oh... yeah this is a long story. okay, so, there's a project out there named RaspbianDECnet that provides a relatively updated kernel module that I then proceeded to update to work on the latest generation of LTS kernels. back when I did it, it would panic the kernel pretty frequently, but I made a few changes to keep it from dying if it heard malformed router beacon packets. you should never encounter this for any reason. also, the "client programs" for CTERM client and server duty are both broken, I haven't gotten around to fixing them though. the updated dnprogs package from the RaspbianDECnet package is a must. other than that, only Ethernet interfaces are supported for DECnet communication, tap devices can be if they're up when the module loads (but no chance for PPP).

yep, this tutorial on its own is NOT sufficient; that's why you'd want to use StereoTool or an Optimod (to any viewers reading this, StereoTool is free and does all of this stuff in real-time)

Heh, I'm actually not racingmars -- that's the Mainframes And More channel! I do plan on that... I'm going to make a sequel to this video at some point, perhaps in a few weeks.

Hey, sorry for taking 2 weeks to come back to you on this. If you're still after this, do this: 1. generate a 1khz tone, at 50% amplitude 2. generate a 19khz tone, at 15% amplitude 3. generate a 39khz tone, at 7.5% amplitude 4. generate a 37khz tone, at 7.5% amplitude feed this into the "composite" input on the stereo decoder, and it should be good.

@@hs-tc Thank you i will test it. No problem for taking your the time.

yup, that was the inspiration! I wanted to reverse it, where The Hacker was breaking into some Soviet system, but, Cliff Stoll was on my mind... haha!

Er what?

how do i explain this​@@Canadian_goose26

don't pass it up! I used to use one as a 2 meter simplex base station for fun... ended up "retiring" it where it now sits under my bed, lol. retuning them is a bit... hectic, but, if you can SMD solder, it isn't too bad!

You definitely wouldn't want to use this old terrible equipment; check B&H as they have basically everything: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Professional-Audio/ci/12154

I've been planning for a while now to do basically a total overhaul of my VM and VSE tutorials, covering basically a "zero to hero" procedure from first IPL (maybe even installation) to totally tailored system. that will include a few occasional flowcharts thrown up on screen, kinda like a "you are here, here is the journey that is left" map of sorts (with occasional checklists). i've got a bunch of old TV equipment... I might try to do it as a 1:1 recreation of an old training laserdisc/tape!

haha, I did an even worse project... I abused a ham radio program called "tncattach" to tunnel a tap device (works at layer 2, so, it passes ethernet frames raw) over a TCP socket... not as good as a custom layer 4 protocol like EOIP but it worked! albeit super slowly! (TCP encapsulated in TCP is a nightmare)

I eventually did a few months ago, it was a bad cap in the preamp circuit on the right channel

Sorry late nineties

the answer is clear -- DECnet for all network deployments haha!

I really need to rig up a demonstration of it... alongside Banyan's VINES protocol and VINES/IP (after all, Ethernet is a boring layer-2 protocol haha!)

Good question, female, but, I use a voice changer in my screen-recording-type vintage computer tutorials to attempt to replicate a "news announcer voice" through the power of signal processing, spectral band replication, and EQ controls. I am like 99% sure that it is a QRK model 12 turntable -- I think a few companies "rebadged" them since I've swapped parts between a Russco, Gates, and Sparta in order to build the one shown here. This tonearm formerly had a Shure SC-35C, and, another one had a same-vintage Stanton (they made some GREAT products). Lifting up the platter (and, making sure the oil bearing thing is good), it bears that marking you mentioned, too. I exclusively use Shure and Stanton pickups to this day for serious DJ work, on account of the conical stylus design (seems to last a LOT longer than other stylus manufacturing methodologies for heavy wear-out use). I too was under the impression that the cued outputs would dump through the headphones, but, the console appears to be modified slightly -- the output into the headphones is the program output, and is force-mixed with the cue output. When this console is used "in the real world" to prepare live-broadcast hardcore-techno/rave music shows, the cue output works wonders for beatmatching the speed of records (on much more sophisticated turntables that use DC-type motors). Awesome comment, thanks for dropping by!

@@hs-tc Love-it, love-it, love-it! Anything about broadcast radio and DJ-ing. A common Shure cartridge for commercial usage was the M44. The Shure SC-35C is really alot newer than your turntable. The guy I got my QRK from had installed a Stanton audiophile-type 581 or 681. I was going to use it in the quadraphonic system I was putting together but it had too much rumble. I ended up using my Audio Technica AT-LP 120-USB. That's the older good one and not the cheapened one they sell today. Technics came in with their direct-drive SL's and took over the professional turntable market. The traditional professional radio station turntable market faded away. Russco maybe lasted the longest. It was a little too late, but they came out with Mark V audiophile turntable. It was as good as the Garrard 301 and 401. In the early-80's the Mark V's base price was $650. before tone arm and optional equipment. The Technics SL's were still under $200. and could blow the Russco Mark V away. Oh, yeh, voice manipulating. Even back in the 70's we could play with the voice. Today, it's limitless what you can do to a voice. I'm gonna have to look at your other videos. Thank you!

@@automatedelectronics6062 yeah, the SC35C was thrown in, from what I can tell, in the late 80s. the M44 is great, but, finding a stylus for it in the modern age seems to be hit-or-miss (I mainly use my SC35Cs since I was able to score about 7 replacement styli in a box of parts, so, that should keep me going for a few decades). honestly, my favorite turntables tend to be the SL1200 Technics clones -- the original AT-LP120 (not that crappy new version) is actually pretty dang rock-solid, but, the motor is too weak to run a recording head on. while they might blow away the Russcos and QRKs, they are also much more complex; the BLDC drive controller does instill a little bit of noise, but, the integrated tonearm (and, more accurately, integrated into the design) goes quite a long way in ensuring that the cartridge actually stays at a 90 degree tangential vector to the radius of the record. I was able to get it relatively close by machining a new cartridge mount bracket within the headshell on this tonearm, and, it's much more modifiable than other broadcast tonearms that I've got (and don't use 'cuz they kinda suck). voice manipulation is a TON of fun, and, having put on a lot of random DJ sets over the years with a good friend of mine, we love doing all sorts of goofy voice synthesizer effects.

@@hs-tc The Shure M44 cart was used in alot of jukeboxes from maybe the late-60's-on. They were conical styli as are most jukes. The jukebox operators stocked them up and you might find replacements at operators who ran Rock-olas. A common Stanton cartridge was, I believe, the 400? This is also the same as the Pickering NP/AC. Replacement styli are fairly easy to locate. The Pickering NP/AC has a high output, so if you as DJ-ing and using 2 turntables, make sure each has the NP/AC if that is the cartridge you are using. Yep the Shure SC-35C was a common modern DJ-ing cartridge. Genuine replacement styli are still around. Back in my DJ-ing days, we would change the equalization to then telephone sounding quality. Had sound effects, like a helicopter, and you could fake a traffic report supposedly coming from the air. When I got my QRK turntable, it had a divot in the idler. Especially at 33 1/3 rpm, you could hear it. Just by chance, I looked up the former owner of Russco Electronics, Russ Friend, several years before he passed. He invited me over to his house and he tuned-up my QRK. Because Russco used the identical idler, he replaced mine. He had an extra idler, so I bought it from him. As you probably know, those old radio station turntables didn't have anti-skate features. Consequently, the first Audio Technica AT-PL120's had it disabled. I've never had an anti-skate problem with my QRK, but I sure did with my first AT. My 2nd one the AT-LP12--USB works great. I do alot of digitizing records to hard drive as wav files and was looking for an upgrade. My AT-PL120 developed a buzz, so I wired around the built-in pre-amp and that fixed the problem. The mixer I use has a built-in pre-amp, so no problem. I called Audio Technica and spoke to their techs. They recommended their AT-LP1240-USB. That was kind of a mistake. If someone turned a light switch on or off it created a pop, which when I was recording, ruined that recording. Because I have 1,000's of 7" 45's, I had been looking for a drop-changer. First looking for a Garrard, what I wanted often didn't have the big-hole 7" adapter and/or they wanted too much money. I found a Technics made fully automatic drop-changer and it had all 3 spindles. I paid through the nose but I bought it and am very happy with it. I can put a stack of 6 45's or LP's on it and walk away. On top of that, my hands are shaky at times and it's difficult for me to use a manual tone arm. Being an early direct-drive, it is not as powerful as the current ones. It's not good for a cue-start. You'd have to back the record up atleast half a turn. It's not quick like the QRK or my AT's. DJ-ing is a past life for me. lol

@@automatedelectronics6062 I actually searched around and found a few folks selling replacement M44 styli that may not be the most legit thing in the world, but, enough to scrape by on. I really do like that cartridge, and, I'm glad that folks are keeping it alive. I do have two Stanton 500s if that's what you might be thinking of. it's pretty good, but, I've ran into issues where it seemed to be particularly sensitive to the hum of the motor... the shures had no such issue. that's a pretty clever sound effect trick; I've got tons of sound effect records, but, I gotta give 'em a good wash before I pull something off like that. all of my QRK-clones had duvets in the idler wheels as well -- I was able to fix them by thermally expanding the pencil eraser material at that point and I think I used a pair of pliers to "pull" it back into place? I did that back in 2016 when I was in middle school... my QRK-clones were all in 78RPM mode for a few decades in the south-US heat, but, being in 78RPM meant that the damage wasn't as bad as it would be in 33RPM (because the shaft was narrower at that speed). honestly, meeting someone like Mr. Russco is dang impressive -- I keep forgetting that interesting products are actually made by real people that exist in the world, out there, and they can be talked to! I haven't had skating issues on any of my turntables besides my AT-LP120s, surprisingly... the hack I currently use is a "variable viscosity anti-skating fluid" where I replaced the crappy ball-bearing rotating joints in those Shure tonearms with an oil bearing I was able to DIY and fit in there -- the thicker the oil, the more anti-skating action there is. I actually kinda had the reverse issue -- the tonearm wouldn't move, and, it's because that bearing had died on me (the inside of the shaft was far too rusty to call "good"). I've heard that the AT-LP1240 has less sophisticated electrical isolation, since the tonearm went from proper metal to some kind of crappy plastic. how's that Technics drop changer? I've been looking for a good one for years, specifically one for a very interesting idea I've had for a few years... totally automatic mechanical DJ: two drop changers, and, through the usage of optical sensors (the unrecorded region of a record is a lot more reflective to a red laser beam than the recorded/grooved region), and using that to trip a 5-second mechanical timer that then clicks in some motors to fade out that song, while fading in the next song as the motor on the other changer starts and the song begins. the changer would then hit the end of the record, drop the next record, throw down the tonearm, spin it a bit to get it in the groove, then wait for the next trigger. I've thought about de-crapifying some old BSR changers (my mortal nemesis) or just designing and 3D printing/machining a drop changer attachment of sorts for something like a QRK or Technics broadcast turntable... I've already designed a few cutting heads for those turntables with mixed success.

green and blue is great!

I need to make a video on the other technologies at play -- tape systems (cart machines and reel-to-reels) on full display!

Jones connector, that's it! thanks for enlightening me! honestly, when I look inside that (and also a mono Gates mixer that I've got, from 1959), I'm just blown away. all of that, in the modern age, could have been made into a PCB... with a LOT less neat-looking at the beautiful hand-wired construction in this thing. when I was like 14, I was able to partially reverse-engineer the pinout enough to figure out how to test the thing, and also enough to realize that the program output was busted. quick replacement of a wire that became severed opening it up, and, I was off to the races! I'm kinda surprised that it doesn't use cable lacing inside, but, it's entirely possible that the previous owner of this de-laced all of the cables in favor of ziptied bundles. I've got a few reel-to-reels actually under my desk... I would've moved them up and demonstrate them, but, my desk was overrun with the stuff as-is... I really need to go get the actual "DJ desk" from the old dilapidated radio studio I got all of this stuff from (it had 45-degree holders for various Ampex and Teac reel-to-reels, as well as cutouts in the desk for turntables).

I think in the modern age, this Sparta equipment doesn't hold up to the rigors of a LPFM college radio station either haha! I had no idea WNEW was rocking this equipment, but, I searched up some old pics of the studio, and, ran across a "historical profile" -- looks like they were also using Ampex 300s well into the 70s (makes sense, those machines were rock-solid). great to hear the names of the greats of the past too, thanks for chiming in!

Sparta was considered 'low end' at the time, but you'd see their quite functional and innovative equipment in markets of all sizes. I certainly saw them everywhere in the 70's. This AS-30 console uses germanium transistors, but later ones (after about 1966) used half-sized program amplifiers that had cleaner sounding silicon transistors. Their turntables seem to have been re-badged QRKs, and the M232 tone arm was made by Shure. I still have several of their Century Series cart machines, which work very well. Good video!

@@pixoariz strangely enough, I came across a Shure M232 manual in my box of radio equipment manuals yesterday! wish I had the original wiring, but, it was taken out long before I came around to breathe life into that QRK turntable. their newer Century cart machines are pretty good, but, mine is in dire need of a serious repair job... nearly all of the caps have died in it. I'll get it going and video it too!

yep, it's a VAXstation 3100. slow as mud but works!

@@hs-tc today any VAX slow or fast is a treasure, I had a 4000/60 at work for network node manager as an historic artifact until 2005, when I left the company someone trashed it.

@@boardernut A super fast fake-VAX is also a treasure in its own right; I have an emulated copy of my 3100 that I run 24x7 (as to avoid hardware wearouts), but, seeing an actual period-accurate VAX's performance is truly something else. the 4000s are great machines even today in terms of great computers of a bygone era.
