Those aren't hard to replace, but if you want 'em to look pretty, get a factory-replacement part with the right crimps.   As for 'likely', I'd say plug it in and find out. The external layer of the hoses might look cracked, but that ISN"T the layer that holds the water pressure. If youi can do the first test outdoors, or over a drain, and use a GCFI receptacle for power, faults can't hurt you.   But maybe you don't want the best dishes in the tub when testing.

Look165 <look165@numericable.fr>: Feb 24 10:33AM +0100 Generally, those gaskets are symetrical. It might be fixed by mounting the gaset upside down. The bottom is more compressed than the top ans thus can leak.   John Robertson a écrit le 23/02/2019 à 23:10 :

thekmanrocks@gmail.com: Feb 23 03:53PM -0800 WD-40 is a CLEANER - for mechanical movements only, not electronics. As such, it should be followed up with a proper lubricant in door hinges, latches, or anything else it has been used to free up around the home or business.   For electronics, use electronics cleaner. That's why it's called 'electronics cleaner/spray'.

Thanks for your time and help.   IFR power supplies seem to be a problem. I have an IFR-1500, also with a power supply problem: <http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/IFR-1500%20Power%20Supply%20Repair/IFR-1500%20power%20supply%20repair.html> The repair didn't last and it died again after about 2 years. I then replaced every semiconductor and capacitor in the AC power supply section trying to revive the PS but no luck. I'm now looking into a replacement brick power supply for AC only operation because I don't need 12V operation. Amazingly, the original PS still runs on 12V, which is the way I currently run it. You might want to check if yours also runs on 12V.   You should be able to find the necessary documentation here: <http://www.repeater-builder.com/test-equipment/aeroflex/aeroflex-index.html>   If you want to buy a power supply or have yours repaired: <http://www.siliconinvestigations.com/ifrrep/ifr1600/ifr1600.htm>   Good luck and please let me know if you find anything in your power supply.

When disconnected from any power source, memory contents were maintained by the charge on a 220 Microfarad capacitor. Over a month, memory contents were lost due to leakage.   I installed a 3.6 Volt Lithium battery, isolated by a 1N4004 diode, across the capacitor. This approach may work for you if the operating memory voltage is higher than 3.6 Volts.   Last time I checked, memory contents were still good after ten years!   Fred

You are well below the main lobes of the cellular antennas on the nearby roof but close enough that you are going to see problems created by all the transmitters. 2. Running the 3 guy wires through the elements of the lower antenna will have a detrimental effect on the antenna pattern and gain. I suggest you remove the galvanized guy wires and replace them with a non-conductive equivalent such as a UV resistant polyester or kevlar guy wires. 3, The mast clamp, where the 3 guy wires meet, is heavily rusted. This is normally not a problem. However, in a high RF field environment, rusted metal can produce a diode junction, which will mix two or more signals or their harmonics to produce what is called intermodulation. This intermodulation is a possible source of your alleged interference. You can temporarily fix a problem cause by a rusty connection by simply beating on the mast with a hammer to break through the rust. However, given time and weather, it will be back. I suggest you replace the clamp with something that is hot dip galvanized or plastic insulated. 4. The unused upper antenna appears to include a small UHF antenna below the main VHF antenna. I only see a single coaxial cable, but no VHF/UHF band splitter. If you eventually resurrect the upper antenna, you might check if it's wired properly. 5. Thank you for the nice photo of the upper antenna, which is not being used, but only part of the lower antenna, which is being used. I wanted to see the feed point of the lower antenna, which was cut off. Also, I can barely see half of what might be a UHF element on the front of the lower antenna.     >>Which channels?   >All channels, though the lower-freq ones are >worse.   Improbable. There are no jammers or signal sources that can wipe out the entire TV spectrum. For Australia DTV, that would be 694-820 MHz. <https://www.communications.gov.au/what-we-do/spectrum/digital-dividend-spectrum> Certainly not interference caused by a cellular transmitter, which would be far more noticeable on the higher channels than the lower.   It's possible that there is so much RF that the front end of your unspecified model Sony TV receiver is being overload. This is called "blocking" where the high RF level is rectified by the amplifying devices in the front end of the receiver, causing the biasing of the devices to change, and generally reducing its gain. This would reduce the receiver sensitivity on all channels, as you describe. However, unless something in the antenna farm is running really high power, or your unspecified model Sony TV receiver is poorly designed, such blocking is improbable. (Possible, but not likely).   >>source got turned off? I once disarmed a "negative ion generator" >>that was wiping out OTA TV reception in part of an apartment building.   >No. It all just stopped.   Well, I see three possibilities: 1. Your antenna and/or coaxial cable system is intermittent due to either a short across the coax, or a bad connection on the center pin or shield. It could be anywhere but most likely at the connector ends. Also, look for "U" staples punching through the coax cable. 2. Your TV has a problem. Test with by borrowing another TV and comparing. If only your TV has the problem, the culprit is obvious. 3. A fairly high power cellular transmitter nearby was turned off.   >up into the maid's room, and buy a >newone..especially since these have greater >functionallity for movie formats.   Is there some reason why you have failed twice to provide the model number of your 2006 Sony TV?   >I have an el-cheapo signal-strength meter, and >this shows up to the second-top indication. >https://www.jaycar.com.au/digital-tv-signal-strength-meter/p/LT3332   I'm not familiar with that product. It will tell you if you have a signal in the TV band, but will not tell you on what channel, or whether it's a TV transmitter or cellular transmitter.   >Thank you. >I can always use a bit of luck.   You're welcome.

Interference is rarely on more than one channel at a time unless you have a broadband source (6MHz per channel) that's causing the alleged interference.   >mainly pixelation but sometimes >"no signal".   Pixelation can mean many things.

My guess(tm) is 11 degrees vertical beamwidth on 850MHz and 6 degrees on 1900MHz. In other words, all the RF is going over your head and not into your house. However, if you have a rooftop antenna, or live in a multistory house that puts you into the beam, then maybe the cellular stuff is causing a problem.     >Note the plethora of weird aerials on its roof >which might be causing the interference on my 2006 >Sony wide-screen TV.   Ah, you decided to disclose the maker and age of the TV without bothering to supply a model number. Very good. It's a start. I don't suppose there might be something wrong with a 13 year TV? The transition from analog to digital TV started in 1996 and was done in 2009. So, your TV probably has an ATSC tuner. 2006 puts your TV in the middle of the transition, which makes it difficult for me to guess the quality of the tuner.   Cellular interference to OTA TV is quite real, especially LTE in the 700MHz band. This might offer a few clues: "Out-of-Band Interference: Myth or Reality?" <https://www.tvtechnology.com/opinions/outofband-interference-myth-or-reality>   >If the interference starts up again what do I do?   You walk over to the neighbors and see if they are getting the same interference on the same channels. If yes, then find the owner of the nearby antenna farm and unload your frustrations on their public relations department.

If only your 2006 Sony has the problem, it might be time to get a better TV.   >Are there special filters for this sort of thing,   Yes, there are TV bandpass filters. However, few of these will work with unspecified multiple channels. It might be helpful if you would insert some numbers in your description.

Then find whomever owns the antenna farm and ask them whom to contact.

Not an ideal material for the purpose.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

It does not remove the gunk causing bad contact 2. It tends to short the resistance in use 3. It tends to create a short from track to case, which sometimes would be a problem.   It was sometimes used in the 1940s on pot tracks that had worn away, but that is not likely to be the problem, and certainly was not used by pouring powder in, and was at best a temporary bodge.     NT

Tim Schwartz <tim@bristolnj.com>: Feb 21 03:19PM -0500 Hello all,   A customer has an AR CD-04 with a bad display. This is a 4 digit green LED display on a small board that mounts to the front panel board.   While the machine is a Philips/Magnavox based player, I do not know what an equivalent model that might share the same display is.   Since I'd guess that many of these have been scrapped because of a defective CDM-2 mechanism, I'm hoping someone has saved a chassis that might have a good display or display board that they would be willing to sell me.   Gentlemen, please check you junk rooms!   Regards, Tim Schawrtz Bristol Electronics Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey

Look165 <look165@numericable.fr>: Feb 21 10:02PM +0100 Maybe the flat ribbon cable ; just shrten it at the end.   Tim Schwartz a écrit le 21/02/2019 à 21:19 :

Tim Schwartz <tim@bristolnj.com>: Feb 21 07:35PM -0500 Not possible to change the display to something else. This is a welded construction type with a 'blob chip' on the back of the board that interfaced to the microprocessor. Must be original type.   Thanks for the thought, Tim Bristol Electronics

There are a few on eBay but they're not cheap!   There is a design for a DIY retrofit which may or may not be suitable: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digital-source/259790-nsm4202a-led-display-module-replacement-philips-sony-cdm-transports.html   -- Adam

John-Del <ohger1s@gmail.com>: Feb 21 11:48AM -0800 > You really are a Maroon!   > Peter Wieck > Melrose Park, PA     Yeah, but the car was still the instrument in her death. She was trapped in the Oldsmobile and couldn't escape from it. If she was thrown clear of the Olds, she would have lived assuming she could swim, and assuming she would have "survived" being a witness to an incident that included a Kennedy and a woman not his wife..   Maroon is such a underappreciated hue..
