1976 Fender Jazz. Stolen, found in horrible shape, can I rebuild it? Part 2 of 3
In 2018, my long time friend and fantastic bass player, had his 1976 Fender Jazz stolen from the back of his Jeep. It took years, but it finally resurfaced in a used add here in our town. The bass was defaced, and stripped of all its parts. It was in horrible shape! But I told Tom when the bass was found, if it needed any work, I would fix it and get it back up and running for him. I don't go back on my promises! This is the story of Tom's stolen 1976 Fender Jazz and how I put it back together and gave it back to him, just days before Christmas 2023.

A quick video for my buddy Aron. He dropped off his bass as it was really acting up, shorting out and making lots of noise. I took the cover off to find something crazy!

A hard driving, in your face, full throttle balls to the wall blues band, that touch on a bit of Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Freddie King, and many more for inspiration, always trying to put 110% into each show! This short video highlights only a small portion, and by no means captures the full experience. Songs in this clip include: - Voodoo Chile (Stevie's Version) - Foxy Lady (...

How to weight HO scale rolling stock, install metal wheels and set coupler heights
Просмотров 4,8 тыс.2 года назад
In this quick little video, I show you how I weight rolling stock (according to the NMRA standards) how I check coupler heights and install metal wheel sets. Sometimes when you buy used rolling stock, it's hard to tell if you have metal or plastic wheels, so at the end of the video, I show you a quick little test I use that will answer your question 100% of the time, and removes all guess work.

2004 Sportster First Start of season

March 30, 2015. This bike had been put away since October 1st, of 2014... I just took the cover off, cleaned it up and this was the first start after sitting for almost 6 months.
Nice video. Tried it about 4 times with no success.
For folks on a budget, guaranteed switch activation and no risk of derailment. First time viewer. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.
Do you think the wood will rotten in another year? The bleach has erosion power, doesnt it?
Hi, It has been years since I did this. And the wood still looks as good today as it did then. The only thing I can tell you, is it had no effect on the wood at all. Enjoy!
My first thought was “trash it and replace w/Peco!”. Great vid!
When you have over 100 pieces of rolling stock to change from talgo trucks to body mounted Kadee couplers and change plastic wheels to Walthers Proto 2000 metal wheel sets, it gets kinda expensive. Now I've got to go back and weigh each piece and add weights to bring them to NMRA weight standards. I know I've spent nearly $400.00 doing all this. Cheers from eastern TN
A super slow Chineez DC gear motor, and a two position DPDT w/ centre off, with a stiff wire actuator arm fixed to da shaff, under the Lay OOOT, will switch da switch Bak an Fort wit dis paper clip mod on CHEAPO Atlas ! priceless ! YEA ! Duh, it du says: "1947" ... TMI ?
I call my Lay Ooot a Layout.
Hard to find really informative TuBo How TUZ, This is one of them !
GREAT Idea ! An "Over Center" Spring. and EZPZ too ! TANKS ! I have used this concept for my "Drawers on Ceiling" patent pending, 2024.
Show us how you fixed the drill tooth issue ! TANKS !
So..ATLAS is a "cheap old Switch " ?
You meant fence?
Whats it look like when its dry ?
It pretty much looks the same as in the video. The color of the wood changes immediately, and the bleach dries in minutes. That's why you have to do it on a sunny day, when it's pretty hot.
😊 Great tip , Will Use In future , Cheers From NZ
Love it! What a great idea. I’ll certainly try this.
Could I not use the topical side switch throw added to the side as well?
will this work with a Switch Machine on the Switch? Would it overpower the Switch Machine? If it does work with a Switch Machine can this be done to an installed Switch?
I'm not sure. I have never tried it as all my switches are manual throw. Would be interesting to test that.
Awesome!!!❤❤❤❤🎉 Can't wait to catch a live show with Danny, Remi, Yves (not sure how he spells his name)...aka Tightrope 🎉
Danny, great video. Thank you. However, from your knowledge will a PECO switch work with other Atlas track?
As long as it's the same code, you should have no issues at all! Thanks for watching!
Is there a way to improve wheel movement thru the frog , Walthers crossover derailment sometimes at the frog , going to subscribe your channel hello from Dundas Ontario
Thank you. I haven't done much lately. But the plan is to move my layout to a different room in the house. So I will have a bunch more videos when that happens.
Really good playing 💯💯💯
Very nice, thank you for sharing.
with that link on the bottom you then can design a link to set up with a push button control panel
Nice video...do you get any derailments?
Awesome Danny. Thanks
Clever.
I have Atlas switches that are over twenty years old and have not had a problem with them. I have mine all powered. I am expanding my layout and will try this.
YUP, a great TUBO video !
Thank you for this information and d.i.y. guide. Do you think this would work in same manner for n-scale...probably have to tweak the tension of the clip I would presume? I am preparing to build my first ever model train layout (n-scale, approx. 5'x14'). Thank you for sharing your knowledge, advice and tips for this hobby. Liked/subscribed.
So are they all snap switching? Can you do the same for the remote atlas to get it to snap like yours, thanks, joe
The best fix I got for my Atlas switches was to change to PECO. PECO's are hardly ever an issue. Atlas's were always an issue. Thanks for the tip, regardless!
😂😂😂
Maybe you can go on some car repair videos and tell them how “the best fix “ is to just buy a Rolls Royce too. No I’m kidding. But yeah I acquired just a few PECO turnouts and they indeed are well constructed, what impressed me the most besides the spring loaded rails, are the points rails are filed very fine and thin at the tips for a really perfect profile.
@@Syclone0044 PECO's aren't that much more expensive, especially for the quality you get. It's just a much better made switch.
Will a PECO switch work with other Atlas track?
@@ericb.davenport9762 as long as they’re both code 100
did this to 2 atlas #4s that had no throwers, now its better
What is "to 2 atlas". ?
@@RichardKuivila1947 i fixed 2 atlas turnouts.
I hope this works on the three way turnout
i have marks on my foam cradle in inches. then look at the chart tapped to my work area. to know the weight and i use a USPS certified postal scale. no battery's to fail. i use mostly lead. 3/8 zink nuts, but one car i am using lots of old metal axle's with plastic wheel sets from the junk box. just looking to save the dump from holding on to them till the end of time. gluing a stack of them inside the box car (non moving doors). not sure how to do my articulated auto cars? as a bit on the very long side. as to using zink. it is less than 1/2 the weight as lead. is just as toxic. (nay sayers try eating zink). but free if you pick it up off the road. find any lead save it. or sell to a reloaded. as to the weight of the pricey (at least here in cal) self sticky wheel weights. allow for the weight of the sticky pad.
Do you know of any way to do this to atlas ho true track? The switch gets caught on my on30 locomotives.
Do you rinse it with water?
No. If you do it on a hot sunny day, it will evaporate within an hour and be gone completely. Leaving a beautifully clean board, ready for a wood sealer. Good luck!
Doesn't it smell icky?
Not at all. You're outside, in the fresh air. Just don't hold the dish right under your nose. Have fun!
Will this work on a remote power switch?
Works perfekt with Tillig Elite turnouts too. Thank you very much!
Well played, sir! Just want to make sure to file down those sharp cut edges of the pins, and be VERY CAREFUL of those little pieces of paperclip flying off when cutting. I might even suggest getting a heavier-duty pair of side-cutters (or use a Dremel) to cut the paperclip. I wouldn't want to mess up my nice Xuron rail cutters on steel. Thanks for sharing! Peco is NOT going to be happy if you cut into their sales with this tip! :D
I’ve ruined way too many Xuron side cutters thinking a tiny silver grab iron wire would be soft. NOPE. Chomped a nasty bite out of my cutting tips and failed to cut the grab iron to size! Wish Walthers had better QC so they don’t need to be trimmed to install in the first place but Walthers never seems to care about quality that much.
Je vois que tu n'as pas publier d'autres vidéos de train depuis un an... comment va ton layout ? J'ai bien aimé tes deux dernières vidéos ! Je me suis abonné au cas où tu en ferais d'autres ! I see you haven't posted any other train videos for a year... how's your layout? I really liked your last two videos! I subscribed in case you do more! Keep the good work !
Your homemade chart including a ruler, is a very good idea.
Nah. Just use one ounce per inch of car. Easier.
Great tip ! Thank you ! The use of a paperclip is lot faster than what I did 3 years ago with small rod hard to bend. Next time I will do it your way !
The slight work hardening from the bending helps, too...
Excellent!
Yes sir! You have way more notes on your guitar than I have on mine! I need to add more frets on mine I think! 😊😂
That's was awesome Danny! Forgot you used to play with her! Nice playing as always bud!
I don't understand why you start at 1 oz. If your boxcar is .25 oz. each 1/2 inch, your first increment should be .25 oz not 1.25 if you are lining it with the first line on the left, right?
You start every car at 1 oz as a base weight, then add 1/2 oz per inch (or 1/4 oz per half inch).
One ounce per inch. Simpler. You don't have to comply exactly with NMRA standards, the cars just shouldn't derail!
You didn't show how to set the coupler height, only that is was already correct. What if it wasn't?
You know what. You are 100% correct! I thought of that after I made the video, and I think you are the first person that pointed that out. My plan was to show how I adjust the height, but then forgot to show it on a different car. I have about 75 cars in my collection, and most of them are already done. If you look close when I lock the coupler to the height gauge, you can see that there is a substantial size washer between the truck and the body of the car itself. Most of the rolling stock I have use the small fiber washers from Kadee. The two I use are the red #208 and the gray #209. They are different sizes, but they work fantastic for fine tuning the height of the car to get it just right! I apologize for not getting that in the video. Maybe I will make another one to cover that. Thank you for watching!
Question: the paper clip is not tempered or hardened “spring” material. When bent it does not snap back as a true spring would do. So are you concerned that it will eventually stop being springy?
Those paperclips are pretty hard, and they don't want to change shape without some, what I call "Plyer persuasion" and all I can say is I have some switches here that I did, 25 years ago, and they still snap just as hard today, as they did when I first did them. So I am not concerned. Thanks for watching the video. Cheers!
I'm blown away at how tight and secure the switch is. I never saw that before. Great job. Did you come up with that idea?
This is terrific, but is what Peco does on their switches. Just much more economical. :)
.05 cents is pretty cheap!
