This Technics rig. Local dealer has an unadvertised package deal that includes the electronics for free. With the MSRP on the latter at 150% that of the speakers it was hard to say no.

I bought a pair of NEO-magnet series woofers from Dayton to replace the woofers in my current fronts. The current ones are paper cones and are worn out after 30+ years.

Glass or steel capsule? Mercury displacement relays are nice to have around for ugly switching applications. They're bounceless and quiet, which is more than one can say of your average power contactor ( CLACK!!!).

Dakaware and Davies 1/4" Bakelite knobs from a hardware store going out of business.

I bought this for the SD card player.

SubZero 70W 8" Active ABS Speaker by Gear4music - FAULTY - RRP £79.99 | eBay


When I opened it up, the speaker lead was not connected hence no output!!

So now I have an extra powered speaker for my disco use.

except it is actually a stereo/two channel amplifier.
You have to parallel the outputs to convert it to mono and to get double the output power you halve the load impedance.
It is actually a 30W+30W into 8+8ohms amplifer when fed from +26Vdc.
And the distortion performance is pretty terrible.

Went to local emporium Weird Stuff today. Packed up a medium-sized plastic nesting tote ($3). To fill the tote, an nice roll of PTFE wire, a medium-sized black anodized heat sink drilled for 6 x TO-3, several bags of 4-40 and 6-32 screws (hundreds and hundreds of screws), a largish bag of Beckman single-turn trimpots, and three 100 uA analog meters, All for about 50 bucks. A fair dinkum deal...

Well, I did not buy but got a few freebees in fairly good shape 😀

And one of these fine units.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

3 pounds of string-trimmer line, and a cheap ratchet-wrench set.

Hey, it's summer, the weeds are growing, can't hang inside.

I got tired of buying that stuff and installed stainless steel braided wire.
Frayed a bit after hours of usage in a commercial setting, but worked neat and saved a lot of time loading or fixing jammed dispenser heads on the machine.


Me buy today? Cheap piece of scandi art glass at the thrift shop. Nice little hand made lead crystal penguin for my mate. AU$1.25

An old Canon 450D for £70 for Body only.
