Добавлен 24 сен 2016
I retired from my full time job of 25 years. As if this house/farm wasn't enough to keep me busy, I went out and got a part time job. This page is mainly electronics related, but I will occasionally add some mechanical work as well. Looks like now I will also add farm work and animals too. I'm still trying different cameras and editing methods to try and keep my videos as action packed as possible.
Casontimer HT1-257h LED Clock Repair.
Found an old LED studio wall clock that must have taken a hard hit. Can we rebuild it? the $6 Million Dollar Clock. I would say faster, but that is not a good quality for a clock.

I think the ferrite antenna issue is solved (mostly). Just waiting on some fabric to see if the new speaker and frame will work out.

Why is this stage wash light so temperamental? It's bad behavior is even effecting the other lights. Bad solder joints - just as I suspected.
Franklin Radio C 101 Part 1

Well, since it seems like everybody wants way too much money for old broken down vacuum tube stuff, I found a transistor radio to work on. I know it makes noise, but doesn't receive any stations.

I decided to dust off the old S40-A and take it for a spin. I wasn't too happy with the performance. How did I forget this capacitor???
Yanmar Tractor 2 Year Check In
Просмотров 602 месяца назад
I've had the SA424 for a little over two years now. Still no complaints. When I mow without the front bucket attached, it's a bit light in the front end which makes the steering less effective. Leaving the loader attached but removing the bucket seems to be the answer.

Thanks ❤
Thanks ❤
Nice diagnosis
I assumed it was something like that, good to know though thanks
I have that exact radio. And on the LED on one side is dark. I can still see the frequency but it is major hard while driving at night. I can't find any Video on how to replace the LED.
Sorry, haven’t had to get into that yet.
I had the same issue but inside of soldering I have press the transformer couple of times. It seems to fix the issue. Thanks for sharing sir!
I still have mine too. I used it back in the early 80's during my electrical/instrumentation training. To be honest it took me a while to change to digital. These are still being built today so that should speak to their worth. I was interested to find that the telephone techs used the Triplett 310. Good video.
audio background is crap, fix it.
Very nice presentation. Reminds me of my old slide rule days. Old school but they were very accurate as well. And you had to use your brain to read them. Also good! Thanks for sharing, Tim.
Very interesting product
Thank you for posting this, Tim. I have one just like yours, and it works fine. Like yours, the integrated circuit work was not particularly attractive...very typical of that of the era. I am looking for a schematic for it also.
Thanks for the info! I hope it sounds decent when back together. Other than it being solid state it is reminiscent of the vacuum tube Tombstone Radios.
Yep, we Tims have our own ways of doing things! Thanks for sharing.
Another great out-of-the-box, off-the -chain repair. 👏
....Aw, real shame!! I have just about refurbished the self same meter, & its now working just fine!!! Mine just now has only a cracked meter glass, don't suppose you would be interested in selling your meter glass?? { They ain't too easy to find, these days!!?? } Cheers, Fred G4ZWI
Unfortunately mine too has a crack in the upper right corner. Even so it would probably cost a lot to ship across the pond.
I hope you mounted that antenna on the chimney!
In the process of putting up a 30’ tower for the Antron then possibly a beam when funding allows. But for now, just the 99 goes up.
@@timtimeprojects3576 That is a worthy endeavor! I see lots of fun in your future! 73
This did the trick! Grandma wanted to say Thank You!
Can a non-backlit keyboard be replaced with a backlit keyboard? would it work? Thanks..
No, there is an additional connector coming from the motherboard. I imagine even if you had the connector, the computer would need to be configured as well.
@@timtimeprojects3576 Well, I went ahead and I ordered a backlit keyboard anyway for my T560 and it plugged right in and worked perfect even though it originally had a non backlit keyboard.
I just bought a TS 2000 and it has five pin connector on silver eagle I like to connect it to the 2000. What is the connection to the eight pin connector?
The manual should call that out for you. There are some things you won’t need, like the frequency up and down or phantom power if the mic has a amp and battery.
Remember, the BFO couples to the IF chain via a “gimmick” capacitor on the schematic, which in real life is a pair of twisted insulated wires. You can vary the BFO coupling by futzing with the twisted wires.
Thanks. First time I ever heard of a gimmick capacitor I racked my brain looking for it. Then thought somebody cut it out and twisted the wires together. Your knowledge is much appreciated.
@@timtimeprojects3576 You welcome. That was my initial impression, as well.
Where are the tubes? 😊 interesting stuff, Tim.
That is all transistor radio. It from 1973, so maybe the relics Im used to but it’s 50+ years old.
So will there be a part 2? I'm really frustrated because I wanted to follow your logic to see how to fix something like this. You've left me hanging.
Part 2 is out and three is being edited. Thanks for watching and I hope it can help you out somewhat.
Also see: *Jim Burns.* He really tares them down, and does nice cabinet work.
Hey Tim ! I have a Yanmar SC2450. Looks the same but yellow. My mower deck is same too. I don’t drive over my deck. I disconnect deck and pull it out on right side and leave mower wheels on to roll it around.
You had me scratching my head on that. Had to go look. My rear wheels do not turn, only the front ones. Drats!
I’ve got a radio that looks just like that, but I don’t think it’s a replica. Edit: Please consider your viewers. Watching you run a knob while listening to nothing but static with no reason given for what you’re doing is frustrating for those of us watching. You could have deleted most of that footage, and the video would not have suffered any meaning.
I do agree. I did mention that the last half of the video was just tuning around. I would have edited it better but was fighting with my outdated computer for editing rights.
@@timtimeprojects3576 🙂
Oh. It looks like one of those cheap Chinese receivers. Is the background hum your workshop or the radio power supply. All the very best with the repair.
Most of the hum you are hearing is coming from a dehumidifier that doesn't want to be outdone by the air conditioner and the water pump. It's a new streaming camera, and the mic pics up everything. I am trying out different software to hopefully eliminate.
@@timtimeprojects3576 I WILL FINISH YOUR LAST SENTENCE **FOR** YOU: "the hum that is coming out of the radio speaker!!" Did i finish your sentence right?
Hey Tim and others, would replacing the power supply be the fix? What exactly is broken here? Mine has the same problem of flashing on plugging it in after a power outage. Is it something in the power circuitry or the supply itself?
perfecto! estoy en el mismo problema: falló la fuente de alimentación y voló el ic1706 + d1705! gracias por compartir!
Thanks 🙏
My pleasure
Thanks 🙏
Thank You for your video, just saved me a new opener .Mine was broke at the same one also. Thanks again!
No interference??.....lol....go to 40 or 80 meters hf and check again! Youll find LOTS of noise coming from that pile of junk!!
What are you monitoring the tone on ?
The best place to understand superhet is to look into Edwin Armstrong start from there then go to the technical stuff.
Thank you for taking off the knobs … now I know how to align those correctly to the plates.
What you have there is one of the last pot metal casting microphones they made before they quit making them (aka junk). The older D-104's were very good quality, not pot metal, the screws holding it together were real, and the front and rear plates were machined and had a perfect flat mirror refection. Even the Silver Eagle reflection was perfect and did not look like the reflection of a fun-house mirror. Hopefully you saved the original element and didn't crush the foil, they can be repaired. Also, you may have trouble with the contacts not working properly all the time, this is also because the latest versions, like the one you have there used crappy contacts. Sorry to be so negative, but it's the truth. If you like the look of the D-104, find yourself an old one. You can tell if its old by examining it to make sure that the front plate is actually a separate plate that is removable and that the reflection in the back plate is a flawless mirror.
Thanks. I did keep the original element ( actually I had to replace it around 1980 due to over experimenting as a teen). This element came from the Astatic Store, so it’s a keeper. Other than looks, I am not a big fan of the newer ones either.
@@timtimeprojects3576 I didn't meant to hate on you, it's companies that use to make quality products and then go cheap that irritate me. I've had about 100 of these over the last 40 yrs and still have more than 25 of them and I have seen where they came from and how they went south. Anyways, have fum tinkering, that's how we learn.
I have the Icom 7200. The power cord has dual blade fuses. Over time the fuse blades oxidise and the power drops off. Clean the blades on the fuses and power restored
I had the same issue. After watching your video I traced it to a faulty power cord (sockets loose). Thanks!
The practice of putting two resistors in parallel is to up the total wattage. When these were sold, it probably made sense rather than supplying a high wattage single resister, as the ones used were likely already in stock and cheaper.
I understand the logic now. Thanks
Good save!
I changed the belt in my dryer today and when I checked to see if the drum was spinning with the door open I saw the orange glow and thought I now had an overheating problem. I guess because we're not used to seeing what goes on inside the drum when it's running. It definitely put me in panic mode. Thanks for sharing your video and relieving my fears.
I was having similar weird behavior. I tried resetting the connectors. Then found your video. The same pin on mine had a cracked solder joint. I cleaned off the old solder and resoldered the whole transformer and it's fixed! Thanks for this quick video.
Thanks 🙏
Awesome video! Pointed me to the exact same transformer with a cracked solder joint!
Comprato. Mercato. Delle. Pulce. ,non si. Sente. Niente, messo pack,batterie nuove. Niente ,niente .solo. rumore.
Very bad resolution!
Shut
You forgot the little fuel filter in front of the water separator filter, it comes in the Yanmar kit........that one is not so fun, next time I will clamp the inlet fuel hose so fuel does not run all over, it's a gravity feed.
Yikes. Thanks for the reminder.
what you have is a 40 g m r s radio and you forgot to tell the world you need a LICENSE to use and the radio need's to be set up to a G M R S tower then you can come up and play in my house.
Thanks. Thought I did mention the license part tho. I did get mine.
The V4 has a built in up-converter and works much better than direct sampling method in receiving in those bands. It's even slightly less expensive than the V3. An external up converter or an SDR that's designed for that frequency range will also work better than this method, but will cost extra.
Greetings Tim, Thanks much for the Vid! Have the same Model 20 guts in a Model 220 (has phonograph). Can you share with me your part source (Caps and Resist)? This will be my first radio project as the noob that I am. If you could share the Filter Condenser cap polarization source or details, that would help a lot. In fact, any directional for capacitors would be helpful along the way. Best, MoxieBella
Welcome and good luck. Like anything it just takes practice and you will do great. For the capacitors and resistors, I use “Just Radios” be sure to check out Mr Carlson’s Lab for a lot of information about capacitors and techniques. As far as the polarization on the filter cap, I found a redraw on the web and they were listed but the original canister I am pretty sure had non-polarized caps. The schematic should be here. philcoradio.com/library/index.php/service-info/early-schematics/
Thanks 🙏
