My parents had one of those systems installed on their rooftop. It worked great, better than I ever would have guessed. Alas, the collectors developed leaks after only a few years, and they were impossible to repair. The government essentially paid for most of it through tax breaks and energy conservation incentives.

Or, a complete clock? The gear case "rotor" should slip easily out from the laminations. All you need really do is find another coil/laminations unit, from another Telechron clock. Be aware that these came in a number of different sizes so you may need to buy a few old clocks before you find the right size. This part doesn't know or care that the clock hands mark off 24 hours vs 12 hours. The coil uses really fine wire internally. Look closely to see if you can find both ends of the coil that used to feed the terminals.

In lieu of being "sealed", boxes with tuck tabs will show wear on the tabs after being opened just once or twice, because they fit so tightly. If the box is relatively hard to open, it's probably never been opened before and the contents NOS. If the tab is loose and worn and the box won't stay shut, it's been opened before. Hard to see in an eBay picture though.

And that is the crux of the situation--keeping everything at the same potential relative to EACH other, and not necessarily ground. In theory, you could protect equipment at a remote mountain top site by using a common protection point for all of the arrestors for the power, antenna, and phone lines, with a relatively poor ground, and still provide total protection for the equipment (not necessarily the occupants...) While the equipment might become elevated during a strike relative to ground, the potential between the power, antenna and phone lines--and thus through the equipment-- will be minimized. The worst thing most hams do is providing a ground bar behind the gear for the soles means of protection--that only insures that ALL surge voltages on the antenna or power lines are forced through the equip- ment, maximizing damage. My main grounds are at the tower, and again at the house where a second array of ground rods are installed, along with arrestors for the antenna coaxes, and gas arrestor blocks for the rotator and control cables. Everything is bonded together, including buried chemical rods. I also have a secondary common grounding point at the station for a second set of arrestors for the power and antenna lines, and this is strictly to reduce any induced voltages that may develop after the first line of defense.

These have been used for years for remote broadcasts of radio stations. Years ago I personally used one to broadcast a church service over a local radio station -- just connect one to the sound system, the other to the radio mixing board, make the phone call, and you're set. The biggest problem with this was the limited fidelity -- with an equalizer to smooth things out, I was able to get around 50 to 3500 Hz flat, and with lower volume, up to about 3900 Hz. Believe it or not, with equalization and some filtering it didn't sound half bad on an FM station. It might barely be noticeable on AM. Of course they made other, more expensive phone patches, that MPX'd the audio such that you could pass a higher fidelity. Now I can't help but think you could do a laptop at each end and get CD quality using DSL.

Those are obviously ripped from commercial DVDs and have the original commercials excised. The shows there of primary interest to us (from the early days of televsion) are taken from VHS tapes that were converted from kinescope. Back in the day, these shows were usually sponsored by a single entity that normally got frequent plugs throughout the program, so it is usually essential that the commercials be left in to preserve program continuity. The OP mentioned the Frigidaire (colgate) comedy hour; that show almost certainly has the orginal commercials. I used to see these kinds of tapes fairly frequently in video store bargain bins (especially during Xmas when they would be sold as stocking stuffers), but most of those places have gone totally to DVD now so the vintage-show VHS tapes have pretty much dried up. I'm glad that people are posting these now, as they are a great complement to the OTR shows that have been available on usenet for some time. -Scott Article: 318041 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Scott W.

These were sold by the millions so it shouldn't be too hard to find one. It will have the same size laminate pile/coil assembly you need to wrap around your HQ-180's rotor assembly.

If you'd like a nicer patch, get something like: http://www.mfjenterprises.com/products.php?prodid=MFJ-624D a ham radio phone patch. Look around any hamfest and you can find old phone patches for sale, cheap. You can also use it to record conversations >from the phone to your computer's sound card mic jack.

To record, I like Total Recorder from: http://www.HighCriteria.com Total Recorder sits in between your computer and your sound card, like a proxy server. It will rip any audio from any source that uses the sound card. It also will compress them into MP3 files on-the-fly, even breaking streaming audio up into smaller files, automatically, at file limits you set. It has a scheduler, too, so you can record your favorite streaming audio or audio in source from the sound card direct to MP3 files (or wav or ogg or whatever you've got encoding codecs for) with its own clock. Even webpage audio specifically-designed to prevent recordings is no match for Total Recorder ($29 with free lifetime upgrades). -- Larry You know you've had a rough night when you wake up and you're outlined in chalk.

Otherwise, you need a small line transformer to connect the computer to the MICROPHONE circuit of the phone. Go to Circuit City or wherever and get a 600 to 600 or 100 or similar LINE transformer, and connect one side to your computer speaker out, and the other one connects to the microphone in your phone. You can either CUT one wire to the mic and connect these 2 ends to the 2 wires on one side of the transformer, to put the winding in series, or get a resistor and put it in series with the transformer and connect this across the microphone. A 1 meg pot as a resistor will serve to adjust the level, you can get a resistor to equal the pot and replace it or just leave the pot. Different phones will give different results. Do you have an old 'black dial phone'? That would be perfect! Don't connect the computer direct to the phone line - ringing voltage (130vac) or a nearby lightning strike will fry your computer.

The biigest hurdle is that since, in the case of at least yEnc, many if not most don't even follow the guidelines of the people who created it and this leads to great frustration and confusion...eventually to the common feeling that it must be the domain of people who puvey illegal downloads and child pornography... and ESPECIALLY if the headers are full of typographic gibberish that indicate Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic etc...or in Dutch, which right now only one or two of our regulars even know.

The first protection should be at the meter or service disconnect. Then the plug in MOV based protection adds more protection to individual items. Lightning has several ways to destroy things. Direct strike, induced current flow, or ground differential with multiple grounds. Take them one at a time. Make sure you have the proper protection at the meter. Inspect the ground wire. If there is a separate ground rod for the telephone or cable, bond them with solid 8 gauge or heavier wire. Weld the wire to the ground rods, or use NO-OX to prevent the wire and clamp from corroding. Add some plug in protection on sensitive devices, and as a last step, remember to inspect the system once in a while for any signs of corrosion or loose connections. > Here is the scenario again.

In the old days, each of our cable tv amplifier locations throughout town had its own individual 115v service. This was in the days before powering the equipment thru the actual cable lines. We used plain-jane "pellet protectors" which were available at the local supply house for about 10 bucks or less and mounted directly at the service entrance. I can only recall a couple of incidents of lightning damage in dozens of locations in the 6-7 years I was there. This was a mix of tube and solid-state gear with no other level of protection. And this was in Eastern NC which competes with Michael A's central Fla location for being one of the worst areas in the country for lightning. This was not a surge-prevention device by any means inasmuch as it was a lightning arrestor device. Cheap, effective and a good first level protection device. I understand that they are still being sold although consumers seem to prefer fancier devices full of solid-state gizmos which easily go belly up in the presence of lightning. > Then the plug in MOV based protection adds more protection to individual > items.

Ignoring the question of what steps /you/ can take, it seems the power company needs to get its act together. Why? Because if your outlets are sparking, even before the lightning strikes, doesn't that mean high voltages are being induced into the outside power lines? Shouldn't this cause the power company's breakers to trip (or some other protective system to take effect)? I'd definitely call your power company and demand some answers.

I forgot to add this part: In order to make our News service fair to all users, EarthLink does enforce download limits on its Usenet service. The limit is 5GB during the last 30 days. Please note that "Headers" and articles count towards the limit. Unlike other services, we do not set limits based on calendar months. If you were to download 5GB on January 29th, you would be considered over quota until 30 days from then, or February 28th. Users that have not downloaded 5GB are able to interact with the server without any limits, while users that exceed the 5GB quota in their last 30 days of usage are rate-limited, or throttled, to 64 kilobits per second. Please note that this does not affect dialup users in any way. So, it is a rolling limit, that when hit is reduced to 64 Kb per second. -- Former professional electron wrangler. Michael A.

Baudot. http://www.transbay.net/~enf/baudot/son-oeuvre.html The Baudot coding scheme allowed 32 total patterns. This was divided up as 26 letter characters (A-Z) and 26 numeric characters (0-9 and basic punctuation.) The remaining 6 characters were Space Bar, letters shift, figures shift, Line Feed, Carriage Return and NULL. Note: This made typing a mixture of letters and numbers complicated, as Q=1, W=2 and so forth. To send the text "Q1W2E3" you had to press the keys Q NUM 1 LTR W NUM 2 LTR E NUM 3 in sequence.

Bill K7NOM wrote: > > When the 5 level code (Baudot) was used the bits had different timing > and the bandwidth required changed over the duration of the 7 bits > ( start, 5 data & > stop). The Teletype corporation had an obscure timing relationship. A single start pulse, 5 data pulses and 1.5 width stop pulse. At the (nominal) speed of 60 words per minute, (45 baud) that worked out to 22 milliseconds for the other pulses and 34 for the stop pulse. The additional time was required due to the mechanical lag of the timing cams. > The Baud rate was (is) the rate for the highest band width > required. In the above example, assuming alternating 1's and 0's. A square wave of 44 milliseconds would be 45.45 cycles per second. The bandwidth required for that would nominally be at least 3 times as wide to effect a recognizable square wave. The mechanical teletype machines typically sampled the data every 22 milliseconds after an initial delay of 11 milliseconds on receipt of a start pulse. > On ASCII it is the same as the bit rate but other schemes > it could be different. > > Bill K7NOM Asynchronous ASCII is typically 1 start, 8 data and 1 stop bit. 9600 baud would have roughly 52 microseconds per data bit.

Comcast has a cap on total number of bytes downloaded in any one month of 30GB......or perhaps it's 100GB.....or maybe it's only 70GB. In fact, nobody who uses comcast knows what the cap is because comcast refuses to tell its subscribers what the cap is. However, if you exceed the untold cap, Comcast will completely cut off your broadband access for an entire year. This is not just usenet downloading we are talking about, but internet usage in its entirety. Now, 30GB (or whatever it is) seems like a lot, and it is, but the fact remains that Comcast has a limit, and they won't tell their customers what that limit is-and internet users are not in the business of counting bytes......It is simply impossible to do a complete evaluation of the competitiveness of Comcast's broadband service if they are not upfront about the limit. It is for that reason that I refuse to recommend comcast as broadband solution to anyone. BTW, 30GB is the equivalent of as little as 15 one-hour television programs downloaded from the group Larry mentions in his post. If that group really got active with some interesting OTT stuff posted on a daily basis, I could probably exceed that amount if I wished. I am on DSL though, so there is no such cap I need worry about. -Scott Article: 318105 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: " Uncle Peter" Subject: CA-4 or CA-5 for Hickok 800?

Basically the Navy was in charge of radio standards in those days. "Recommendations for changes in organization of the Radio Service were made in the supplementary report of a board on organization of the Radio Service ordered by the Secretary of the Navy in his letter 624-109 of May 1, 1916. In general, it was recommended that the office of the Superintendent of Radio Service be changed to the office of Director Naval Communications, and that the name "Naval Radio Service," be changed to "Naval Communication Service;" that the Director Naval Communications be charged with the duties now performed by the Superintendent of Radio Service; and, in addition, be responsible for the efficient handling of all telegraph, telephone, cable, and, generally, all dispatch work between the Navy Department and the fleet and throughout the naval service outside the fleet. In the administration of the foregoing, that he have general charge of the operation, organization, and administration of the Communication Service. The following general organization was recommended for the administration of the Communication Service: 1. Director naval communications. 2. Assistant for administration and Atlantic coast superintendent. 3. Assistant for communications and four communication officers. 4. Pacific coast superintendent. 5. Philippine communication superintendent. 6. Assistant for commercial traffic. 7. A communication superintendent for each district. The board further recommended that the office of the director be established in the Navy Department as soon as space could be made available. This is considered of great importance. The above report is of a confidential nature and the details of the organization are not set forth herein."

In the 1980s, Beta-max was the format of choice in Colombia. VHS was also available but not as popular. I remember noticing this in 1986 when I was living down there for a bit (I was 11).

First off, is the radio SUPPOSED to tune above 1500? Many early sets did not. Is it a superhet or trf? If its a superhet you'll not only need to move the osc but you'll need to move the rf section as well. Say goodbye to the tracking. If its a TRF then you'll likely have more than one stage that needs the 'bizness'. Maybe you could build a converter for it :) GL, Bill Article: 318166 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: _@_._ Subject: Re: thanks, George!

Cardamom and a touch of a couple regional cinnamons, and some options for people who like their coffee this way or that. A couple people who tried it made contorted faces and complained of extreme bitterness, begging massive quantities of some sugar syrup I'd prepared. I obliged, eager to please. However, this freaked me out a bit because the roast I used was not bitter at all. I'm convinced some people mean by bitter, "not laden with a huge dose of sugar." I find this sad in a way, but I don't want to be a condescending bastard either. If I can make people happy by offering lotsa sugar, so be it.

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists," the president of the United States warned. "If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." The secretary of state loyally followed this hard line, defending the U.N. sanctions on Saddam Hussein: "There has never been an embargo against food and medicine. It's just that Hussein has just not chosen to spend his money on that. Instead, he has chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." Leveraging U.N. resolutions to support military action, the secretary of defense said: "The United Nations has determined that Saddam should not possess chemical or biological or nuclear weapons, and what we have is the obligation to carry out the U.N. declaration." The officials argued that U.N. inspections weren't enough. "It is ineffectual; it is not able to do its job by its own judgment," the president's national security adviser said of the U.N. inspections regime. "It doesn't provide much deterrence against WMD activity." The president's congressional loyalists stood behind him. "Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass destruction," said a prominent senator, sounding a familiar theme, "but it is the only nation with a leader who has used them against his own people." "For the United States and Britain, an Iraq equipped with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons under the leadership of Saddam Hussein is a threat that almost goes without description," said another hawk, taking aim at the split in the international community. "France, on the other hand, has long established economic and political relationships within the Arab world, and has had a different approach." Who were the political leaders who, according to critics of the Iraq war, perpetrated this fraud on the American people by making overblown warnings about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction? Respectively, President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Defense Secretary William Cohen, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Sen. Tom Daschle and Sen. John Kerry. They were all speaking in the late 1990s when Clinton bombed Iraq to "degrade" an Iraqi WMD capacity that we are supposed to believe disappeared in the inspection-free years that ensued, only to be resurrected as a false justification for war by the Bush administration. Or these lies? "[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." -- From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, & John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998 "This December will mark three years since United Nations inspectors last visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to refine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer- range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." -- From a December 6, 2001 letter signed by Bob Graham, Joe Lieberman, Harold Ford, & Tom Lantos among others "Whereas Iraq has consistently breached its cease-fire agreement between Iraq and the United States, entered into on March 3, 1991, by failing to dismantle its weapons of mass destruction program, and refusing to permit monitoring and verification by United Nations inspections; Whereas Iraq has developed weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological capabilities, and has made positive progress toward developing nuclear weapons capabilities" -- From a joint resolution submitted by Tom Harkin and Arlen Specter on July 18, 2002 "Saddam's goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed." -- Madeline Albright, 1998 "(Saddam) will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some day, some way, I am certain he will use that arsenal again, as he has 10 times since 1983" -- National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Feb 18, 1998 "Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement." -- Barbara Boxer, November 8, 2002 "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet achieved nuclear capability." -- Robert Byrd, October 2002 "There's no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat... Yes, he has chemical and biological weapons. He's had those for a long time. But the United States right now is on a very much different defensive posture than we were before September 11th of 2001... He is, as far as we know, actively pursuing nuclear capabilities, though he doesn't have nuclear warheads yet. If he were to acquire nuclear weapons, I think our friends in the region would face greatly increased risks as would we." -- Wesley Clark on September 26, 2002 "What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad's regime did use such weapons in the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has continued armament programs." -- Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002 "The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." -- Bill Clinton in 1998 "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002 "I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out." -- Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen in April of 2003 "Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass destruction, but it is the only nation with a leader who has used them against his own people." -- Tom Daschle in 1998 "Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002 "The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002 "I share the administration's goals in dealing with Iraq and its weapons of mass destruction." -- Dick Gephardt in September of 2002 "Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, 2002 "We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." -- Bob Graham, December 2002 "Saddam Hussein is not the only deranged dictator who is willing to deprive his people in order to acquire weapons of mass destruction." -- Jim Jeffords, October 8, 2002 "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Ted Kennedy, September 27, 2002 "There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed." -- Ted Kennedy, Sept 27, 2002 "I will be voting to give the president of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." -- John F. Kerry, Oct 2002 "The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation." -- John Kerry, October 9, 2002 "(W)e need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. ...And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War." -- John Kerry, Jan 23, 2003 "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandates of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." -- Carl Levin, Sept 19, 2002 "Every day Saddam remains in power with chemical weapons, biological weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons is a day of danger for the United States." -- Joe Lieberman, August, 2002 "Over the years, Iraq has worked to develop nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. During 1991 - 1994, despite Iraq's denials, U.N. inspectors discovered and dismantled a large network of nuclear facilities that Iraq was using to develop nuclear weapons. Various reports indicate that Iraq is still actively pursuing nuclear weapons capability. There is no reason to think otherwise. Beyond nuclear weapons, Iraq has actively pursued biological and chemical weapons.U.N. inspectors have said that Iraq's claims about biological weapons is neither credible nor verifiable. In 1986, Iraq used chemical weapons against Iran, and later, against its own Kurdish population. While weapons inspections have been successful in the past, there have been no inspections since the end of 1998. There can be no doubt that Iraq has continued to pursue its goal of obtaining weapons of mass destruction." -- Patty Murray, October 9, 2002 "As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." -- Nancy Pelosi, December 16, 1998 "Even today, Iraq is not nearly disarmed. Based on highly credible intelligence, UNSCOM [the U.N. weapons inspectors] suspects that Iraq still has biological agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin, and clostridium perfringens in sufficient quantity to fill several dozen bombs and ballistic missile warheads, as well as the means to continue manufacturing these deadly agents. Iraq probably retains several tons of the highly toxic VX substance, as well as sarin nerve gas and mustard gas. This agent is stored in artillery shells, bombs, and ballistic missile warheads. And Iraq retains significant dual-use industrial infrastructure that can be used to rapidly reconstitute large-scale chemical weapons production." -- Ex-Un Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter in 1998 "There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years. And that may happen sooner if he can obtain access to enriched uranium from foreign sources -- something that is not that difficult in the current world. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." -- John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002 "Saddam’s existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose a very real threat to America, now. Saddam has used chemical weapons before, both against Iraq’s enemies and against his own people. He is working to develop delivery systems like missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that could bring these deadly weapons against U.S. forces and U.S. facilities in the Middle East." -- John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002 "Whether one agrees or disagrees with the Administration’s policy towards Iraq, I don’t think there can be any question about Saddam’s conduct. He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do. He lies and cheats; he snubs the mandate and authority of international weapons inspectors; and he games the system to keep buying time against enforcement of the just and legitimate demands of the United Nations, the Security Council, the United States and our allies. Those are simply the facts." -- Henry Waxman, Oct 10, 2002 >The blood of a half million Iraqi children is on your hands, >Gunner. Really? Which half million are those?

Either way, the venue is profiting by taking the listing. Why do you think one is okay (fee), while the other (percentage) is not? By accepting the terms of the User Agreement in order to join eBay, you have acknowledged that they are only the venue, and are not parties which are in control of the transactions between individual members. And how do you propose you could sue eBay itself for the fraud perpetrated by an individual user? Ebay itself did not commit the fraud. Fraud requires an intent to deprive someone of money, property, or rights by dishonest means. To be a partner in that sort of fraud would involve collusion between the user and eBay. I understand a lot of people don't like eBay, but eBay is not the evil itself. The corrupt users, the scammers, thieves, and lousy packers are the guilty parties There is no way ebay could control all aspects of every transaction. At best we can all agree that eBay could do more to make their site less risky, but holding eBay legally responsible for actions of others that eBay has no legal control over is idealistic. jim menning Article: 318241 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: G Henslee Subject: Re: thanks, George!

You stepped WAY over the line this time. This childish behavior is going to backfire on you. Do you even know what damage you have already done to the three women who work there with your threats? The woman who answered the phone is on the verge of a mental breakdown. She was abused her whole life, yet you take it upon yourself to harass and threaten someone you have never met, just because they are kind enough to let people drop off used computers in a safe, public environment.

The last SONY product I bought was a Walkman from Target Dept. Stores back in January 2005. This weekend I put it through its paces fully by taking it on its second road trip. Sure enough, my suspicions were confirmed: The tuner drifts on MW (the dial is too tight apparently) and is pretty deaf, except on local stations. The sound is horrendous. Very boomy and muddy, even with the Mega Bass control turned off. At least the tape player part is fine. Country of origin? China. When Sony was making their AM/FM cassette Walkmans in Malaysia, they had much better sound and the tuners were pretty hot on MW. I'm lucky I have two of their older units.

A major contributor to the demise of Beta was Sony's refusal to license the Beta technology as freely as was VHS. They were aiming for market dominance and failed. Sony also declined to allow the adult entertainment industry to use Beta, so VHS quickly became the de facto standard.

I had one of these back in the 50s, and seeing these pics is a real deja v=FC. What i remember of it, the interconnect cable that connects from that big honkin' outboard power supply is full of rubber insulation that had totally dried out and crumbled when touched (and that was 50 years ago). So you gotta handle that cable very gingerly and avoid flexing it. If you run the power supply with that cable disconnected, there's no bleeder to discharge the filters, and they'll hold about 400V waiting to bite you. They're paper (not electrolytic). = Also the speaker had very little compliance in the cone, resulting in poor bass response. I dunno if that stiff cone was a defect or it it was purpose-made that way. Not sure on this, but IIRC, the tuning range only went up to 1500 kc (or was it 1200?).

Knowingingly dealing with a criminal is far different from merely being a conduit for advertising. I don't see eBay or my local newspaper conspiring with known criminals with the intent to defraud the public. And I don't know whether or not you have been paying attention, but eBay works hand-in-hand with any/all law enforcement agencies to help cleanse their site of the people doing illegal trade therein. There have been many positive changes at eBay & PayPal over the last couple of years to make both safer to use. > > eBay is doing a major song-and-dance to avoid this. My opinion is they are getting much more responsive at shutting down questionable auctions once informed properly by their users.

They're too stupid to work at all. Disclaimer: I don't see a huge overall conspiracy, such as the "new world order" type thing. I see it more as an end result of incompetence at all levels.

Nothing else seems to work with you. You've never learned to behave here, is it so surprising to you that people who once tolerated you are now getting fed up with you? Even those who you previously idolized have turned against you. When are you going to realize that if the whole world has a problem with you, it probably really is YOU that is the problem? Trying to ignore you here hasn't worked, you keep going through different loony cycles all the time. You do everything you can to undermine this group in an attempt to fit in in your own peculiar way. Guess what? It hasn't worked. You can't fit in. You have intelligence, but absolutely no fucking common sense or social skills. You are a waste of everyone's time here. The sooner someone finally gets you to understand that you don't fit in here, the better. I'm tired of people sticking up for you all the time saying "let's forgive Steven, he is fucked up in the head and he can't help it". Yes you can help it. Leave this group alone, and find some other group to menace for a while. Or better yet, stay on your medications, seek professional help, and shelter yourself until you are really in control of that meandering mind of yours. If you ever get mentally healthy, and you want to participate rationally in this group, come on back. But until then please stay away. You are nothing but a cancer to this group. Please take this and the other constructive suggestions from this group to your next meeting with your health care professionals. Show them that by not properly treating you, you've become an annoying pest to society. Beg them for more serious evaluations of your illness, and demand the help you obviously need. And if you are not willing to try to help yourself, then take the other piece of advice I gave you earlier. Do away with yourself, and give the rest of the world a break. jim menning Article: 318286 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: David Stinson Subject: Re: This stops right now, Steven Dinius.

Making threatening phone calls to "The Real World" (as opposed to the "Net-iverse") is a sure sign of serious shorts between the earphones. I've had that done to me, too. There's a guy on one of the other groups who does that. He's one of those real "danger zone" head cases, because he seems about half "normal," until someone throws his breakers. Then he goes way over the line. He's the sort of guy whose neighbors tell the reporters: "He seemed so normal until yesterday," when he climbed up on a tall building with a scoped rifle. Best to just stop messing with such people and let them go make a "project" of someone else. I don't know if "Skippy" is at that level; I haven't been following him closely. But if you think that's possible, it's better to just leave him alone and go on. Guys like the one I mentioned start out with phone calls to wives and employers. Then, one day they strip a mental gear, drive to your town and "go postal." Sometimes it's best to leave the nutballs to their mutterings. D.S.

How wrong I must have been. It appears that any semblance of intelligence on your part was as fleeting as your sanity.

Lots of it is "contract" products from China and other countries. But I have a beautiful ultra-slim Walkman CD player with a great digital FM tuner built into the remote control.

In reality it is a laughable load of crap. There are 2 to 4 million items on ebay at any given time. Do you honestly think that eBay has the manpower to do any kind of serious dispute resolution for all the negatives? Here is the way it's gonna work from this point forward: Neutrals will become the new negatives. Whenever a user wishes to leave a negative without going through eBay's B.S. "dispute resolution system", that user will simply leave a neutral with all the derogatory comments one normally associates with an outright negative. Experienced ebay users will then learn to mentally subtract the neutrals from the user's feedback score to get a "real" positive feedback score and percentage. Negatives will only be used in cases where a rip-off is so blatant that the participants are willing to go to the mat to leave/avoid a negative. After a few months, eBay will begin to notice the incredibly derogatory neutrals, and try to micro-manage the whole thing away by instituting a policy prohibiting "Negative feedback dispute resolution avoidance" or some other such nonsense. From that point on, we will essentially have to ask permission to call a spade a spade, and the feedback system will become meaningless. Ebay has become an expensive, bloated, arrogant, bureaucratic mess. I used to buy dozens of items a year through ebay, but I have pretty much thrown in the towel on them for anything good or cheap, and now only buy a couple of things a year from eBay sellers, if even that. I have been using eBay since 1997. In all that time I have left a grand total of maybe 5 negatives. When someone gets a negative from me, they absolutely deserve it.....If eBay ever neutralizes a negative I have left for any reason, It will be the last time I use eBay for anything, ever. -Scott Article: 318305 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: David Stinson Subject: Re: OT: Outsourcing of labor from the USA.

We cannot even begin to tell the truth about why they're having trouble with certain groups of people. Get even close to saying the truth and the tar and feathers come out. Heaven forbid we tell the truth- better to continue pretending and, thereby, doom people to failure. We built an "education" system to serve cookie-cutter, identically gifted people- people who don't exist- because God no; we can't possibly value physical and spiritual talent on par with logic and problem solving. And we wonder why they fail. They fail because we're forcing them into a mold that does not fit and judging them by invalid standards. We're asking a sunflower to be a petunia, and who's the fool for doing that? In the name of "equality," we've tried to wrap the people around the system, instead of wrapping the system around the people. Our problem is that we place the wrong values on the wrong things and we charge our attitudes and speech with it. We have decided that "higher IQ" and "higher education" is always "better," and that's just not so. Until we stop pretending that everyone is exactly the same in every way, we will not grasp the true meaning and power of "diversity." Each brings his own gifts- necessary and needed gifts- to the table. *ALL* of them are of value and *ALL* are needed to make the world work. Until we stop valuing the intellectual higher than the worker, the system will remain broken. Without the contribution of the workers, all the intellectual musings and mutterings are just useless wind. The engineer cannot build the bridge if he's down sick because the janitor neglected his job. The janitor is thus, just as valuable and his contribution counts just as much as the engineer's. Our society labels one "better" than the other, and that is the core of the problem. D.S.

I use a heat gun (hair dryer might do it, too) and just play it over the pot for awhile. If you can do it outside, you don't even have to kill the smoke detectors. ;>) I saved the tar from the project I had and used it to repot the new parts, with a little air space for the new (much smaller) caps. Others on the n.g. can chip in here... but if you're using electrolytics as replacements, it may be advisable with a TRF to also put a small (like .01 mfd) cap in parallel with each new cap, because of the inductance in the electrolytics. ....have I got that right, gang?

"TV Production" class. We had a pair of 1/2" reel to reel tape machines. Ampex I think. My first VCR was a Magnavox top loader VHS that I found in the trash and replaced the drive belts on. I think the first tape I acquired was boot leg copy of Fantasia. Jeff -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

In Alabama, >trainers had to use "pictorials" to teach some illiterate workers how to >use high-tech plant equipment." Nissan and Honda are essentially getting what they paid for...... Mississsippi has one of the highest illiteracy rates in the western world, and is fairly spartan as far as population density goes. Nissan built a plant there and is apparently having trouble finding nearby workers who can read directions well enough to follow procedures. Should this really be a surprise to them? Certain parts of 'bama are much the same way, yet Honda built their plant there....and is having some troubles getting up to speed as well. Hmmmmm...... The decisions to site these plants in these places were probably made because they were able to get a good incentive package from the governments of those states, and the areas in question had lots of cheap land and cheap labor. Well, there's a reason why that labor is so cheap-It just ain't of the highest caliber. (One wonders how a person who cannot read or write can even get in the door at an auto plant. Granted, you don't have to be an intellectual colossus to put cars together, but you still have to be able to read to follow directions. A person who cannot is not only underqualified, but may actually be dangerous in a heavy-industrial environment like that.) It should be noted that Nissan and Honda have previously built plants in Tennesee and Ohio, and Toyota has plants in operation in Kentucky and California. By all accounts those facilities have been very successful, so the problem is not the education level of the country as a whole, but in the pockets where the most current facilities were sited. Methinks you can either pay up front, and spend somewhat more to place your businesses in areas where education is truly valued and supported by the surrounding communities, or pay a lot on the back end of the process devising ways of getting your poorly educated workers to understand your processes. There is no free lunch! I am surprised no one has commented yet on this sentence in the article Jeff linked to: "In addition to lower training costs, Canadian workers are also $4 to $5 cheaper to employ partly thanks to the taxpayer-funded health-care system in Canada, said federal Industry Minister David Emmerson. "Most people don't think of our health-care system as being a competitive advantage," he said." Once again, our nasty and expensive health-care system bites us in the ass. I'm not a big proponent of government-sponsored health care, but when the current system adds $1800.00 to the cost of a GM-built car (as was revealed a couple of weeks ago), and there's 100,000 cars a year that won't be built here partly because of it, the system is way broken. -Scott Article: 318335 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: " Uncle Peter" References: Subject: Re: OT: Outsourcing of labor from the USA.

No argument there, but the ability to read and write is such a core skill that everyone regardless of gift or purpose needs it, or they will face a perilous journey through life otherwise. My mom worked as a volunteer teaching illiterate persons to read. Believe me, illiteracy has no boundaries of race, class, or intellegence, and the self-stigma and embarassment is huge. Most of the people my mom worked with were pretty bright-one was a successful businessman who was able to conceal his problem from everyone, including his own wife. (He finally came forward because he did not understand most of the documents and agreements he was being asked to sign in the normal course of his business). Most of these people were brought up in foster homes, or homes where the parents were themselves illiterate. It seems that an environment where literacy is not valued or practiced breeds more of the same. Perhaps the solution is to educate the parents as well as the kids. -Scott Article: 318338 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: Randy or Sherry Guttery Subject: Re: OT: Outsourcing of labor from the USA.

Let's see: Stennis Space Center where 30+ tenants - from civilian to NASA and the Military design, test and and certify things that have no technological equal - like the Space Shuttle's main engines. The US Navy does some of their foremost acoustical research there. And on and on. Peavey Electronics - Largest Musical Sound Company in the world, Headquartered (and most production plants): Meridian, MS (right out my back door). Lockheed: A goodly part of several aircraft they make - are made and assembled in: Meridian, MS. Raytheon: Several of the most sophisticated RADAR systems in the world are made by Raytheon; many at their Forest, MS plant. Litton Industries - designs, builds and repairs craft from simple boats to huge military ships - including repairing the USS COLE. Roughly half of all Carrier Based Jet Strike Pilots trained in the US are trained at Naval Air Station, Meridian, MS. Do some research - see where ALL National Geographic Magazines are printed - which have to meet the NG's high standards... Here's a hint: "The two gravure presses there are 157 feet long—about the width of a football field—and each weighs 390 tons. Three offset presses are 110 feet long, and each weighs 86 tons." I guarantee they ain't in YOUR state; and aren't YOUR people running those presses. I could go on and on - but unless you're more stupid than you look (from your posting) - you've gotten the idea by now. > The Honda folks are talking about the region of the poor (Black) > south, one of the many different USAs within the USA.

In fact - were it true - then why did Nissan recently expand it's truck plant just north of Jackson to expand it from 250,000 trucks a year to 400,000 trucks and cars (including the upscale Altima)? Sounds like to me there is no shortage of *skilled* workers. Not to mention Nissan and the State of Mississippi built a large training facility to train workers in the "Nissan" way of doing things- so even the dummies here seem to be "trainable". Sure - there are still areas of Mississippi that aren't benefiting, and still very poor - but you want to brag about the slums of Detroit, New Jersey, New York or Los Angeles? Most of those have larger "slum, poor, etc." populations than the ENTIRE population of Mississippi... Sure brag away! Sheesh, what crap!

Is it possible that legally charging the fees (either CC or Paypal) back to the buyer varies from state to state? It "appears" to be allowed in the UK - in fact some sellers brag that they do not surchase PayPal users.

I do see it all the time Peter, I never claimed this isn't occurring on a regular basis on eBay. You want good examples, look at all the high end Canon camera listings or the plasma TV sets. 0 feedback sellers, 1-day and 3-day auctions, email off eBay for approval to bid, payment by WU only. There are a lot of these popping up. They often get shut down, and reappear the next day under a different ID. But eBay is not a police force, judge, jury, prosecutor, etc. The only things they can do is shut down the listings, suspend the users, and turn the info over to the authorities. But when the sign up information is also fake, how are they going to know that when the next one pops up it may be the same person involved? If you read the community boards and the Usenet groups dealing with eBay, you can see a lot of progress being made. We've seen many auctions removed within hours of being listed. They are getting better, but still have a long way to go. My contention was that eBay is not a direct partner in the fraud, and eBay has much to gain by cleaning up this mess, and they are making progress in that direction. The bad guys are indeed working the system, and eBay can only play catch-up trying to keep up with them. The fact that they can return to the bay with just a new email address is the biggest security flaw exhibited by eBay. That's what I meant when I stated that eBay could indeed make things less risky. There are probably a lot of valid reasons for them to not require more substantial proof of identity at this time, but sooner or later I believe they will have to. jim menning Article: 318376 of rec.antiques.radio+phono Subject: Re: OK all aboard for LANSING!

Do they seem 21.4 Mhz below the dial reading? Does it also receive the local airport frequency in the right place, too? This is a crappy single-conversion receiver. The 100KW FM stations will swamp the hell out of it if you put a proper VHF whip antenna on it to hear the planes.

Somewhere in the user agreement with the card company (and I imagine PayPal too) it always says you can't add on the fees as an additional surcharge. We could argue till the cows come home whether or not 2.9% is a reasonable fee for the service provided and if that service really results in more bids or higher final sale prices. I'm not prepared to make that argument based on facts but I think most people who cruise ebay get the feeling that accepting PayPal does enhance sales - or rather, not accepting PP discourages sales. That may not be due to PayPal alone - it may also have something with the type of people who turn their auction listings into personal rant pages about I DON'T do this, I DON'T do that, and YOU must play by MY rules, etc and have other caveats that consequently discourage potential buyers. If a seller doesn't accept PayPal then I in return have to consider MY costs and convenience of getting payment to him. Fair enough. The knife cuts both ways. I'd think one as a seller would want to accomodate potential buyers rather than prohibiting what has become a common payment option nowadays. It sends the wrong message. -Bill Article: 318391 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "xrongor" Subject: Re: Passing on PayPal Fees?

Some items types just seem to attract people of questionable character like flies to a manure pile. I've never had any problems with old radio sellers. Maybe I'm just lucky. Did your reserve inquisitor really "demand" to know, or just ask? I ask sometimes, just to see if the seller is even in my ballpark. If they don't answer or won't reveal it I don't mind, but if they do and it's out of bounds then I don't have to waste my time watching the item. I see no issue with asking politely...... And let's not start the sniping argument again. Done to death already, no need to rehash. Regards, Paul wrote in message news:1120706401.729365.93110@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > David Stin
