No different than organizing a kitchen utensils drawer.   A place for everything, and everything in its place.   Given that, I'll repeat the two simple questions here: 1. How do *you* organize your phone? 2. What apps do you find are *best* for what you do?   Specifically: 1. How do *you* organize your phone?

N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Aug 11 04:32PM +0100 Owner decided to power up on full 240V mains after being in an English garage for many years. Worked perfectly before "storage" and well for a few minutes and then arcing and sparking crackling noise so he switched off. 3 amp mains fuse ok but at half mains on a variac taking about 1 amp with all valves removed. I'm assuming the excess current draw does not disappear at 100% mains, I've not tried, but about 1.2 amp at 50% and not distressing let alone blowing 3 amp at 100% before my powering, curious? Unusual, for these days, winding pattern,? no magnetising buzz heard at 50% mains or other any odd noises. With variac "mains" of 34V ac, secondaries give, multiplying by 240/34, 465V, 6.3V, 5V, ie ballpark values . "HT" is ratioed 27 to 39 V ac wrt ground, but 27+39 multiplies to 465V . I've not desoldered the mains Tx primary or secondaries yet, but what could be the failing in the Tx to give otherwise good scaled outputs. There is a lot of tar leaked out of the Tx , but that was in antiquity presumably and normal. HT caps and o/p tx have been replaced at some time and a dummy load/sp attenuator added for recording

jurb6006@gmail.com: Aug 11 03:00AM -0700 Where are you geographically ? I don't know what that other dude is talking about with this "why are you treating him this way ?". It is a legitimate question.   Let me tell you some true shit. I am in Cleveland, Ohio and I fixed a stereo for a guy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was a kinda heavy bulky thing and cost $300 round trip on UPS, AND THEY FUCKED IT UP. And in an insidious way that would be so hard to prove. So he gets ahold of me and we talk, he emails video of what its doing and pictures of a part that fell out and then we met, pretty much at the state line. Little bar off the pike and can whet your whistle a bit.   Bottom line, if you want to ship two betamaxes it is not likely to be cheap. And if you need belts, let's just say the days of the five buck belt kits are over.   If the Sanyo has the mech I think it has it will need a super small belt and probably idler. I would guess they are not that great of a deck, but if the heads are good they are worth fixing if you can get the parts. And of course now there are 3D printers if you peel off enough green. Actually you have to glue the thing together and they have to go in a program like Solidworks or something and fix it. THEN it gets sent to the 3D printer without the line in it from where the glue was. And you have to learn this software, it doesn't just do it automatically. Friend of mine does something similar and figures he should be able to do it with the software on his PC, which is Rhino, which is supposedly better than Solidworks.   But they got a specific file type for that. I forgot the extension but it is kinda standardised.   Now, this (SL)2700. That is a hifi deck correct ? By that time I do believe their mech used that much coveted reel motor assembly that allowed them to go into reverse immediately. If your reel drive runs off of your capstan motor you need a tape slack pickup routine every time the customer pushes reverse search. With a separate rell motor that is not a problem.   Problem is something started happening to those motors and they started pulling alot of current. And back then $70 for the motor itself, and the is net dealer price.   You knew by this one transistor failing time and time again. The only thing you could do now is to modify it to supply the current. But in time, how long will the motor take it and how long will the power supply supply it ?   No matter what this is not going to be cheap.

If they have them they can grab their Darwin award but it is pretty hard to hurt anyone else. So I guess let them have them.   Do you mean the specs that are printed on parts - like relays - should be respected?   What an odd idea!   John ;-#)#   -- (Please post followups or tech inquiries to the USENET newsgroup) John's Jukes Ltd. 2343 Main St., Vancouver, BC, Canada V5T 3C9 (604)872-5757 or Fax 872-2010 (Pinballs, Jukes, Video Games) www.flippers.com "Old pinballers never die, they just flip out."

"   I am old and have funny notions like that.   But I do have to admit to putting foil on the fuses in my amp so it could drive 2.3 ohm loads. One eight ohm and one four ohm per channel in parallel. Actually, never blew the outputs, it didn't even get that hot. Sansui 771.
