NJARC'ers,

Here is, I guess, the rest of my story about the sinking, first CQD, and rescue of passengers who were on the RMS Republic.  I'll be watching. (Also covered in my Voices of the Past presentation at the ARRL convention.)

>From http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/billion-dollar-wreck-history-channel-series-launches-february-8th/

There?s a new treasure on History. The network has announced their new series Billion Dollar Wreck will premiere next week on February 8th.

The series comes from executive producer Michael Bay and will follow ?famed treasure hunter Martin Bayerle and his son Grant.?

Billion Dollar Wreck will follow Bayerle and his son as they look for treasure on the sunken cruise liner, RMS Republic. The Republic sank in 1909 and is reported to have 150,000 American Eagle gold coins aboard.

The series premieres on February 8th, at 10 p.m.

HISTORY TO PREMIERE NEW ORIGINAL SERIES ?BILLION DOLLAR WRECK? PREMIERING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8 AT 10:00 PM ET/PT

EIGHT-PART SERIES UNCOVERS THE MYSTERIOUS QUEST TO SALVAGE OVER A BILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD ABOARD SUNKEN SHIP THE RMS REPUBLIC

NEW YORK, NY ? February 1, 2016 ? HISTORY will premiere the new eight-part series ?Billion Dollar Wreck? from Original Productions in association with executive producer Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes Productions. The hour-long series follows famed treasure hunter Martin Bayerle and his son Grant as they embark on a complex expedition in pursuit of both personal redemption and a billion dollars? worth of treasure aboard the renowned and mysterious sunken cruise liner, RMS Republic. ?Billion Dollar Wreck? premieres Monday, February 8 at 10:00 PM ET/PT.

One of the largest and most luxurious ocean liners of its time, Republic sunk shortly after its departure from New York Harbor in the early hours of January 24, 1909. Considered unsinkable, the White Star ship collided with another vessel and now sits at the bottom of the Atlantic. Life-long treasure hunter Martin Bayerle has spent the past 35 years researching Republic and her reputed cargo of 150,000 American Eagle gold coins, a bounty worth billions today. Bayerle?s exhaustive investigation has turned up evidence that points to a deep-rooted cover-up which may involve some of the era?s biggest historical figures, from the Tsar of Russia to Theodore Roosevelt.

This is Bayerle?s second attempt to find what could be the largest sunken treasure in history. In 1987, he raised millions of dollars for an expedition to recover Republic?s gold, but came home empty-handed. The tragic fallout from the failed attempt destroyed his family, left one person dead, and culminated in a prison sentence for a shocking crime. Through the years Martin?s obsession with solving the Republic?s mystery only grew.

Now, reunited with his son Grant, Martin is returning to the Republic seeking redemption and one last shot at what might lie beneath. Armed with three decades worth of new research, he is convinced he now knows the precise location of this elusive treasure. Together, Martin and Grant will lead a team of salvage divers down the deep, dark and dangerous waters that have held Republic?s secrets hostage for a century.

?Billion Dollar Wreck? is produced for HISTORY by Original Productions and Platinum Dunes Productions. Philip D. Segal, Sarah Whalen and Jarrod Harlow are executive producers for Original Productions along with Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form for Platinum Dunes Productions. Paul Cabana, Michael Stiller and Jim Pasquarella are executive producers for HISTORY.?

Hi John,

Thanks for letting us know about this new TV series.  Sounds really
interesting.  They wrote: 150,000 American Eagle gold coins, a bounty worth
billions today.

Hmmm, my calculator says that 150,000 gold eagles are worth 180 million at
today's prices.  Somebody didn't do their math...

Sincerely,

Michael Stein

As soon as they deliver the gold to me, I'll tell you exactly what it is worth.  :-)

Anyway I sure would like to own one of the coins from the republic.

But you would think with that much gold on board, someone would have got it by now.  Perhaps they did?

73, John

I am pretty sure of what will happen to the collector value of such a 
coin once 150,000 more of them hit the coin market.

Subject: [NJARC] Western Electric Capacitor Question
Message-ID: <56B63A1E.3020807@poetworld.net>

I have a handful of Western Electric capacitors.  They are yellow, and 
mostly flat and rectangular with a few that are cylindrical.  They are 
variously marked ?542 S CAP?, ?542 D CAP?, and ?WE 570 DR CAP?.  I have 
measured them as .01 and .1 uF.  Does anyone have any idea what the 
voltage rating might be and if these were used for some special purpose? 
  A picture is attached.

Thanks,

Plastic ( polyester, polypropylene, polystyrene) capacitors use a thin
wound plastic sheet as the dielectric.
Plastic capacitors, in general, are used in practically all types of
applications including coupling, bypassing, filtering, timing, noise

ranges to 10 megahertz or greater, depending on capacitance value and
construction.

Now I know what I have.  The flat rectangular shape and lack of standard 
markings made me wonder if WE had them made for some specific 
application of theirs.  They are of standard values but I never saw any 
other caps with this flat and rectangular shape but for these.

Hi Ed,

WE made telephone equipment and made all the parts to go in to them.  They didn't sell components outside the company, so there was no need to mark the value.  Working there and having a few surplus parts available, I didn't bother to bring them home unless I could figure from the schematics their values.  Still have a few around here.

Evidently Pete has a book noting values.  Wish I had that back when.

73, John

Yes, WECO made many custom value components.  Back in the 70s I worked 
in the "acceptance" group in the AT&T Long Lines Telegraph (Teletype) 
group in NYC, testing newly installed central office equipment.  I saw 
1003 ohm _1%_ resistors, .0896 capacitors, and the weirdest value 
inductors I ever saw.  I still have some of the standard value 
resistors, and they're still within tolerance!

Almost everything WECO made was custom.  Rack panel screws were 
non-standard threads, even their loose leaf binder ring spacing was non 
standard!

Subject: [NJARC] Billion Dollar Wreck
Message-ID: <CAJucHkUAQTBh_nA_OR9Okp1pwhxFSqVnYGJC3-kqAHA6hSfmVw@mail.gmail.com>

There is an enormous and carefully documented website by Martin Bayerle and
his company, http://www.rms-republic.com/index.php, that explains the
strong likelihood that S.S. Republic had a shipment of $3 million worth of
uncirculated U.S. gold coins.  These would be apparently 1908 $10 "eagles"
and possibly $20 "double eagles," although the researchers don't discuss
dates or types:
http://www.pcgs.com/prices/priceguidedetail.aspx?ms=4&pr=1&sp=1&c=65&title=indian+%2410.
In any case, the stated value of "billions" is based on current prices for
those dates, and typically the value will drop perhaps more than 50% as
150,000-300,000 coins are added to the supply for those dates in the higher
grades. Enjoy if you're buying for history's sake, but think twice before
anticipating handsome resale profits down the road; profits from recovered
hoards are usually a mirage for obvious market reasons:
http://www.amergold.com/library/specialreporthoard.php.

The fascinating part of the story is that the coins were intended for
Russia, which needed the gold to refinance its loan payments. It had
borrowed a great deal during the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5, struggled
politically and economically since, and got the French to invest further in
a new loan in order to recoup their earlier investment.  When the Republic
sank, the U.S., British, French, and Russian governments blocked any
inquiry to cover up the loss and maintain international finance, as a
Russian default on payments would have upset the global economy not long
after the Panic of 1907 that J.P. Morgan et al. salvaged.
Even Jack Binns was effectively shut up, although it's not obvious that he
was in the "need to know" about the necessarily secretive cargo.  That's
one of the related fascinations--before the global credit economy, there
was an enormous amount of gold shipped here, there, and everywhere.  All
the more reason to cry hurrah for bitcoins, whose only drawback is that
it's hard to tell which pocket you put them in.

All,


A former, retired colleague of mine asked me if I would be willing (or know someone willing) to restore a radio (TrueTone 910B ) for him.  The man is in Texas, and is willing to ship the radio to me to have it fixed.


The radio is a family heirloom, not just a radio he bought at a flea market, and he wants it to look as close to the way it did when it was built.  The case itself needs a bit of veneer work, but he stated that he just wanted me to take care of the electrical aspect of the job, as well as sourcing some of the missing knobs\pushbuttons if possible.


I have restored radios to working electrical order before (to various degrees of success) and believe I can do it, but I've never done it to the level he is requesting (restuffing wax caps and electrolytic cans), etc.


Normally if this was a simple snip and replace re-cap project I wouldn't be so worried about cost (since it's an old colleague\friend), but since this is more in depth, and since I have very limited free time right now (full time school and work, and have a multitude of projects on my own right now), I need to put a price to my time.

I know some of you folks do\did the restoration thing on the side, so I thought I'd ask, what do you think is a fair price\value for restoration of a set?


Based on what I can tell, it looks like it'd be replacing\restuffing 13 or so caps, checking resistors and replacing what's out of tolerance, replacing the line cord, testing about 6 tubes, and probably re-aligning both bands and the if.


For reference, here's the schematic.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


Regards,


Matt

Matt -
           I?ll throw in my 2 cents to help. The electrical restoration is usually pretty easy to figure out to price. Since this would include cabinet repair and rest as well as re-stuffing the original caps, this number may get interesting. The trick is going to be how to price for labor. Let?s say the radio has a value of 400 dollars. If you spend (as a guess) 20 hours on the chassis and caps, and another 20 on the cabinet. Now you have 40 hours invested. Do you charge 15 bucks an hour (600 bucks) for a 400 dollar radio. I talk to the owner first before doing the work. Options are best. Maybe explain that you will save a bunch of labor hours by just replacing the caps, rather than restuffing the originals. If the owner wants a really nice finished cabinet, recommend bringing it to a ?professional? woodworker and get a quote from them you can forward the owner. By providing as many options as you can will also give you an idea of what the owner has in his bank account. Are the cheapskates like us, or do they have ?Jay Leno? money. I hope this helps you out.

?If the owner wants a really nice finished cabinet, recommend bringing it to a ?professional? woodworker?
Just make sure that it's a professional woodworker who knows radios. I've seen some professionally refinished radios that look like garbage (e.g., wrong color stain and way too glossy).

This refers to HVAC in particular, which John T's father should appreciate,
but it reminded me of tube radios as well:

Subject: [NJARC] Thought this might be of interest - New Efficiency
 Standards for Wall Warts in the US

 The common household wall wart is now under stricter regulation from the US Government. We can all testify to the waste heat produced by many cheap wall warts. Simply pick one at random in your house, and hold it; it will almost certainly be warm. This regulation hopes to save $300 million in wasted electricity, and reap the benefits, ecologically, of burning that much less fuel.

https://hackadaycom.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/original.png

We don't know what this means practically for the consumer. Will your AliExpress wall warts be turned away at the shore now? Will this increase the cost of the devices? Will it make them less safe? More safe? It's always hard to see where new regulation will go. Also, could it help us get revenge on that knock-off laptop adapter we bought that go hot it melted a section of carpet?

However, it does look like most warts will go from a mandated 50-ish percent efficiency to 85% and up. This is a pretty big change, and some hold-out manufacturers are going to have to switch gears to newer circuit designs if they want to keep up. We're also interested to hear the thoughts of those of you outside of the US. Is the US finally catching up, or is this something new?

Hi Alex
I would think all you would need is a balen to switch the screw terminals
to coax and an RF modulator to convert RCA inputs to coax. You could also
use a digital cable box or OTA digital receiver to directly couple to the
balen over coax, but you'd be getting a 16:9 format shrunk down on a tiny
 inch CRT. The RF modulator hooked up to a DVD player or PC is probably the
way to go.
RF modulators are cheap. Check Amazon.

Like this one here:
http://www.amazon.com/RCA-Compact-RF-Modulator-CRF907R/dp/B0014KKV7W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455661355&sr=8-1&keywords=RF+modulator

Regards and Good Luck

You need an RF modulator to convert the video signal to an RF signal on
Channel 3 (or another channel.)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Channel-Composite-Video-To-RF-CATV-Channel-Coax-Modulator-MD210-/190796148436?hash=item2c6c562ed4:g:VE4AAMXQTT9RvOAc

or

Unless your modulator has a 300 ohm / twinlead output, you'll also need a
coax-to-twinlead / 300 ohm to 75 ohm adapter:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UHF-VHF-FM-Gold-Plated-75-300-Ohm-TV-Coaxial-Antenna-Cable-Matching-Transformer-/252192208865?hash=item3ab7d3b7e1:g:Of4AAOSwnH1WXBDD

and a short piece of coaxial cable to go from the output jack of the
modulator to the 75/300 transformer.  You'll also need, of course, video
and audio cables to run from the DVD playr to the modulator.

Not that you'll likely be interested in saving 10 or 15 bucks, but several
of my 'white trash' setups utilize a defunct VHS video player as a "free"
modulator.

For an 'industrial strength' solution, you could use a Blonder Tongue Agile
Modulator with baseband video input.  The little consumer-grade modulators
should be entirely adequate for what you're doing.

Thanks Joe and Dave,

Nice to see that the RCA brand name still gets good ratings and that
videogame players still need a channel 3/4 box to see their action on
the small screen!

Agreed, it was a nice presentation to watch in any case! If I were showing off my restoration process, I wouldn't have kept showing that tiny printed board with miniature tubes though. A chassis with larger tubes would have looked more antique radio like.

I always appreciate industrial design. While the radios are not examples of radio history so much they are art. If you put enough of something together it becomes a collection. We would all appreciate having more collectors interested in radio and repair. Maybe we can have repair clinics in nursing homes if we don't replenish our ranks.

Despite the inaccuracies, I really enjoyed this snippet. It at least brings attention to our hobby. Thanks Bob for finding it and bringing to us. Maybe "Fox" would have been more " fair and balanced "? lol. 

Despite all the "stuff" I need to bring to the repair clinic tomorrow, I'll bring my "you tube" stuff to capture everything but the zorches from improperly installed components!

Interesting that you thought the table tops were "modern junk".  They might not be "antique", but they are already are at a minimum 50 years old and certainly count as vintage.  Most of them in the picture are probably at least 60 years old.

Regardless, everybody has heard the "one man's junk" adage.  Obviously it's that guy's treasure.

Regards,

Matt

Subject: [NJARC] Oldies station in Ontario
Message-ID: <1531639fcf0-511c-2c06@webprd-m68.mail.aol.com>

I've been having a problem with AM 740 from Toronto this winter.  Recently, I caught an AM station at the top of the band, CKDO 1580 AM from Oshawa, Ontario.     http://www.ckdo.ca/      It certainly has been a powerhouse here for the last few nights.  

Currently, I am using a Philco 40-150 with the internal loop and about 6 ft of additional wire in the house. It tunes in better on the first SW (Police segment) rather than on the AM Broadcast band.

The station reminds me of how WKBW 1520 AM from Buffalo was that went to all sports talk several years ago.  

Regards from Maine,

Joe Devonshire  AB1YO

 Joe -
            For some reason, AM DX has certainly been strange the last few months. I have seen that within the last 3 weeks or so, the stations from the ?great white north? AM 740, AM 900, and others have not been as strong as usual. Even WKBW-1520 in Buffalo has not been the usual powerhouse. The funny thing is that the stations from the southern US has been unusually strong. WSB-750 in Atlanta has been stronger than AM 740 in Toronto. Another surprise was Monday night while tuning around, Radio Reloj was super strong at AM-790 like I never heard it that strong before. My last 2 weeks DX listening was done on a 6 tube RCA 16T4 radio with a 300 ohm old school twin lead strung out the window 50 foot long, 15 foot high in the backyard. My other antennas are currently grounded due to a storm traveling through the area as I type.

Joe and the Gang,

AM 900, CHML, Hamilton, Ontario, is nice and loud here in Jersey City as 
I type.  They have a news-talk format, but go to old radio shows at 10 PM.
See:  http://www.900chml.com/old-radio-shows/

Out in the country (Western NJ)  I could listen to them on a modest 
crystal set.

Take a listen,
Al

In New York City over the last few days I was able to pull in decent signals from WTAM Cleveland, WBAL Baltimore and Federal News Radio in DC. I know it's not a big deal for alot of Jersey people but I'm also able to get a fairly decent signal from WMTR. I agree though, CHML and Zoomer Radio AM 740 have been on the weak side these days.

Joe,

On second thought, CHML probably won't be strong in Maine.



Their night-time directional antenna is pretty much aimed directly at 
NYC, with not much in your direction.

From: http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/patg?id=CHML-AM&s=F&h=N

An outside wire will help a lot, or an inside tuned loop or a radio with 
a built in loop may be the answer.

I can live with "The Donald" stringing up a wire on the US-Canadian border. 

None of us can live with Obama ignoring the US Constitution. 

Do you really want to bring up political matters on this forum?

Hi all. Here in Eastern PA CHML is coming just fine.  Zoomed Radio is sometimes less reliable.  Lately the stations located south and west of my location are coming in much stronger.  Stations like KXEL and WSB and WWL seem as though they are local.  Cubans, too, are very strong.  Radio Rebele even can swamp WOR at times.  Due to some man-made interference frequencies below 700 don?t come in too clear - lots of interference.  Doesn?t seem to matter which radio/antenna combo I use.  It definitely has been a strange DX season.

I know it's not a big deal for alot of Jersey people but I'm also able to get a fairly decent signal from WMTR. I agree though, CHML and Zoomer Radio AM 740 have been on the weak side these days.

>>>             For some reason, AM DX has certainly been strange the last few months. I have seen that within the last 3 weeks or so, the stations from the ?great white north? AM 740, AM 900, and others have not been as strong as usual. Even WKBW-1520 in Buffalo has not been the usual powerhouse. The funny thing is that the stations from the southern US has been unusually strong. WSB-750 in Atlanta has been stronger than AM 740 in Toronto. Another surprise was Monday night while tuning around, Radio Reloj was super strong at AM-790 like I never heard it that strong before. My last 2 weeks DX listening was done on a 6 tube RCA 16T4 radio with a 300 ohm old school twin lead strung out the window 50 foot long, 15 foot high in the backyard. My other antennas are currently grounded due to a storm traveling through the area as I type.

Re: [NJARC] Request to be removed from mailing list. 

Hello: 

If this means that Ed Papson is removed from the NJARC mailing list, 
then also remove me as a NJARC member effective immediately. 

Should anyone make a cheap shot or joke about a Political figure on the mailing list, 
it is only reasonable to expect a reply from someone on the other side. 
Basically, in my view, the NJARC mailing list should not be a forum for political discussion or jokes. 

Lastly, such an action like delisting someone with a different political viewpoint 
speaks volumes about the NJARC mailing list members. Especially, to do so in 
such a, excuse me, cowardly fashion. 

Please do me the courtesy of wiping my email & other information from the NJARC files. 
Any future communications from NJARC will not be read and put into my spam file & blocked. 
You've been delisted as well. 

Thank you, 
Ed Papson

I also don't like political jokes...

OK Guys, take a break and cool off.

Nobody has been removed from the reflector.  I'm the remover person.

Lets keep it to radio related and leave political comments off the list.

Richard:
The Parsippany swapmeet isn't listed on the local hamfest/swapmeet directory. It usually is. For example, the fall one is listed. I mention this because I think a lot of people in the NJ/NY area use this directory to locate hamfests and swapmeets, so making sure it is included can only help attendance.
