from PA to MO. If I consider the total package weighing 30 lbs including box and packing and possible oversize charges, based upon my past shipments of that nature I could easily ship that package from my location in MO to you in PA for $20 or a little less via Fed-Ex Ground or UPS Ground. I always charge actual shipping cost and no more. The main problem is you're trying to justify packing charges by The UPS Store. Don't be fooled thinking they'd do a better job than you. Good boxes are free if you know where to look. Packing paper works just as good as foam peanuts, if not better, when properly used. I've never even considered passing on packing or handling charges to buyers... it's just a matter of doing good business. Spend a half an hour packing your own radio, do it right, and pass on the savings to your buyer. You'll get higher final auction values if you do. Steve P.

You're supposed to measure 21 ft from the end of the tape and cut off 1/2" of sensing tape >from the lifetime supply sized reel and stick it on the oxide side. Sure sounds great. I'm listening to a pre-recorded Mantovani Orchestra at 7 1/2 ips I got out of a thrift shop. Analog really DOES sound better.

Message-ID: Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2005 04:26:53 GMT Art, I think a lot of people are seeing this radio as you are. Compared to other non-restored radios on eBay. (I think that is how your are comparing the BIN price. Right?). I purchased this one unrestored and non functional for about 50 bucks plus shipping (wish I kept the box and cost sticker now). There is no profit only expense in the shipping cost. That is shipping and new materials only. Still it looks like I MUST find a cheaper way of packing and shipping. Thanks Art, Paul.

From: Ron Ramirez References: Message-ID: Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2005 05:31:19 GMT Hi Paul That's a beautifully restored set, I don't think anyone will argue that point. The shipping is a killer. Using the calculator, I get $67.26 to my location. Pack it yourself and FedEx Home Delivery will ship it for less than 1/3 that price. I'll ditto everything Steve P. told you. Yes, using paper for packing can work - and successfully so - IF you do it correctly. That means using LOTS of it. You need to completely surround your item with 2 to 3 inches of the stuff. Double boxing is often encouraged, with an additional 2 to 3 inches of packing material surrounding the inner box. If you have so much packing material that it is difficult to close the flaps of the box, you've used enough. If the flaps close easily and you can feel a bit of "give" when you press down on the flaps - add more packing material. But I don't often double box anymore. I use FedEx Home Delivery exclusively for my packages, and I would never go back to UPS unless forced to (one of my radio repair customers insists on UPS, so I reluctantly follow his wishes). Post office? Fuggedaboutit. They totally trashed a Zenith 6-V-27 I shipped once. NEVER again. FedEx Home Delivery is not only cheaper, they are almost always faster. And so far - knock on wood - not one damaged shipment yet on stuff I've sent out via FedEx. -- Ron Ramirez - Evansville, Indiana Visit PhilcoRadio.com at http://www.philcoradio.com/ and the Philco Phorum at http://philcoradio.com/phpBB2/index.php Article: 328018 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "jim menning" References: Subject: Re: A'm I out of line on shipping costs?

You may want to shop around a bit, even Office Max is a poor choice. U-Haul or Ryder may have better carton prices. Ordering cartons, bubble wrap, tape and other packaging supplies on line or from a local distributor is far cheaper than the chain stores. And if you know anyone in your local retail stores, used cartons, peanuts, and bubble wrap are often free for the taking. jim menning Article: 328019 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: Sofa Slug Subject: "Frankentone" radio Message-ID: <_QMqf.45303$6e1.30357@newssvr14.news.prodigy.com> Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2005 06:31:22 GMT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6590333229 Article: 328020 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "HiTech RedNeck" References: <1cydnau49blLZDTeRVn-jg@giganews.com> Subject: Re: maggie box 2 Message-ID: Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2005 09:31:09 GMT > "HiTech RedNeck" wrote in message > news:uMopf.40055$tV6.12530@newssvr27.news.prodigy.net... > > Another chapter in the story of the maggie box (1959 vintage Magnavox > > turntable) -- the idler wheel (the round metal thingie with rubber edge > that > > transfers motion from the stepped motor axle to the turntable) has started > > to make a marked rotational noise (both with and without platter in > place). > > Rr-rr-rr-rr-rr.

This sounded and felt more like a frictiony thing than a wobble or play. Cuing off the suggestion made by Bruce Mercer, I tried some white lithium grease (automotive type), after taking the puppy apart and cleaning all the old lube off of the bushing and shaft surfaces with kerosene on a Q tip. The idler is a very quiet and smooth operator now; the next most prominent noise seems to be from the motor itself (a faint "room-room-room-room-room" sound). This isn't loud enough to be audible over even quiet music, so for present it's a non problem. The changer seems to be raising the tone arm a bit too high during the change cycle. There's a kind of rounded point plastic pip on the spindle side of the head of the tone arm which seems to be intended to touch any record stacked above to verify its presence. However it doesn't just touch that record near the label, it continues to press upward and goes *skreetch* across the grooves on the underside of the next stacked record. Not Good. I wonder if that pip was originally supposed to have a rubber cover (like the tonearm rest has). Or if there's an adjustment specifically for the purpose of varying the height of the tone arm when the changer lifts it.

The boys and girls at Mozilla.org recognized that the Microsoft "clowns" were never going to change their stripes and use industry-approved HTML coding standards, so they wrote a simple "extension" called IE View. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=35&application=firefox Double-click on the Install Now button. Reboot. Now you will find that when you right-click on a web page or a link, there is a new choice - "View This In IE". When you select this choice, the effect is to start IE, and let you view this page AND ONLY THIS PAGE in IE. When you close the page, IE closes and you are back in Firefox. There aren't very many of the unusable "clown" pages, and most of those are not of interest to anyone with more than a primate intelligence level, so I don't use this often. But once in a while it is handy. Avoids the need to clsoe Firefox, open IE, do what you need to do, close IE, reopen Firefox, and get back to what you were originally doing. BTW, although the extension is listed as a Firefox add-on, it works fine with the integrated Mozilla package as well.

Perhaps. The root cause might also be the implication that were it not for the threat of eternal damnation, most of the populace would feel free to lie, cheat, steal, rape, pillage, plunder. That's a terrible way to behave. I'm an aetheist. I try to do what's right not because I'll be beat up otherwise, but because I feel it's the right thing to do. Treating other people the way you'd like to be treated is the glue that holds society together. And I don't think things are getting worse. They're getting better. Not everywhere, no. But by and large society is becoming kinder, gentler. One of the things Guilliani (ex-mayor of NYC) had right is that problems start small. There's no more bear-baiting, and less examples of the human equivalent, pounding on some poor guy just because it's "funny". In slow, very long steps, this makes for a nicer, more tolerant populace. One hundred years ago it's doubtful we could even have this conversation.

I ran a virus scan and a spyware/adware scan. Both came up clean. I deleted cookies, history, emptied the Recycle Bin, etc - no help. The problem seems to have been that my wife accumulated a dozen programs that were automatically starting in the background when the machine booted up. All consumed resources, leaving less and less for the desired program. The machine ground to a halt. As a contributing factor, her C: drive was getting full, leaving less and less space for the virtual memory (pagefile) file. Most of the stealthy starters were audio/video (what I call teeny-bopper programs). QuickTime is a big hog. RealPlayer is worse. Sonic Now was starting. A couple graphics programs were revving up. Windows Messenger was starting. There was an unnamed program that was starting - I finally traced it to a second start mechanism for Windows Messenger! There were others. We are not Internet gamers. If we were, I have no doubt that we would have found game-related stealthy starters in the mix. As a solution, I moved a bunch of stuff from her C: drive to the D: drive to free up space for the virtual memory. I stopped the stealthy starters, mostly through msconfig. Everything seems to be working much better now. Dunno if this will help or not. I can provide more details if you would like. Alan's experience notwithstanding, I am finding Windows XP to be far superior - more stable, less likely to crash, easier to deal with and to recover - to Win98SE, which in turn was far superior to Win95.

A box of dead 45's is worth a few tube bases. An old box of crap could have one really good WE 274 or a nice globe 50 making it a great deal. Pay only about 25 cents ea. for used radio tubes, used TV types are worth nothing .

I had ordered another 83V because I didn't think I had one, but after digging through the multitude of tubes I hadn't inventoried yet...I found one.

It is circa 1938, with push button tuning and multibands. It appears to be intact with only minor damage to the cabinet and a replacement line cord from many years ago. It appears to have been sitting for many years and has a thick layer of dust over the chassis. Also the dial glass has been knocked loose and there is a layer of dust on the dial face. I won't have time to restore this radio for some time, but I would like to make it presentable for now, and prevent damage to the mechanical components (dial cord and tuning capacitor). Can I take a soft brush (e.g., paintbrush) and vacuum the chassis safely? How can I clean the dial face without causing damage? Apart from documenting the dial stringing, is there anything I should do to protect it? (BTW, I realise that big old consoles have little value in today's market. And no, I won't be plugging it in to 'see if it works'.) Thanks for any and all advice, and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Dan (This account is not used for email.)

The 83V had a low voltage drop, to simulate the characteristics of a mercury-vapor rectifier but without the disadvantages (RF noise, internal arcing, slow starting in cold weather). It had close cathode-to-plate spacing and was more expensive to make, so was only used where its low voltage drop was really needed.

Don't think so. No, but I bet there's a store somewhere within driving (or parking, considering your freeways) distance of you that does. We have a ham-radio-supply shop here in town called Amateur Electronic Supply. Shortwave radios, CB, transceivers, training kits for ham licenses, dozens and dozens of antennas (they also sell the Terk AM Advantage for $50), soldering stations (I almost bought a WTCPT for $119 when I was last there) etc. They had a few Vectronics kits, including the AM transmitter for $30. If we have one up here in podunk Milwaukee, I'm sure you do too.

They're actually 2 volt tubes but you can run them with a pair of flashlight batteries and a diode in series. Thats 2.3v when the batteries are fresh but thats not a problem. If it makes ya anxious just use weak batteries :) What is a problem is if the set has rheostats because the lower current draw (60 ma vs 250 ma) isn't going to cause much of a voltage drop in the rheostat. Prices for 30s are all over the block these days.

The basic problem is the filament rheostat and the resistor built into the 35, which will burn up if you try putting even an ampere through them. The RF and output tubes could be run from AC, or all the tubes could be wired in series and run on DC. But the bias circuitry would all need to be changed. You'd end up with something like the model 36 for AC filaments. You could run all the 26s in parallel if you ran a new feed wire in, bypassing the front-panel rheostat. But you'd need a DC supply of 1.5V at 6.3A (actually it would need to be more than 1.5V, to allow for drop in the supply cable). All in all, it's simpler to find some 01As.

Well, ol' Maggie does swing the tone arm over and touch the edge of what's on the stack, but if the changer has triggered off of the ending of a previous record on the platter, she first scrapes the grooves of the record overhead. The arm has two recessed slotted screws on top, one behind and one in front of the pivot post. I assume you mean the one that's on the cartridge (front) side of the post - just want to confirm before potentially hosing something else up. There's also a side by side pair of what looks like set screws on an assembly on the post, as well as two Philips screws on the head which appear to be there to mount the cartridge assembly. Also -- was there supposed to be a relay-like doohickey (technical term) on the underside of the turntable so that when the arm was not sitting with the needle on a record the cartridge input would be shorted out to prevent the changer's mechanical noises from playing through the amp? There's something that looks like it could be that if the contact arms had broken off before I ever got the unit. What's left is an odd looking assembly that has the wires from the cartridge soldered to it and bridged with a 470 Kohm resistor (which seems odd because that will decrease the stereo separation in a circuit having an impedance of that general magnitude), then the leads to the amp are soldered to that. Being exposed, that assembly picks up electrical hum, and I wonder why the engineers would have exposed the signal wiring there just for the sake of a tie point rather than shielding everything all the way between the cartridge and the amp.

What's weird is he talks about doing it to a photocopy, not to non paper surfaces like wood, etc. With such a surface you'd need transfer paper, but this is way too much effort for photocopies: why not just put the copy back into the copier's paper feed and print the second image over the first.

Message-ID: Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2005 14:53:02 GMT EVERYONE: As it is now Christmas Eve, I've finished my shopping and have just about got everything wrapped. Aside from a few loose ends, I've got things shut down here in the shop. So here I am, sitting in front of the computer. Behind me is my Atwater-Kent 60, bellowing out a Christmas episode of the Railroad Hour -- it will probably be playing Christmas OTR the better part of the day. My daughter will be coming home later today and staying for the weekend. The tree is lit, the lights outside are up, and decorations are all over the house. The cats have certainly been into the decorations, but they should be more patient -- I've got plenty of presents for them too. As most of you know, I'm into collector cars and vintage radios, among other things. Naturally I've started a business working with radios from collector cars. In all of this I've found that the cars and radios consist of much more than claiming title to some wood and metal appliances -- it is the people I've met, both locally and online, that make these pastimes what they are. This is the time of year to reflect on what we have, not in material wealth but in friendships made around the world. For everyone who has contributed to this newsgroup, a hearty thanks. For everyone who has befriended another, or has helped out with a radio project of any sort, thank you. May this Christmas season bring you plenty of good cheer, and may the new year bring all of you good health and prosperity! -- Gary E.

If I didn't plan on trying to run the set off of 220 V, I could sub 6.3 or 4 volt tubes. *note: The tubes are in series and across several tapped resistors across the 220 V AC line when NOT in the battery mode. In the battery mode, they are in parallel with each other. I'm scrounging up extra dud tubes to make socket adaptors with, So, I could end up with just about anything.

The Netscape browser is based on the Firefox browser, but has some AOL/Netscape specific crap added to it which is unecessary. I have used Firefox since its early beta versions and recommend it to anyone over the empty shell called IE6.0 from M$. The tabbed browsing is the best feature, especially if you install the "Tabbrowser Preferences" extension. It opens additional pages in tabs instead of additional browser windows. For an email and news reader, I recommend Mozilla's Thunderbird. I have been using it since early beta version and recommend it too. The website is www.mozilla.com. Check it out.

The failed hyperlinks, latency, and inability to access webpages has cleared up. One small problem remains--when I reboot the machine my connection shows 2,900 kbps download speed. After a few days, this drops to about 1,300 kbps. Clearing the browser history, cookies (all options) doesn't improve the download rate--but rebooting the machine does! I do regular scans with Adaware, and keep the machine fairly clean, and also use the Registery Mechanic program on a regular basis.. Turning off the COX security suite (pop up blocker , firewall, etc.) makes a very modest improvement, if any... Any suggestions?

No worry about > getting hit from a bad web site. > > Steve. Steve, In actuality, WinXP is more stable and secure than 98SE ever was. XP is based on the NT core used in WinNT and 2000 that corporations have been using for years. The reason why 98SE is being attacked less by viruses is due to the fact that virus writers are writing viruses for XP as it is on the majority of computers today. Also, in the three years that I have been using XP Pro, I have never had a blue screen. Win XP has the benefit of the more stable NT core, which catches problems which would cause a BSOD in previous versions, and kills them before wreaking havoc on the OS. But still, it is a Micro$oft product. I am making the switch to Linux. I have my system set up as a dual boot with Linspire Five-O. I may also look into other flavors of Linux, but the ease of use that is built into Linspire appeals to me the most.
