I started with my mother's treadle machine, and I have a barely "portable" from about 1950, but I mostly use a White rotary that 35 years ago my girlfriend's roommate found on the sidewalk being thrown away in NYC and managed to squeeze into the back of her VW bug, even with the table. She was gay and said that I was the only guy she liked at all.   But I'm posting because, in my search for zig-zag, I came across a Singer that depended on vacuum to control the speed. The person who gave it to me had lost the foot pedal, but I could test it by putting a hose on the connector and sucking on it. The harder I sucked the faster it went!!! Eventually I found a used pedal that wasn't too much money.   I wonder if that uses the same carbon discs. I sort of doubt it, but to find out I'd have to take apart the machine, not just the pedal.

micky <NONONOmisc07@bigfoot.com>: Oct 27 12:32PM -0400 How can the same FM station appear at two different spots on the dial?   To the person who complained recently that I was off topic, I'm sorry. This is not about any repair it would be feasible to make. It's only about electronics.   Where I live there are two FM radio stations, 88.1 which is only a few miles away, and 88.5 which is 40 or 50 miles away.   Right now, only my expensive KLM radio plus any car radio gets the second one well, but I've had some cheap radios that do almost as well.   I lose track of which radios those are, so I'll start tuning at 88.1 and tune up very gradually. After a period of silence, when I get above 88.5 to what I'd estimate is 88.6 or .7 or .8 I get 88.1 again.   How is that happening? I know about harmonics, but that doesn't apply, does it?       P.S. This means 88.5 doesn't come in at all. I've tried stretching out the power cord, which on the cheap radios is usually the antenna. Sometimes that helps but on most of the radios, 88.5 won't come in at all.   P.P.S. 88.1 is WYPR Baltimore. 88.5 is WAMU in DC. Sometimes they play the same thing, like during the top of the hour news, Diane Rehm, etc. although WAMU is on a 5 or 10 second delay most of the time. Because the topic and the voices can be the same it means I can't tell for a while if I've gotten 88.5 or just another 'instance' of 88.1.

You can't defeat them, but, you can make it hard for them.   So, with the letters now deeply routered (is that a verb?), and the knife marks in the back sanded out, and the back painted black so that the gang graffiti is covered, I think I just made it a bit harder for them to vandalize it. https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3950/15018893163_fa337967da_b.jpg   Of course, the teacher told me they unscrewed her desk and hid it two classes down the hall, so, they're formidable opponents.   But, they are kids, after all, and so, I hope that by the end of the year, I'll have a system (titanium perhaps?) that they can't deface!   :)

If they are defacing the potty pass, maybe they can hold it till class is over? Are these illegal non citizens who started their visit to our country by violating the border laws?   I'm not encouraged when our border agencies permit such incredible disrespect for law.   http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/10/25/suspect-in-killing-of-two-california-sheriffs-deputies-was-twice-deported-to-mexico/   - .

The thought process is that any action that is not 'caught' is allowed, simply by definition. There is no higher concept of accountability. No love of righteousness. They are actually 'practicing' the principles they'll use in adulthood by emulating the examples constantly being shown to them by the 'adults' who should know better.

N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Oct 27 01:49PM Used every day,on FM, until one day, switching on and very low level audio out. Tuning is fine on FM and AM is normal. Phono and Aux inputs to amplifier are normal. Schematic on elektrotanya. Nothing loose found on twizzling. There are some ceramic resonator filters, I'm aware of silver migration over such time spans , resulting in attenuation of throughput, anything else to zero-in on? Lots of Din connectors connecting tuner to preamp and amp, power , signal and control connections. Any advice on improving contacts other than needle insertion to tension up the socket yokes a bit.
