Cat Repellent. Let's see if this works.
I have never tried this stuff before, but boy it's almost human repellent. It kinda smells like one of those expensive restaurants that uses more spices than any protein or anything of substance.

1984 zenith system 3 TV. my main TV in 2024, on cable!!
Просмотров 1479 месяцев назад
Yes, this is my only TV hooked up in the house, and I love it! 40 years later, and having nearly been trashed, I saved this TV from a guy about an hour away from where I live. I called spectrum, and they hooked me up with cable. I normally would not have done cable, but I'm too rural to receive over the air TV.

so due to girl issues, needing to sell the house, and with everything else up in the air in making moving forward plans, the XY and everything else needed to come out of the basement. thanks to my neighbors, @BronsonJamesAllison, @rockieandernie, and some other friends we made this possible!! there is still a lot of construction to go, but the portable C.O. is almost ready to be moved wherever ...
Vintage Otis Freight Elevator Sill In Service!!!
Просмотров 9810 месяцев назад
This is at an undisclosed location. It is a manual controlled Otis (2nd I have ever been able to operate my self), that serves at a restaurant in the midwest. For a freight, its pretty fast! The lighting was bad, and it was at night. The single incandescent light was the only source of light in the cab.
Routing Step Switch Calls Over Phone Co. Facilities With Dry Loops
Просмотров 6311 месяцев назад
Following a series of challenging phone conversations and extensive email exchanges, I successfully had my dry loops set up by the telephone company. Dry loops are unique circuits that are not linked to any equipment at the telephone company's end. Essentially, they are straightforward point-to-point analog circuits located within what is known as the same Wire Center. This video showcases my p...
Measuring the voltage on the audio output of a 100W PA amplifier
Просмотров 64Год назад
I was curious, so I decided to measure the voltage that would be fed to a speaker. In this case, I am using a 100W PA system. Results will vary depending on many factors. This however is what it is for this system.
first ringing call through Stromber-Carlson XY step switch!
Просмотров 71Год назад
I got this switch when I was 14 or 15 from a museum in Brimson, MO. It has been moved several times since, and finally has been set up in my basement after extensive modifications. It served Brimson, MO from 1955, till 1986 when it was replaced by a digital switch. A big thank you to all involved in moving, setting up, and SXSPhil, Joe, and Austin for assistance with the initial wiring!
I bought a crossbar PBX! 1971 Fujitsu FXB106 U1
Просмотров 135Год назад
More videos to come! Recently I acquired this 1971 Fujitsu crossbar PBX. It has 40 stations and 13 outbound trunks. The ring back tone is currently being supplied by an old computer I had laying around looping a ring from a #5 crossbar. This switch is enabled for touch tone or rotary dialing. Dial tone is provided from an AE/GTE precise dial tone generator card. If you want to call in to it, ti...
LED Light Rebellion- Going Back to Incandescent
Просмотров 137Год назад
Starting Aug 1st of this year, traditional light bulbs will be banned for manufacturing and sales. Now I am all for saving energy, as none of us want a high utility bill. it seems we are trading tit for tat here. Yes, LEDs save power, but I am more worried about the environmental impacts from the manufacturing and disposal of the plastics in LED bulbs, where as an incandescent have minimal part...
hacking wireless mics with a baofeng radio!
Просмотров 278Год назад
The equipment used here is a Nady Systems U-1100 UHF wireless mic kit, and a UV-5R Baofeng radio. The mic systems operates on a tunable frequency with the default set at 480 MHZ, which is within the range of the baofeng radio (a $25 radio you can get off of ebay). There does not appear to be any sort of PL tone, so this means your wide open to punch in the frequency and go. Side note, the baofe...
1912 Otis Elevator first run since 1989!
Просмотров 36 тыс.Год назад
This is a smooth running machine, with minor work required. Built in 1912, this 3 phase, 7.5 HP unit served in an apartment building until 1989 when the owners sold, and the building closed due to a depressed economy. Though some repairs and additions are needed, there is not reason this can't be re-certified. A customer wanted me to see if I could get the elevator going in this mostly abandone...

Well, this elevator furthermore confirms my dislike for newer elevators... I really have no other comments other than I think these things are garbage

I just purchased this exact model of answering machine, and I put the audio from 0:50 onto mine as well! Haha what a cute little jam
I find it hard that this elevator machinery existed like it just looks like it wants to find a way to jam up
Just an old outlet, replace it and suddenly you don't have any issues
So your saying eu sockets with 240v is any better?
Beautiful clean sounding MG set. I hope this unit is still in service
Basement traction?
Can you fit a queen wized comforter in the washer?
I really want that audio
Great video, thanks!! I loved the sound of that motor and the relays.
Wow that door is fast
That is so cool!
I saw something very similar to that in the institute of mechanical engineers, birdcage walk
will this be saved
Yep! I stopped by a few weeks ago and switched it on and it ran great.
Sometimes its the best
Dang. I would LOVE to see this thing!
I would be happy to get you access to it! Its currently shut off, but it would not be tough to fire it back up! Shoot me an email if you would like more details
@@acrectified Sent you an email :)
@@DieselDucy did my email come through?
@@acrectified Yes. My apologies for the delayed response. I texted you and for some reason it went to my junk folder :(
Mid century centrifugal air unit. What a beautiful piece. I'm glad you saved it. With as many antique buildings being demolished or renovated nowadays, it doesn't surprise me how many of these do just end up in the scrap pile. I seen one twice that size in an old 1890's built school being torn down. I wanted to save it, but had nowhere to put it at the time. Beautiful museum piece.
Awesome! 😍😍
It seemed like this could in theory be restored but it wouldve had to have a really deep cleaning
I would love a crossbar pbx!
Are these bracket lights still available to buy?
Yes, you can still buy Gas lights from a modern manufacturer, but they are expensive!
I know the Point of the ban of incandescent light bulbs.
Update…?
Nice I seen this elevator on a other video where the two dudes fixed it but the door and elevator itself wasn’t in as good condition
That's what i said lol
@@realandrewcinque22 fr tho 😂
The interesting thing is they were built to last an Otis gen2 will not last
I need to get some of that, I hate cats
Why do answering machines seem so complicated. I love it. 😊
Gotta love the classics!
Please keep us updated, might need a similar set up very soon!
New base of operations. Not bad.
Ever other little place you look in an older city you might still be able to find something like this.
It's in good operating condition, and having up/down leveling buttons. Counterweight on the side, basement traction machine?
Its an overhead traction. I will be in more contact with the owners and try and get a machine room video

Ewwww. I have not the courage. Too many people in China last saw the inside doors before succumbing to hunger and thirst.
Very cool sir!
This is not scary?
Elevator seems to be really silent
Dumb.
There is a problem of line answer supervison, because the phone charged before the call was answered. It not supposed to charge as long the one you called did not answer, if no answer and you hangup it suppose to refund.
Pretty cool Sounds like a Eletro-mechanical PBX! with the clicking sounds!
Wow that's freaking cool! You can hear the Line hum coming from that nice line!
This elevator was built like a tank running like a Swiss watch installed 111 yrs ago still has the original winding drum machine, floor relays/selector. I used to work near an office building in N. CA which had a bird cage Otis manually operated elevator, winding drum DC rectifier installed around 1908. It was preserved as an historic part of the building. I did get to see an Otis winding drum machine room in an historic mansion in the PNW which is now a museum still in service, COP and call buttons. DC rectifier in the floor relay controller.
Happy 4th!
You never cease to amaze me!!!
Very cool.
What's up Dan!
Beautiful Otis elevator!
