Lots of gears, springs, and moving arms in this optical drive from a retired computer

This Kmart opened Halloween 1994 as a Super Kmart then in 2010 the deli, meat, and bakery sections were removed and became a normal Kmart

Taken out of an old Tektronix 442 oscilloscope I bought to repair for my electronics ventures and spotted a fuse holder in the back, where this was. It's unlike any fuse I've seen before.

 

Written on this is "250 VOLT" "BUSS MDL 3/10"

The 2007 Alpine demo car is “eXperience”. The name represents the concept of Alpine´s expertise in iPod connectivity and most speedy transmission.

Featuring 6 PDX amplifiers, 2 Type-X subwoofers, 9 Type-X speakers, The PXA-H701 and the iDA-X001 (plus a lot more!), this high-end demo car showcases just how fantastic Alpine´s “Type X” products are.

 

One of the main highlights is the centre position for the driver, to enjoy the music at it´s best. The “eXperience” shows an elegant and sleekl designed demo car.

 

It took the Alpine installers 2 ½ months to create such an amazing demo car.

This camera is new. It never had batteries in it, it still had the plastic protector in the film compartment. It is very pretty. Too bad the shutter won't fire. The meter flashes briefly once when the shutter button is pressed, but after that, nothing, unless I toggle the on-off switch again. Bummer. The two NIB lenses that came with it look decent, as does the flash, and the other accessories, so I'm sure that I got my money's worth, but this pretty camera is a heartbreaker.

PARTS

 

• 2 or 3 12-position rotary switches (or 10-position, whatever you can get)

• 2 pin or banana jacks (to match your test leads)

• resistor assortment from 5 ohms to 1M or greater; gold bands (5% tolerance) are better than silver bands (10% tolerance).

• project box

 

INSTRUCTIONS

 

1- Get a box and drill holes for mounting two or three 12-position rotary switches. Drill holes also for the two jacks.

 

2- Mount the switches and the jacks; label switch positions with corresponding resistor values.

 

3- Follow this diagram and solder resistors directly to the lugs of the rotary switches.

 

NOTE: If you solder the resistors so their unsoldered leads extend the opposite direction of the switch's shaft, these leads can be gathered together and soldered at once, connected to the bus wire terminating in point "A".

 

• The first switch would provide the lowest resistance, the next would provide mid-range resistors, and the final switch would be wired to the resistors with the greatest resistance.

 

• As seen, the 12th lug of the depicted switch connects to the next switch in the array. Naturally, the final switch in the array would have its 12th lug connected to the final resistor in the matrix.

 

PANEL

 

To mark the panel for the resistor values:

 

1- Turn the mounted switches to position "1" (doesn't matter at all how you orient the switches, just turn them to their lowest resistor settings).

 

2- Place knobs loosely on shafts and turn their pointers to wherever you want "1" (your lowest resistor value) to be located around the dial (near top or bottom of dial, usually).

 

3- Once all pointers are angled to this position, tighten their set screws to keep them in place.

 

4- With your marker, put dots where the pointers point as you click them all around their orbits.

 

5- Label these dots with the corresponding resistor values. Position "12" can be marked with an arrow pointing to the next switch.

 

USAGE

 

1- Set all rotary switches to "12" for starting position. This will provide the greatest resistance available (this is safest on the circuit). Plug your test leads in.

 

2- Begin turning the LAST dial downward and observe the response of the circuit (LED brightness, audio output, circuit clocking - whatever you're after).

 

3- When you get to position "1" on this switch, turn the next rotary switch to position "11" to continue the resistance decrease, and so on until you reach the resistance value desired.

 

4- Observe the resistance the dial is pointing to; grab another resistor of the same value, and your green LED will never again scare you with that ember-like, off-yellow, over-voltage, "Seeya in LED Halvala" glow.

Random camera PCB I've been thinking about recently... I got a lot of these cameras broken from ebay a while back - Have been planning to reuse the sensors (they're rather nice, ~8mp-ish I think), but need to do some detective / reverse engineering work. Not something I have time for in the very near future.

as seen at the local electronics recycling drop. I love the local electronics recycling drop!

Picked up an old (massive!) digital voltmeter through eBay. Love the edgelit displays in this, the digits are made up of dots etched on individual pieces of glass or acrylic and illuminated by light shone through the edge. The digits are stacked in front of each other and when you want a particular digit lit, you turn on the relevant light.

My solder joints are looking a lot better now that I have a good soldering iron (Weller 25W) and smaller solder (0.32mm versus 1mm).

No, this is not the Google Earth view of some city. It is a macro of a silicon wafer containing VLSI circuits. Each of those blocks is about a centimetre on each side and contains numerous transistors.

Thanks a lot to my friend in our university's VLSI lab for allowing me to take this photo.

Guts of the Studio Electronics Code

Project 158 Day 70.

Working on getting Project 158 back up to snuff and fiddling with adding Flickr and Facebook upload buttons to Picasa.

Macro of some 'old school' electronics, meaning pre-surface mounted devices and computer chips. Circuit board from an old battery backup emergency light.

Old radio made of bakelite. A Philco Transitone from 1948.

Lava lamp still works. Radio would take some repair, but I bet it could work too.

A gift from a Facebook friend. I'm so excited about this!

Poi operational.

Do you know how difficult it is to apply a logic probe to a circuit that has two modes: blinding blue light and blinding red light?

 

(WARNING: do not stare at project with one remaining eye)

Here's a sample on how bright those keyboard backlights can get. Sorry for the noise, I didn't have a tripod so I topped the ISO (1600)
