[NJARC] NJARC Digest, Vol 73, Issue 22

Thu May 27 10:38:13 EDT 2010

I spoke with Scotty yesterday and he informs me that this is not a tube that 
he can restore. He did agree that this tube is very difficult to test unless 
you have an individual pin rejuvenator tester which I do not. He asked me to 
look at the filament which I had not done (ha) and said that it is a good 
thing if it lights up which it did ...ah progress. Now I realized that the 
three filter caps on top of the chassis had never been changed and realize 
that this may be the problem. I realize that I must change these before 
dropping the cash to buy a new tube. the canister has the usual symbols of 
triangle square and semi-circle but I can't for the life of me find them on 
or near the terminals. I have only changed out one other multi filter 
canister and I am not that comfortable with doing this so maybe a good 
candidate for the next clinic. I see that I just missed one.

>>>From WikiPedia:
>> ?
>> The Wasteland Speech was a speech given by Federal Communications
>> Commission (FCC) chairman Newton N. Minow to the convention of the
>> National Association of Broadcasters on May 9, 1961. The speech was
>> Minow's first major speech after he was appointed chairman of the FCC by
>> President John F Kennedy. In the speech, Minow referred to television
>> programming as a "vast wasteland" and advocated for programming in the
>> public interest.
>> "When television is good, nothing ? not the theater, not the magazines or
>> newspapers ? nothing is better.
>> But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit
>> down in front of your own television set when your station goes on the

>> newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract
>> you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can
>> assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.
>> You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally
>> unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism,
>> murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more
>> violence, and cartoons. And endlessly commercials ? many screaming,
>> cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few
>> things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think

> Television Host Art Linkletter Dead At 97
>
> LOS ANGELES (AFP)--Genial television host Art Linkletter, known for shows 
> such as "House Party" and "People Are Funny," died Wednesday at his home 
> in Los Angeles, his family said. He was 97.
> Known for his interviews with celebrities and children, the Canadian-born 
> broadcaster became a household name with "House Party," which began on 
> radio in 1944 before running 17 years on CBS television starting in 1952.
> His NBC show "People Are Funny" ran 19 years, making him one of 
> television's most enduring personalities.
> His interviews with children were collected for a book titled "Kids Say 
> the Darndest Things," which led to a television series of the same name.
> Born Arthur Gordon Kelly in Saskatchewan, Canada, he was adopted by a 
> preacher and his wife, who later settled in San Diego.
> He is survived by his wife of 75 years, Lois, and daughters Dawn and 
> Sharon.
> Linkletter's life was marked by family tragedy. In 1969, Linkletter's 
> daughter Diane leapt to her death from her Hollywood apartment.
> Linkletter later blamed the hallucinogenic drug LSD for the death - even 
> though no traces of the drug were found in her body - and became a vocal 
> campaigner against it.
> Linkletter's son Robert died in a car accident in 1980 and his son Jack 
> died at age 70 in 2007.
