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'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.

    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.

  • @bigcbradio
    @bigcbradio 2 месяца назад

    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.

    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.

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

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/
