Post Script -
On second thoughts memory clear, reset and mode (mood ?) select buttons might be usefull.
Re Demag thread - my boys have now settled in and are going to the local school with their two girl cousins and are loving it.
I have instructed them to get into playing soccer and collecting Nordic girlfriends but they say that they are more interested in the cartoons on satelite tv - I'll remind them of that in the future !.
They also say that it is very cold and iceicles are forming outside.
Anna says they are asking every day "When is it going to snow mum ?".
Oh, to be young like them again when the whole world was new.
Eric.

I smiled.
Eric,
You just made me feel ten years younger.
Lovely!
Don't know how important this is to you but Steve Eddy was absolutely right.
AC signals remove remanence.
I hit an ineresting site when looking for something else and lost it in the latest DIY troubles.
I'll do some Skandinavian headbanging,
Eric,

Glad To Make Your Day....
Yeah but the AC needs go high enough amplitude to saturate the core and then taper in amplitude down to zero doesn't it ?.
This amplitude is unlikely with audio signals, and besides it is remnance due to a single polarity spikes caused by the likes of phantom power that I am concerned about.

Eric.
YES ,BUT....
Eric,
Yes,what was suggested as a sollution at that site was to use a variable AC current through these xformers.
By doing this this it got rid of any remanence.
Reminds me of the current limiter I designed for Siemens-Atea to rid spools from remanance.And test them for consistency in the process.
All that with a tube rectifier,simple but did the job.
I don't really know what you're trying to tackle here but it should do the trick?
Rgds,

All,
imagine, late 50ies, backyard shack with basement inventor in it.
One day, a man happens to find the inventor, he has heard rumours about a revolutionary washing robot. So he asks the inventor about it. Of course, the engineer is eager to demo his new laundry washing automaton. "Very simple use" he explains, "you simply put, say your dirty socks in, dial the temperature in, put the washpowder in, close the door, switch on and -wishwashwishwash- the socks are clean." "Hmmh" says the visitor, "and how about bed sheets?" .. "oh, just the same, you put your dirty bed sheets in, dial the temperature in, put the washpowder in, close the door, switch on and -wishwashwishwash- the bed sheet are clean. .... And, say if you have shiddy underwear --- " "Ah, i know", interrupts the visitor, " I put my dirty underwear in, dial the temperature in, put the washpowder in, switch on and -wishwashwishwash- the underwear is clean." "Wrong", the engineer says angry and HH style, "can't you listen?! You are wet and you have da shidd in da face, ya have forgotten to close da door."

Three engineers were checking an anatomy book when they suddenly find the picture of a naked human body. They start discussing, and the first one suddenly says "Well, this is clearly the work of an electric engineer".
"How came?", the rest asks.
"Well, just see the nervious system. The brain, the spinal cord, the muscle/senses/brain coordination. This is truly a remarkable electrical design".
"No no, this is most surely the work of a mechanical engineer.", jumps the second one.
"What makes you think that?"
"Check the kinetics of the human body for a second. The way the muscles and bones go togheter, the balance... it's quite amazing"
The third one takes a brief look at the pelvis and states "You're both wrong. This is the work of a civil engineer"
"What? Why do you say that?", replies the other two, surprised.
"Who the hell else would run a toxic waste system right through the middle of a recreational area?!"

Subject: Technical Support - Problem
Take heart, anyone among you who believes you are technologically
challenged, you "ain't seen nuthin'" yet!!
1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to
"Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any"
key is.
2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was
hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be
the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.
3. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer
to fax anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician
discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper- by holding it in
front of the monitor screen -and hitting the "Send" key.
4. Yet another, Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no
longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and
water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys and
washing them individually.
5. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged
because his computer had told him he was "Bad and an invalid." The tech
explained that the computer's "bad command" and "invalid" responses
shouldn't be taken personally.
6. A confused caller to IBM was having trouble printing documents.
He told the technician that the computer had said it "couldn't find
printer." The user had also tried turning the computer screen to face
the printer-but that his computer still couldn't "see" the printer.
7. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't get
her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was
plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the
power button.
Her response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing
happens."
The "foot pedal "turned out to be the computer's mouse.
8. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand new
computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in
and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When
asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked, "What
power switch?"
9. Another IBM customer had trouble installing software and rang for
support. "I put in the first disk, and that was OK. It said to put
in the second disk, and had some problems with the disk. When it said
to put in he third disk, I couldn't even fit it in..." The user hadn't
realized that "Insert Disk 2" implied to- remove Disk 1 first.
10. A story from a Novell NetWare SysOp: CALLER: "Hello, is this Tech
Support?" TECH: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?" CALLER: "The cup
holder on my PC is broken -and I am within my warranty period. How do
I go about getting that fixed?" TECH: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup
holder?"
CALLER: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."
TECH: "Please excuse me. If I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am.
Did you receive this as part of a promotional at a trade show? How
did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?"
CALLER: "It came with my computer. I don't know anything about a
promotional. It just has '4X' on it." At this point, the Tech Rep had
to mute the caller because he couldn't stand it. He was laughing too
hard.
The caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup
holder and snapped it off the drive.
11. A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her
printer.
The tech asked her if she was "running it under windows." The woman
responded, "No, my desk is next to the door. But that is a good
point.
The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window and his
printer is working fine."
12. And last but not least TECH SUPPORT: "O.K. Bob, let's press
the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task
list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter "P" to bring up
the Program Manager."
CUSTOMER: "I don't have a 'P'".
TECH SUPPORT: "On your keyboard, Bob."
CUSTOMER: "What do you mean?"
TECH SUPPORT: " 'P' on your keyboard, Bob."
CUSTOMER: "I ain't gonna do that!"
