TRW Preview 10/29/11

 

DX-100B

TBW transmitter fragment, from TRW swap 3/26/11

Move progress 1/24/10. Yep, theres even radios in the bathtub!

Junk in my garage.

This electrical line does NOT go through this "tree" anymore, it now runs parallel to the edge of the property = no interfering with my antenna!

I was doing so good getting rid of crap at the swap, the nooo, I had to buy a big ol transmitter. Fortunately girlfriend didn't kill me. Some sort of commercial VHF transmiiter, missing power supply and any sort of modulator. 5' light weight rack.

Modulator front... two inputs.

Soft, cuddly and huggable! Baby Blinkins are adorable, big eyed baby dolls with light-up floral antennaes and light-up bottoms. They light up at your touch - remove your hands and the light is gone."

 

"Let their love light shine!"

 

Blinkins were produced by LJN Toys in 1985-86. They were fairy-glowbug creatures who lived in Blinkin land who had small wings which lit up and glowed in rainbow colours when their bodies were squeezed. They each came with a pet or accessory and a butterfly comb.

 

Along with the small dolls Blinkins were large plush versions, playsets, accessories, books and videos.

These bug(gers) rarely stay still. Here's an exception : )

TBY transmitter.

$1 bc-348, front

Same pic with the flash on, thats how much rain was coming down!

Top of the input tuned circuit coils. The capacitors are fixed, the slug tuned inductor is tuned for max grid drive on the band of interest

Close-up of the 1N4001 diode for the 2V filament supply which removes around 1V from the pair of D cells

Combination of surplus and new parts. Anyone recognize the tank coil and RFC?
