An important consideration is to have control over the volume. If you can't force the radio to "mono," you might need to cobble up an adapter to combine the "tip" and "ring" signals. Just hooking them together is OK for starters. Uncle Bob Al Klase ?

A quick look at Title 17 of the U.S. Code (i.e., federal copyright law) suggests that a lot depends on things such as the size of your store, number of speakers etc. The copyright statutes have inclusions and exemptions. I couldn't give you a definitive answer because I'm not familiar with that area of the law. Since Title 17 is highly technical and somewhat difficult to understand, I wouldn't suggest that you and your boss try to figure it out for yourselves. Your best bet would be a quick consultation with an intellectual-property attorney. ????????????????Joe Connor On Friday, July 1, 2016 5:15 PM, Joe Giliberti wrote: Just remember Reply = Poster Reply All = Everyone _________________________________________________________ wink, wink, nod, nod, Bob's your uncle On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 5:14 PM, Joe Giliberti wrote: > Shush, you! > > On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 5:07 PM, Matt Reynolds wrote: >> I can't speak for the technology but I'm pretty sure you need a license from >> EMI\ASCAP to rebroadcast a radio station in public without a license to the >> content being played. >> >> >> ________________________________ >> From: NJARC on behalf of Joe Giliberti >> >> Sent: Friday, July 1, 2016 4:57:22 PM >> To: New Jersey Antique Radio Club >> Subject: [NJARC] Please God, Help me stop the Muzak! >> >> Just remember >> Reply = Poster >> Reply All = Everyone >> >> _________________________________________________________ >> >> Help! >> >> My boss and I are trying to link in an FM radio to the store PA system >> to replace the 6 hour loop of corporate crap.

If it's just a matter of holes and tears, i.e., the voice coil moves freely, then patch it up with paper towel and rubber cement. Another alternative is to install a PM speaker, and a choke in place of the field coil. You might need a resistor in series with the choke to bring the voltage down to the right value. Al Al Klase ?

I have known him over 30 years and he has done a lot of speaker over that time. When he repairs them he can also test them and listen to them before returning him. He gets high marks from me!

If it's just a matter of holes and tears, i.e., the voice coil moves freely, then patch it up with paper towel and rubber cement. Another alternative is to install a PM speaker, and a choke in place of the field coil. You might need a resistor in series with the choke to bring the voltage down to the right value. Al Al Klase ?

I have two in my antenna tuner. Different make and much earlier (WWII vintage out of BC375/191) roller inductors are used in my homebrew tuner that cover from 160 to 6 meters. The tuner is fashioned after the AG6K design where the unbalanced to balanced transformation takes place at 50 ohms and then the tuner matches the 50 ohms to my 600 ohm balanced ladder line to my 290 foot inverted V.

One item I glanced at was $300, cigar boxes of parts were $5-10, probably depends on what's inside. I got there after 4pm and it seemed nothing was moving. Took a chance on a weed eater for $10. Plenty of gel cell batteries in the basement but will they hold a charge? I didn't notice any silly scopes so maybe someone grabbed them already (someday I'll buy one) or I just couldn't find them amid the mess. Lots of RC gear still there, servos, receivers, motors. A diggers delight which will tie up a good part of your day looking through boxes. njarc-request at mailman.qth.net wrote: > Send NJARC mailing list submissions to > njarc at mailman.qth.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/njarc > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > njarc-request at mailman.qth.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > njarc-owner at mailman.qth.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of NJARC digest..." > > > Visit our web site - See http://www.njarc.org > _______________________________________________ > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

I heard the most understandable explanation of probe compensation ever. I think I actually finally understand it. 2. I heard the best explanation ever of 'scope triggering ever. I've watched Alan's original "Scopes for Dopes" presentation several times, but either I keep forgetting some of the details, or tonight's presentation just made some points clearer for this particular 'dope.' For those of us (the ones I like to call "real engineers") like Al Klase and Alan Wolke, who understand all this stuff intimately, my heartfelt thanks for slogging through basic material again and again for the benefit of us 'shade tree engineers' who continually struggle with so many of the fine points! I know that many of you appreciate the live webcasts. Tonight I got to experience the meeting via the webcast, which is an unusual situation for me; usually I'm sending it out! So a big "Thank You" to Matt Reynolds for wrangling things in my absence. (And another big "Thank You" to RadioWild for recording the presentation on HD video!) Watching via webcast was a bit frustrating at times, as many of you have mentioned to me in the past. Tonight I got first-hand experience with freezing video, commercial interruptions, suboptimal audio and all the rest of the stuff that makes the webcast only the next-best thing to attending the meeting. Still, it's way better than missing it completely. And I did get a few ideas on how to make things better, so we'll see how that goes. I greatly enjoyed attending the July NJARC meeting... ...from several thousand miles away. That's at least two reasons ya gotta love this club! -- Dave Sica -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The wiring is usually pretty simple, but not as organized as the "put the 10K resistor BROWN-BLACK-ORANGE here" situation. You'll likely have to read a schematic and count pins. All the rest is SMOP (simply a matter of programming). Fortunately, most projects involve a pre-written "sketch" (program) that you may want to hack to get your desired results. One probably ought to start on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino It's interesting that Ardunio was the bar where these guys hung out. What the Jameco kit has going for it is convenience, but it's rather overpriced. I'd also check on the capabilities of the freq. counter. I'm not sure Arduino can do more than a couple MHZ without additional circuitry. The last Arnuino UNO's I bought out of China via Ebay were $3.50 each shipped. Inspired by Joe's email, I just ordered a couple of the LCD "shields" with push buttons, as seen in the Jameco kit, for 3 bucks each. There are comprehensive starter kits, most including LCD display and even a stepping motor, in the $25-50 range. (Ebay) The reality here in the 21st Century is that it's more cost effective to sell a complete item, like an Arduino board, than to try to kit up a bunch of parts and write assembly instructions. The end product would get really expensive. However, modern microcontrollers give us the capability to do things that would have been a real PITA in the old days. Consider the simulated Marconi Cape Cod spark transmitter that feeds this demo: http://www.ar88.net/arm4/images/regen.swf I took deliver of an Arduino, plugged it into my PC, loaded the development software (free) and checked that the LED on the circuit card blinked. Then I used Google to find an Arduino Morse code beacon sketch, that flashed Morse on the LED. After an hour of hacking I had it feeding Morse as as a 240 Hz square wave (there was a built-in instruction for this) to a simple LC circuit to make spark-like RF, In the late 20th Century, it would have taken me weeks to do this, even though I have some background in micros. Now it's trivial. I'll let Klancer tell you about Rasberry-Pi. He has one grabbing AP news off the Internet and feeding it to a WWII teletype at the Museum. Enough, Al Al Klase ?

So, I have a nice functioning Simpson Model 269, Series 2, " Ultra High Sensitivity Volt Ohm Micro Ammeter" , That is what it says on the meter face :-). Comes with the original owners manual, both in very good condition. I may even have the original box somewhere.....may find it as I "clean out" the house before sale...if I find it I will send to buyer of meter. I've heard the analog multimeters are better than the newer digital one for some tube equipment testing so I'm offering it to NJARC members first before trying ebay or qrz.com. I prefer a local pick up and can maybe bring it to a meeting at Infoage. I also have a" basket case" Hallicrafters SR20R, which I will throw in....it may be too far gone to restore.....maybe good for some parts. I will take $50.00 for both. I've attached photo of meter with manual, but I don't know if attached photo will be "scrubbed" from this message....if so and someone wants photo, email me and I will contact direct with photo attached. I will wait a few days to see if any interest from NJARC members....if not, will list it for sale on qrz.com next week. Regards, Rich K2CPE rckchp at comcast.net 732-859-2716 (leave message) PS: I also have 3 nice large vari caps, such as used for home brew antenna tuner ( no broken or bent plates), and a big double pole, double throw "knife" switch, such as used with "ladder line" or "open wire feed" transmitting antenna systems. Anyone hams interested email me and I will email photos. These will also be listed on qrz.com next week. PPS: While I'm thinking about it, I just remembered I also have a Johnson Matchbox Junior antenna tuner. It is the 275 watt version, but alleged by some to be overbuilt and able to handle considerably more power. Email for photos, etc. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

When I recently replied to a sales guy here that this is what on line is for - per their ads saying "quick and easy on line quotes" he told me to go F myself.

It used to be the classic old-time local station until it was sold a while back. Now, it plays oldies and is pretty generic. These outfits that own a pile of stations have, in my opinion, destroyed AM radio. I loved all those old idiosyncratic, locally owned stations of the past with announcers, newscasters and disk jockeys who became part of the community and with ads for small local businesses. In the early mornings on snowy days, we used to sit transfixed listening to WMTR to see if our school was closed. Joe Connor On Friday, July 22, 2016 3:11 PM, E.

To continue The tube tester I have right now is a fairly good one that I got from Steve Goulart. It is a Sencore Mighty Might VII. Is a great machine and it seems very accurate but it does not test all the tubes I need to, namely big pin tubes. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a machine that is of decent quality but is also something I could afford, preferably under $150. I'm not uncomfortable with making repairs to one that has problems. I can hang on to the one I have for when I need to test compactrons and nuvistors. As far as other equipment goes, I recently picked up a very nice variable power supply at a garage sale for $10 . It does up to 36 volts at up to 20 amps . I'd also be interested interested in a decent signal generator, a CRT tester and something I can use as a B+ power supply. If anyone has any suggestions of equipment that would be of good quality but not too expensive I'd appreciate it.. Anything else I need outside of those parts?

Your power supply is pretty much good for car radios and maybe 1920's battery sets; a CRT tester is good for TV's or oscilloscope service and not much more; and as for a B+ supply, nearly all tube radios and equipment have B+ built in. Choice of a signal generator depends upon what you will be working on.

To continueThe tube tester I have right now is a fairly good one that I got from Steve Goulart. It is a Sencore Mighty Might VII. Is a great machine and it seems very accurate but it does not test all the tubes I need to, namely big pin tubes. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a machine that is of decent quality but is also something I could afford, preferably under $150. I'm not uncomfortable with making repairs to one that has problems. I can hang on to the one I have for when I need to test compactrons and nuvistors.As far as other equipment goes, I recently picked up a? very nice variable power supply? at a garage sale for $10 .? It does? up to 36 volts? at up to 20 amps . I'd also be interested interested in a decent signal generator, a CRT tester and something I can use as a B+ power supply. If anyone has any suggestions of equipment that would be of good quality but not too expensive I'd appreciate it..

Message-ID: All, I took a gamble at a flea market two weeks ago and bought a contractor grade Milwaukee 1/2" battery hammer drill. It was in the case with two 28V (yes, 28, not 18) Lithium Ion Batteries and a charger, for 30 bucks. The seller said the batteries were good, but didn't last long. Turns out, they are so dead they've gone dormant and won't charge. I'm going to bench test the drill with a bench power supply to see if the drill at least works. If it does, I will work on making it cordless again. Unfortunately, I've found that these batteries are about 100 bucks each (!) and it turns out (per Batteries Plus\Batteries & Bulbs) it's illegal to commercially rebuild Lithium Ion Battery packs in NJ. I've been investigating what my options are, and I'm considering rebuilding the packs myself, but from what I've read, Lithium cells are very heat sensitive and it's very dangerous to rebuild them via soldering. Evidently they are generally spot welded together by the tabs at the factories. I have at home what I was told is a "thermocouple wire welder" which I believe uses an arc (presumably like discharging large caps) to weld metal together. Is this a "safe" way to weld lithium cells? Can you discharge caps into lithium cells to weld without harming them? I would be fine with converting the cells to Ni-Cd, but I'm sure the protection circuitry of the pack won't permit that. The charger that came with the drill can charge 18v Ni-Cd or 28V lithium, but I'm sure the pack circuitry is different. I might be better served hunting down one of those 18v packs and rebuilding one of those instead. I just thought I'd shoot this out on the reflector in case anybody else has had experience with this.

I suspected it was probably a risk to rebuild, and figured they'd be expensive, but had no idea replacements would be THAT expensive. I'll check the drill on a bench supply to see if it even works. If it doesn't i'll write it off as a risk. if it does work I think i'll opt for the two 18v ni-cads in place of the 28v lithiums. The drill supposedly runs on both. I'm clearly not a contractor/carpenter, and I won't use it nearly as heavily as they would, so the risk of letting the older, dumber Ni-cd batteries drain all the way down is easier to cope with and remedy than the lithiums. I've seen ham folk sell cells (by the seashore?) individually at fests before so I knew I'd hear useful discussion on the subject from you guys. Thank you.

I have a beautiful Snap on battery impact has served me well orig cost $500.00 batteries are done I can buy a new one cheaper than batteries.

Just remember Reply = Poster Reply All = Everyone _________________________________________________________ Hi Matt, spend the $100 and dispose of the old one. 73, John I took a gamble at a flea market two weeks ago and bought a contractor grade Milwaukee 1/2" battery hammer drill. It was in the case with two 28V (yes, 28, not 18) Lithium Ion Batteries and a charger, for 30 bucks. The seller said the batteries were good, but didn't last long. Turns out, they are so dead they've gone dormant and won't charge. I'm going to bench test the drill with a bench power supply to see if the drill at least works. If it does, I will work on making it cordless again. Unfortunately, I've found that these batteries are about 100 bucks each (!) and it turns out (per Batteries Plus\Batteries & Bulbs) it's illegal to commercially rebuild Lithium Ion Battery packs in NJ. I've been investigating what my options are, and I'm considering rebuilding the packs myself, but from what I've read, Lithium cells are very heat sensitive and it's very dangerous to rebuild them via soldering. Evidently they are generally spot welded together by the tabs at the factories. I have at home what I was told is a "thermocouple wire welder" which I believe uses an arc (presumably like discharging large caps) to weld metal together. Is this a "safe" way to weld lithium cells? Can you discharge caps into lithium cells to weld without harming them? I would be fine with converting the cells to Ni-Cd, but I'm sure the protection circuitry of the pack won't permit that. The charger that came with the drill can charge 18v Ni-Cd or 28V lithium, but I'm sure the pack circuitry is different. I might be better served hunting down one of those 18v packs and rebuilding one of those instead. I just thought I'd shoot this out on the reflector in case anybody else has had experience with this. The packs have 7 3.7V "moli cells".

I have soldered a heavy zip cord to a battery powered drill terminals and used a 12 volt lead-acid gel cell for power. ?Perhaps you could do something similar? ?Lead-acid batteries do well under constant trickle charge so they should be there for you when you need to use the tool again. ?The only down side is the umbilical between the tool and the auxiliary battery.Jim From: Pete Grave via NJARC To: dino66 at optonline.net; oldradio at comcast.net; mattr04 at hotmail.com Cc: njarc at mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2016 10:00 AM Subject: Re: [NJARC] safely weld/solder Lithium battery cells?
