Bill, I seem to remember that rubber fuel-line hose can replace those rubber grommets in some of those AKs such as the Model 55 and 60. The hose is available at all auto-parts stores. It's the size that used to come with those universal in-line fuel filters.

 I took on a repair of an AK Type L chassis TRF with both electrical and mechanical problems. 
 
 The electrical problem is hum, which I did not delve into yet. 
 
 The mechanical problem is a slipping tuning indicator.? The variable cap shaft has a gear attached with teeth on about one half of its circumference.? The teeth of the gear? (on this radio) mesh with tape on the tuning shaft.? Obviously not good engineering as the tape is all chewed up (no pun intended).? I haven't taken the tape off yet, as I just received the set today.? There may be matching teeth on the shaft.? Anyone have experience with this problem? Thanks

That design was used in many AK's; ?they probably didn't think about degrading rubber 80 years in the future. ?As I recall I was able to get away with using clear vinyl tubing but rubber is preferred.

Thanks to all who replied.

Sounds like rubber fuel line may be the way to go.  Now for a quick 
assessment of the electrical issues before I proceed.

Looking for data on the AK L2 chassis.  Found both  the Rider's and 
Beitman's on line, but the quality is poor.  Apparently Rider added 
component values to their schematic, but they're fuzzy.

The Rider is volume 1, pages 93 & 94; the Beitman is page 16 in the 
1926-1938 volume.

I'll be at this Friday's meeting if anyone can help.  Thanks

It would be nice if you posted a list of PAID-UP vendors.  The last swap
was so sparse it hardly was worth the price of admission.

I don't have any schematics for that particulas AK but none of the caps are critical except for those involved in the RF tuning stages. ?For any cap that is not connected directly to a tuning tank (RF/IF), you will do fine with RF/IF stages, a .001 to .010 and not critical. ?In the audio stages you will be generally safe with .05 to .10 uuf. ?I usually melt out any of the cap "cans" and simply refill them with modern caps and new color coded wires. A soldered common ground inside these cans helps tremendously. ?Of course there will be a possible avalanche of criticism here but I've never been defeated by any of these old circuits, especially AK's.
These AK's were built with very un-critical values. ?For filter caps, go ahead and use your bin stock of 10uuF- ?these are far better than anything in the original design. ?
The AK resistors are a nightmare to decipher. ?You will be be best off using common sense values; ?if you have any particular value question, ?I'll try to figure it out and in the meantime get a schematic. ?They are very simple radios.

Subject: [NJARC] Transformer Rewinding Service
Message-ID: <ee4b5.3bda521e.4229be40@aol.com>

I came across this company via the Heathkit Yahoo Group.  As you might  
expect, it isn't cheap to get a transformer rewound, but then if you want it  
done right....
Best of all, it's a Maine company.  They are located just north of  Bangor 
and slightly west of Old Town.

? ? ?That's Gary Brown. I've used him and he does excellent work. He rewound a Comet Pro power transformer for me and it works like a charm. The nice thing is that he rewound it for a 120V primary (instead of 110V) so I don't have to use a Variac or a bucking xformer.
? ? ?Gary is also a good source for tubes and boatanchor parts. He's a nice guy, too.

Thanks to all of the help from club members, it looks like I've been 
able to cull together all of the info necessary to start repairing my AK 
L2 chassis.

It's amazing how much help and resources are available from our

Vintage Electronics Enthusiasts:
For those of you who were at the meeting last night, you may recall I made an announcement that the NJARC Capacitor program is going to organize a special order of capacitors that we don't normally carry.  Many of you have mentioned to me in passing during meetings that you are working on a set (whether it be a radio, television, piece of test equipment, etc.) that needed a cap value that the club did not have.  As most of you know many electronics supply houses have minimum order and shipping costs that may make buying those "one or two" caps you need to finish your set somewhat cost prohibitive.  It is my intention to ask you all "what you need" to see if we can get a larger order together to help members save some money and get their sets up and running again!  This request is limited to electronic parts (not trim\cosmetic pieces like knobs... contrary to what was said last night, we don't have a knob program today!).
Right now the most interest seems to be centered on HV television capacitors, especially for the Pilot TV-37 television.  Others have mentioned they are working on Hallicrafters televisions.  I know there is also interest in restoring Philco Predictas (that have common failure parts like fusistors and "network" parts, but my knowledge is limited on which parts are common failure parts). 
Here is what we have been asked to order so far:
Electrolytics:
22mfd @ 600v47mfd @ 600v
Film\Poly:
.005[.0047] mfd @ 6000v  (2x for Pilot TV).005[.0047] mfd @ 3000v (2x for Pilot TV).001 mfd@ 4000v  (1x for Pilot TV).002[.0022]mfd @ 1000v (2x for Pilot TV).03 [.033]mfd @ 6000v (for Halicrafters TV).0015 mfd @ 1000v (1x in Philco Predicta Holiday).

Ceramic\Mica:300 pf @ 3000V (2x for Pilot TV)
If you have a cap you need that is not listed above, please reply to me with the value and I will see if we can add it to the order.  The list is currently focused primarily on Electrolytic and Paper replacment caps, but I would be glad to include more Mica\Cermamic values if you have specific needs.
I am asking those of you that have electronics knowledge that surpasses mine (which should be most of you!) please assist me with looking for opportunities to combine values that we receive for this special order to maximize practicality/cost.  As an example, in the list above we will likely decide to only order .005 at 6000v to cover both the 6KV and 3KV requirement for the pilot TVs (and perhaps some of the other values if the tolerances allow).  The more we buy of one specific value, the cheaper the costs could be.  
I especially need your help for identifying values of caps that "don't normally fail" like ceramics and micas that you need\we should consider stocking.  
As a reminder,  not only do we stock most standard-value electrolytic values up to 450V and poly caps up to 630V,we have a large variety of new "low volt" capacitors in stock, for those of you working on transistor-based stuff:

Package TypeCapacityWorking VoltagePriceRadial1 uF50V$0.10Radial4.7 uF50V$0.10Radial10 uF50V$0.10Radial22 uF50V$0.10Radial47 uF50V$0.15Radial68 uF50V$0.10Radial100 uF63V$0.10Radial220 uF50V$0.20Radial330 uF50V$0.25Radial470 uF50V$0.25Radial680 uF63V$0.50Radial1000 uF50V$0.50Radial2200 uF50V$1.00Radial4700 uF50V$1.75

The majority of the caps are rated at 50V, and are Nichicon branded caps.  Any of the caps valued at 1 uF to 100uF should be small enough to fit in transistor radios (modern caps are usually smaller than caps from the past), and the larger ones are useful for other projects where caps rated 50V or lower are required.
As previously mentioned, If you are a member who is unable to attend NJARC meetings regularly, and are in need of specific values, I am willing to ship orders out to you assuming you cover the cost of packaging\postage.
My goal is to take requests for the next 1-2 weeks via the reflector\email\phone from you all, come up with a reasonable order that accomodates as many requests as possible, and have the caps ready by the next meeting (if possible with ordering\lead times).
Let's see what we can come up with to help each other get some more sets back on the air!
Best Regards,
Matt Reynolds

Matt -

I have an RCA 721TS sitting on the bench for awhile now awaiting several 
capacitors. These are rated at 1000v. Can you order some of the common ones 
like .035 and .1  rated at this voltage? I?m sure several of the other very 
collectable sets such as the 621TS, 6030TS etc from RCA use these also and 
are probably in demand by people in the club working on TVs.

Thanks

Ken

Dave thanks for the article and the website. Never knew about 
thevinylfactory.com. Amazing stuff!

I saw Jack White at MSG a few weeks ago. The guy is a living legend!!

Subject: [NJARC] Clarion Call: Capacitor Program Special Order!
Message-ID: <BLU175-W48439A4F80179FACF89DD0B51D0 at phx.gbl>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Vintage Electronics Enthusiasts:
For those of you who were at the meeting last night, you may recall I made 
an announcement that the NJARC Capacitor program is going to organize a 
special order of capacitors that we don't normally carry.  Many of you have 
mentioned to me in passing during meetings that you are working on a set 
(whether it be a radio, television, piece of test equipment, etc.) that 
needed a cap value that the club did not have.  As most of you know many 
electronics supply houses have minimum order and shipping costs that may 
make buying those "one or two" caps you need to finish your set somewhat 
cost prohibitive.  It is my intention to ask you all "what you need" to see 
if we can get a larger order together to help members save some money and 
get their sets up and running again!  This request is limited to electronic 
parts (not trim\cosmetic pieces like knobs... contrary to what was said last 
night, we don't have a knob program today!).
Right now the most interest seems to be centered on HV television 
capacitors, especially for the Pilot TV-37 television.  Others have 
mentioned they are working on Hallicrafters televisions.  I know there is 
also interest in restoring Philco Predictas (that have common failure parts 
like fusistors and "network" parts, but my knowledge is limited on which 
parts are common failure parts).
Here is what we have been asked to order so far:
Electrolytics:
22mfd @ 600v47mfd @ 600v
Film\Poly:
.005[.0047] mfd @ 6000v  (2x for Pilot TV).005[.0047] mfd @ 3000v (2x for 
Pilot TV).001 mfd@ 4000v  (1x for Pilot TV).002[.0022]mfd @ 1000v (2x for 
Pilot TV).03 [.033]mfd @ 6000v (for Halicrafters TV).0015 mfd @ 1000v (1x in 
Philco Predicta Holiday).

Ceramic\Mica:300 pf @ 3000V (2x for Pilot TV)
If you have a cap you need that is not listed above, please reply to me with 
the value and I will see if we can add it to the order.  The list is 
currently focused primarily on Electrolytic and Paper replacment caps, but I 
would be glad to include more Mica\Cermamic values if you have specific 
needs.
I am asking those of you that have electronics knowledge that surpasses mine 
(which should be most of you!) please assist me with looking for 
opportunities to combine values that we receive for this special order to 
maximize practicality/cost.  As an example, in the list above we will likely 
decide to only order .005 at 6000v to cover both the 6KV and 3KV requirement 
for the pilot TVs (and perhaps some of the other values if the tolerances 
allow).  The more we buy of one specific value, the cheaper the costs could 
be.
I especially need your help for identifying values of caps that "don't 
normally fail" like ceramics and micas that you need\we should consider 
stocking.
As a reminder,  not only do we stock most standard-value electrolytic values 
up to 450V and poly caps up to 630V,we have a large variety of new "low 
volt" capacitors in stock, for those of you working on transistor-based 
stuff:

Package TypeCapacityWorking VoltagePriceRadial1 uF50V$0.10Radial4.7 
uF50V$0.10Radial10 uF50V$0.10Radial22 uF50V$0.10Radial47 uF50V$0.15Radial68 
uF50V$0.10Radial100 uF63V$0.10Radial220 uF50V$0.20Radial330 
uF50V$0.25Radial470 uF50V$0.25Radial680 uF63V$0.50Radial1000 
uF50V$0.50Radial2200 uF50V$1.00Radial4700 uF50V$1.75

The majority of the caps are rated at 50V, and are Nichicon branded caps. 
Any of the caps valued at 1 uF to 100uF should be small enough to fit in 
transistor radios (modern caps are usually smaller than caps from the past), 
and the larger ones are useful for other projects where caps rated 50V or 
lower are required.
As previously mentioned, If you are a member who is unable to attend NJARC 
meetings regularly, and are in need of specific values, I am willing to ship 
orders out to you assuming you cover the cost of packaging\postage.
My goal is to take requests for the next 1-2 weeks via the 
reflector\email\phone from you all, come up with a reasonable order that 
accomodates as many requests as possible, and have the caps ready by the 
next meeting (if possible with ordering\lead times).
Let's see what we can come up with to help each other get some more sets 
back on the air!

Matt Reynolds

Yes, those are glass transistors.  They have pilot lights inside so you 
can tell that they are working properly.

The key to that ad is that the seller did "research." Every time I hear a seller say that, I start walking away because it means his/her research yielded either a ridiculous "value" or an insane story. Recently, I saw an ad from a guy selling a VOM from the '30s or '40s with the cover story that the Argentine military had used it to repair radios in the Falkland war in the 1980s. Some of these ads are funnier than anything you can find in the Onion or on Saturday Night Live.

Hello Al,
            Yes, this guy did some real research. Those are Thermionic glass transistors that are not of the cold cathode variety. I would guess the 9V transistor radio battery would have fit somewhere in the compartment. It looks like all the transistors could be 1N01A's!

It looks like the loop antenna is missing which would be a good barganing point if one wanted to buy this thing from the seller. 

Regarding dating the thing, would you say it was made sometime between say 1968-1975? Maybe a little older.........

Regards,
            Joe Cro N3IBX

  Yes, those are glass transistors.  They have pilot lights inside so you can tell that they are working properly.

Hello Bill,       
             I know you knew your "stuff"! The shape of those 1N01A's give it away, don't they? Or could it be those shouldered raised bakelite four prong transistor sockets it uses? The fourth prong on the socket was used for a "trap" or cleanout for the transistors' drain, wasn't it? They used funny things way back in the 1970's for electronics, didn't they?

The "trap" or cleanout for the drain was used to rid the sockets of electron molecules gathered there during electron bombardment. They prevent the transistor from doing it job, kind of like a lo mu NPN or PNP. 

I'm forever in awe of your expert electronic knowledge and still want to be like you when I grow up!

Mod-U-later,
                 Joe Cro N3IBX

Bill,

You're just dreaming like an old dog chasing a car.  If you catch one, what are you going to do with it?

Hi Joe. 

Yes I would like to date something made between 1968 to 1975.

Gentlemen,

If you have the time period correct, they may be examples of the 
seldom-seen Nixon field-effect transistor.  Schematic symbol below:

Got to the sale about 2:40, they were picked clean.

There was an AK battery set with a price tag of $275, so I didn't look 
any further.  On the way out I said that I was interested and asked if 
he'd take $100 without the speaker (it did include a home brew power 
supply built on a piece of 1x12).  He agreed, but then when I went back 
and looked at it I saw that it had no tubes - six empty, lonely 
sockets.  I passed on it.

Bought a 6" Radio Shack replacement speaker for $5 - _with __whizzer__cone_!

The garage, see the original email, was totally barren, except for a 
John Deere riding mower, a piece of exercise equipment, and a shop vac 
with allot of miles on it.

He said that some "radio guys" from Long Island bought all the ham stuff 
earlier in the day.

2:40 OM?  I can only assume PM since you went away almost empty handed.  What happened to the guy I use to run into at Packrats, long before sunup, who would tell me that I was late and that he was on his second set of flashlight batteries?

Snicker, snicker,

There was a Collins 65S-1 receiver with a price tag of I think $1750, based
on Ebay sales is what I was told. I got there about 10:45 and got some cheap
2 meter stuff and a lot of misc. junk as well. Also, got some pole type
tower material, mostly military out of the garage. There was a box for some
Yaesu HF xcvr, but was told the radio sold earlier. Maybe that was part of
what the LI crew got. I did not think there was enough radio stuff in the
pictures to tempt people from LI to come down, but, I did run into a guy
from SI. Amazing how far some people will go for some of this junk. For me
it was about 20 miles or less. 73 - Mike

Help me!? ?I purchased a TV shops inventory of tubes, plus a sencore tube tester about 20 yrs ago in SF. ?I picked thru them for those I could use in my guitar amps (preamp tubes such as the 12AT7, U7 etc...) The tube tester sold me. ?Iforget what I paid, ?but it was cheap. ?I've been meaning to inventory them for all these years, but I can always find something?less tedious. ?For some reason, I HAD to bring the lot with me when I moved to NJ, ?after having gleaned the preamp?tubes, mind you, ?I ?am not a pack rat (much) but if some one would give em a home I'd love to see them go! ?I do notneed money, I need the space! ?If anybody is interested,?plse get in touch . ?I figure 20 years of tripping over them ismore than enough.. ?? ? ?Im in Dover, and if you'll pick em up , you can have them gratis-or whatever ..theres about 100 or so , filling a file box, and I supposeit is typical of a TV shop's stock back when.? ?

 Got to the sale about 2:40, they were picked clean.
 
 There was an AK battery set with a price tag of $275, so I didn't look any further.? On the way out I said that I was interested and asked if he'd take $100 without the speaker (it did include a home brew power supply built on a piece of 1x12).? He agreed, but then when I went back and looked at it I saw that it had no tubes - six empty, lonely sockets.? I passed on it.
 
 Bought a 6" Radio Shack replacement speaker for $5 - with whizzer cone!
 
 The garage, see the original email, was totally barren, except for a John Deere riding mower, a piece of exercise equipment, and a shop vac with allot of miles on it.
 
 He said that some "radio guys" from Long Island bought all the ham stuff earlier in the day.

Picked this up off the MARCH list. Not sure if this more horrifying or
laughable.  I think the person who suggested it was a hoax probably hit the
nail on the head.  There are telltale inaccuracies in some of the radio/TV
descriptions that indicate the guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
As they say on the Internet: WTF???

So basically, this d-bag wants to destroy rare and collectible items to
display them in his own artsy fartsy way? It's a good thing it didn't get
funded.

This isn't a hoax; it's someone trying to recycle the damaged or
extremely common parts of mass-produced items.  Where you guys would
throw out burnt-out resistors etc., in combining components to make
one restored artifact, he's putting them in glass bottles that have
nothing to do with museum preservation or storage.  See his FAQ on
harming technology.  The only wishful thinking here is that sufficient
people would pay for a display of screws and cables from the cases of
the historic electronic technologies.  There isn't a lot of
craftsmanship in any production-line product, much less a screw.

Folks,

Upon seeing my scan of the 1921 RCA Apparatus Catalog, club member Peter 
Olin offered to do a further clean-up of the original TIFF's. Pete has 
worked his magic on the files, and the results are really impressive. 
The .pdf now prints out into a nearly-perfect copy of the original 
catalog. This document is also OCR'ed (optical character recognition) so 
it can be searched, and text selected and copied for quotations.

Pick up a copy here: http://www.skywaves.ar88.net/Docs/default.html

There's also an interesting 1929 document from Radio Frequency Labs near 
Boonton.

Enjoy,
Al

Yes, thanks, nicely done!

Interesting to see that in figures 3 and 9 there was no need for high voltage rectifiers for use in the transmitter!  The other item of interest is that RCA was then known as the Radio Corporation and this catalog predates the RCA logo.  Note the overlapping R&C used as the early logo.

Garrison Keillor and the Prairie Home Companion radio show is scheduled 
to be at the Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove, NJ on August 1st.  Many of 
you listen to this radio program and here is a chance to see it live and 
maybe we could get a mention on it.  Ticket prices have not been 
announced yet but typically are in the area of $35.00 to $85.00.  Maybe 
we can get a block of seats if there is interest.  Please let me know if 
you are interested and I'll see if we can get some early planning.  As 
some of you know parking in Ocean Grove is horrendous so maybe we can 
get a bus and use parking at InfoAge.

Hi Jim,

I took a whack at the AWA 1929 CW contest a number of years ago. 
(211/VT-4C Hartley - low B+)  There was a guy on with a self-rectified 
rig.  The output was modulated CW with a 120 cycle note.  It really got 
your attention.

All:
 
Reminder, I would like to place an order late this week\early next week for the caps.  If you have not already contacted me via email with interest in buying Pilot TV caps (or other HV values), please let me know before Friday if possible.  If you approached me in person at a meeting\swap meet, but didn't email, please email me anyway if you can, I don't want to forget anyone.
 
I'm trying to get final numbers and final values fleshed out.  I will try and send that info out Thursday.
 
Thanks again!
 
Regards,
 
Matt

Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2015 14:08:13 -0500




Vintage Electronics Enthusiasts:
For those of you who were at the meeting last night, you may recall I made an announcement that the NJARC Capacitor program is going to organize a special order of capacitors that we don't normally carry.  Many of you have mentioned to me in passing during meetings that you are working on a set (whether it be a radio, television, piece of test equipment, etc.) that needed a cap value that the club did not have.  As most of you know many electronics supply houses have minimum order and shipping costs that may make buying those "one or two" caps you need to finish your set somewhat cost prohibitive.  It is my intention to ask you all "what you need" to see if we can get a larger order together to help members save some money and get their sets up and running again!  This request is limited to electronic parts (not trim\cosmetic pieces like knobs... contrary to what was said last night, we don't have a knob program today!).
Right now the most interest seems to be centered on HV television capacitors, especially for the Pilot TV-37 television.  Others have mentioned they are working on Hallicrafters televisions.  I know there is also interest in restoring Philco Predictas (that have common failure parts like fusistors and "network" parts, but my knowledge is limited on which parts are common failure parts). 
Here is what we have been asked to order so far:
Electrolytics:
22mfd @ 600v47mfd @ 600v
Film\Poly:
.005[.0047] mfd @ 6000v  (2x for Pilot TV).005[.0047] mfd @ 3000v (2x for Pilot TV).001 mfd@ 4000v  (1x for Pilot TV).002[.0022]mfd @ 1000v (2x for Pilot TV).03 [.033]mfd @ 6000v (for Halicrafters TV).0015 mfd @ 1000v (1x in Philco Predicta Holiday).

Ceramic\Mica:300 pf @ 3000V (2x for Pilot TV)
If you have a cap you need that is not listed above, please reply to me with the value and I will see if we can add it to the order.  The list is currently focused primarily on Electrolytic and Paper replacment caps, but I would be glad to include more Mica\Cermamic values if you have specific needs.
I am asking those of you that have electronics knowledge that surpasses mine (which should be most of you!) please assist me with looking for opportunities to combine values that we receive for this special order to maximize practicality/cost.  As an example, in the list above we will likely decide to only order .005 at 6000v to cover both the 6KV and 3KV requirement for the pilot TVs (and perhaps some of the other values if the tolerances allow).  The more we buy of one specific value, the cheaper the costs could be.  
I especially need your help for identifying values of caps that "don't normally fail" like ceramics and micas that you need\we should consider stocking.  
As a reminder,  not only do we stock most standard-value electrolytic values up to 450V and poly caps up to 630V,we have a large variety of new "low volt" capacitors in stock, for those of you working on transistor-based stuff:

Package TypeCapacityWorking VoltagePriceRadial1 uF50V$0.10Radial4.7 uF50V$0.10Radial10 uF50V$0.10Radial22 uF50V$0.10Radial47 uF50V$0.15Radial68 uF50V$0.10Radial100 uF63V$0.10Radial220 uF50V$0.20Radial330 uF50V$0.25Radial470 uF50V$0.25Radial680 uF63V$0.50Radial1000 uF50V$0.50Radial2200 uF50V$1.00Radial4700 uF50V$1.75

The majority of the caps are rated at 50V, and are Nichicon branded caps.  Any of the caps valued at 1 uF to 100uF should be small enough to fit in transistor radios (modern caps are usually smaller than caps from the past), and the larger ones are useful for other projects where caps rated 50V or lower are required.
As previously mentioned, If you are a member who is unable to attend NJARC meetings regularly, and are in need of specific values, I am willing to ship orders out to you assuming you cover the cost of packaging\postage.
My goal is to take requests for the next 1-2 weeks via the reflector\email\phone from you all, come up with a reasonable order that accomodates as many requests as possible, and have the caps ready by the next meeting (if possible with ordering\lead times).
Let's see what we can come up with to help each other get some more sets back on the air!
Best Regards,
Matt Reynolds

Hello Jim,

Unfortunately, it's my professional opinion that you are SOL.

These are thick film hybrids that we build especially for leader.

They disavow any knowledge of this older product on their website;

Maybe you'll luck into a parts set somewhere.

There's a lot of really cool, 20-year-old electronics out there that are 
a heartbeat away from being a wheel chocks.

Subject: [NJARC] More on Radio Shack
Message-ID: <CAMh_1mWonUquOyvCccWrw1TWNQBHXeQHLm3ZD-P3btihf6eOyg@mail.gmail.com>

I went to the local Radio Shack store today, the one by me that was not
closing.

The part I was looking to buy was out of stock.

I asked the guy there when it might be back in stock.  He said that none of
the stores would be receiving ANY deliveries of ANY parts in the
foreseeable future while they worked out the reorganization of the company.

Doesn't sound good.

The "other shoe" to drop was that for all the joking about Radio Shack
becoming nothing more than a glorified cell phone store, I have been
thinking about getting a new cell phone.  The carrier's web site had a
seemingly great sale, but the deal was "in store only" and this Radio Shack
was listed as one of their stores.  The poor guy there didn't even have a
cell phone in stock to try to sell me. I almost felt sorry for him.

But if anyone sees a 1.5 - 3.0 volt piezo buzzer in stock at their local
RS, please let me know.

Thanks,
-- Dave Sica

Dave, I never go to a Radio Shack store without first checking to make sure the part I want is in stock. Just go to their website and find what you want. Click on the item, click on "find in store," add your zip code and it will tell you which stores have it within a certain radius of your house. It saves wasted trips, for sure.
For you, Dave, if Parsippany doesn't have it, Randolph or Madison aren't too far from you.?

I would suggest actually calling the store over relying on their website's information.  They don't always know what they have it seems.
 
Funny anecdote from my RS raids:
 
When RS was closing in Raritan I wanted to buy an amplified OTA HDTV antnenna (one of ones that look like a frisbee).   They had a "current" model one, and an oldder model one on their showroom floor.  I tried to buy the old one, which had a better range, but they could not find it in their own inventory.  It had clearly been sitting there for several years, and was not a current stock product.  The store clerk tried looking it up online in there website, and in their internal system.   He actually ended up giving up, and refusing to sell it to me.
 
A store that was going out of business refused to sell me something they carried in stock.  They were selling the floor fixtures, drawers, shelves, etc. at some point, but couldn't sell me one of their own products!  For all  I know it's the only thing in the store today, the shelves are gone.  Or more likely someone else got a good deal on it (or it went back to their warehouse never to be seen again, right next to the Ark of the Covenant).
 
Regards,
 
Matt

Dave, I never go to a Radio Shack store without first checking to make sure the part I want is in stock. Just go to their website and find what you want. Click on the item, click on "find in store," add your zip code and it will tell you which stores have it within a certain radius of your house. It saves wasted trips, for sure.
For you, Dave, if Parsippany doesn't have it, Randolph or Madison aren't too far from you.

I asked the guy there when it might be back in stock.  He said that none of the stores would be receiving ANY deliveries of ANY parts in the foreseeable future while they worked out the reorganization of the company.
Doesn't sound good.
The "other shoe" to drop was that for all the joking about Radio Shack becoming nothing more than a glorified cell phone store, I have been thinking about getting a new cell phone.  The carrier's web site had a seemingly great sale, but the deal was "in store only" and this Radio Shack was listed as one of their stores.  The poor guy there didn't even have a cell phone in stock to try to sell me. I almost felt sorry for him.
But if anyone sees a 1.5 - 3.0 volt piezo buzzer in stock at their local RS, please let me know.
Thanks,-- Dave Sica

Google may not know who I am, but its computers probably know what
Amazon knows, so this morning I got an ad in my Gmail Promotions
category for https://www.verical.com/home, formerly Arrow Electronics,
claiming the world's largest inventory of parts.  I am only passing
this along as information.

I finally managed to get over to the George St, New Bruns location and 
most items are 95% off, very little left to pick through. But I got 
three shopping bags full of parts for under $25 including 100" solid 
phone cable, a slew of adaptaplugs for .70 cents each and a 25.2 volt 
2amp pwr xfmr for .72 cents! Asked if they had any 1.5 - 3.0 volt piezo 
buzzers, sorry Dave, nothing in stock.

The Easton Ave, Somerset store is suppose to be staying open. If I'm in 
that area I'll see if they have the buzzer as I need to stock up on 
small stuff like that stereo plugs, coaxial plugs, etc... before the 
only way to get them is online.

FYI for scanner buffs. The Pro 668 iScan is going for $100 at the NB 
store. Didn't see any shortwaves or other radios there.

Just an FYI on the New Bruns store. I went back to look for more battery 
holders, which they have a bunch of still, the PRO668 scanners were all 
gone! The Somerset store told me they were not closing so if you need 
some parts, that's one location to find them at the reg price.

They had a "current" model one, and an oldder model one on their showroom floor.  I tried to buy the old one, which had a better range, but they could not find it in their own inventory.  It had clearly been sitting there for several years, and was not a current stock product.  The store clerk tried looking it up online in there website, and in their internal system.   He actually ended up giving up, and refusing to sell it to me.

They were selling the floor fixtures, drawers, shelves, etc. at some point, but couldn't sell me one of their own products!  For all  I know it's the only thing in the store today, the shelves are gone.  Or more likely someone else got a good deal on it (or it went back to their warehouse never to be seen again, right next to the Ark of the Covenant).

Subject: [NJARC] another source of vintage parts
Message-ID: <55189BE4.2000902@optonline.net>

Finished repairing the Atwater Kent L2 chassis (see thread), but needed 
a new line cord.

Found a few places in the 'net, but this place had the best prices and 
delivery was in 3 days.  And I didn't have to order 500 feet of cord! 
http://www.snakeheadvintage.com/

As far as the AK, I used a piece of 3/8" power steering return hose from 
Advance Auto (they're popping up like mushrooms on a stump lately) on 
the tuning shaft.  The hose had a larger OD that gas line, perfectly 
matching the original AK part.

Found all the switches and volume pot noisy, used DeoxIT.  Found a few 
plates on the variable bent and shorting, straightened them out.  
Replaced the original line filter caps (never quite reached infinity on 
the ohm meter) with 2 Y2 caps from *Sal's Capacitor Corner* 
http://www.tuberadios.com/capacitors/. All the other caps checked good 
and the resistors were within 15% so I left well enough alone.  Replaced 
the line cord which sounded crunchy.

The set is HOT, especially at the high end.  In my basement, with no 
antenna (other than the three 5 inch leads going to the RF amps grid 
caps), I heard WHAM from Rochester!

? ? I really like Wayne Electronics, too. One of the owners is usually at the Parsippany swapmeets, as well as at most of the local hamfests. They have a solid inventory and the owners are helpful and know what they're talking about.?

Looks impressive.  Would be nice to find something south of 195 though.

Funny! ?Does that switch have a red button?
When I worked at Microwave Semiconductor, I heard the story about a tech going up to the Cal Lab and asking the boss if he had a fuse "just like this one". ?The boss took the fuse from the tech and put it up to his eye for a closer look. ?Finally, he said "No, all of our fuses are good!"Jim
