Where the track is not too bad , just worn in arcs.
Bend, out or in, whichever direction has most fresh track,
the wiper blade/blades, to use a different
part of track. If the wiper support can be wedged
away from the track then bend the wiper to give more
contact force. If limited access then 2 needle points one about where the
wiper starts
to bend and then at the wiper/s themselved , on the other side and against
one another
force in some more wiper tension. To do this with dual pots , usually the
central one is not
acessible. With a Dremmel and .5mm grinding disc, cut 2 or 3 slots in the
screening can ,
enough to bend outwards and gain some space. Bend back afterwards and glue
over the cuts.
If the rivets have slackened on the
paxolin then squash with an old pair of basic red/blue/yellow single
action crimp pliers. To get to the wiper rivet
grind down the the interfering bulges a bit between the
red and blue sections of the crimp tool.

DISCOVER ISLAM - THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN THE WORLD
Did you read about Islam from it,s original sources?
Is the information about Islam that published at International Media
is correct ?
Excuse me!!
Would you stop for a moment?!
O...man...Haven't you thought-one day- about yourself ?
Who has made it?
Have you seen a design which hasn't a designer ?!
Have you seen a wonderful,delicate work without a worker ?!
It's you and the whole universe!..
Who has made them all ?!!
You know who ?.. It's "ALLAH",prise be to him.
Just think for a moment.
How are you going to be after death ?!
Can you believe that this exact system of the universe and all of
these great creation will end in in nothing...just after death!
Have you thought, for a second, How to save your soul from Allah's
punishment?!
Haven't you thought about what is the right religion?!
Read ... and think deeply before you answer..
It is religion of Islam.
It is the religion that Mohammad-peace upon him- the last prophet, had
been sent by.
It is the religion that the right Bible- which is not distorted-has
preached.
Just have a look at The Bible of (Bernaba).
Don't be emstional.
Be rational and judge..
Just look..listen...compare..and then judge and say your word.

When not called "tv coaxial antenna plug" (or some variation thereof)
I've heard it called called "Belling-Lee" or "PAL" (neither of which
are technically accurate).
compared to F connectors it has the advantage of withstanding more
insertion cycles, but the disadvantage of poor impedance matching.
Wikipedia suggests it is standardised as "IEC 169-2"

Motorola was the first or one of the first to make radios for motor

Why can't Motorola be it's proper name? It was "invented" by Motorola.
It's a longer version of the the RCA connector, "invented" by RCA.
Probably at one time RCA had a patent on its connector and Motorola
had a patent on theirs.
It wasn't until the second world war that the concept of standarization
across manufacturers was pushed. Companies made their own parts, connectors,
etc, and tried to prevent competion.

It seems that the manufacturers of anything battery-powered haven't gotten
the message. I have two shelves full of nearly identical batteries and
nearly identical chargers that are totally incompatible.

While I personally think the world would be a better place if everyone
standardized on 1.2 volt AA batteries (preferably NiMH at the moment) it's
a loosing battle.
You would figure that after the battery disaster with the original iPod
Apple would have done something better but it seems that their customers
prefer internal batteries that need to be replace by a technician or the
entire device recycled.
Come to think of it, every pocket music or video player I have ever seen
except for the first, a 256meg USB stick, had a "permanent" battery.

I don't think that's correct. An F connector normally uses the center
conductor of the cable -- a wire -- as the center connection -- not an
RCA-like plug.
The press-on F connectors I've seen use a slotted jacket that usually fits
snugly and rarely causes problems.

The "GR" connector is *not* a "double banana". The GR connector is a
hermaphroditic connector about an inch in diameter.
Some GR to BNC in the first pic and a GR 'T's in the second and third:

Officially, on both sides of the pond, they are referred to as IEC
169-2, or IEC 60169-2 connectors, and they are CRAP for TV usage as
they are not a proper match to 75 ohm cable - actually closer to 50
ohm, and cause reflections and ghosting of the signal
The IEC 169-24, or "F" connector is superior for TV use.

Hi,
does anyone use or know of a good software package you can run on a laptop /
external soundcard for audio test and measurement purposes?
Just something basic that will generate signals, and have some kind of 2 or
3 channel scope display/level meters, and a frequency response
display/printout would be rather nice too.
Cheers,
Gareth.
