Radically different color temperature between two TVs showing the same show

Only streaming on modern TV and one over the air on a CRT

The flat screen is very dull and dark, the very is vibrant and full

Oh good

It works

It had some pretty bad battery corrosion but it seemed pretty much all surface

Anyone wanna go in together on some 2n2553 germanium transistors?

If three of us do it, they'll only 13 each

Actually, I would have gone with

Drop something green 💚

Yeah if I'm reading the date code on those caps correctly they're 13th week of 2000
That or 00th week of 2013

The were due for a change anyway

Depends on how bad things get and how desperate they become

Also if they do arrest dissenters, rounding up able-bodied young adults motivated by common ideal and putting them together is a surefire way to get a rebellion started

I'm old enough to be outside draft age but for those who aren't, it's better to go to jail than die for Israel

And if they conscript people regardless, remember why fragging exists

Oh yeah

I also picked up a Tom Waits cassette yesterday

I wish. It would be fun if Weigal added Rocky and Bullwinkle. There's a bunch of stuff I wish they'd add

It was between this and Cult of Personality by Living Colour

A quick test before I put all twenty-fucking-one screws back in it

These apparently only range from about 9 volts to about 12 volts. Not just mine, it's kinda just how they're made. Allegedly for car radios

Alrighty

Fixed that weak solder joint and replaced the caps more to my liking

Had to break out the big soldering gun for this one

Welp

All evidence online suggests the Q2 transistor and in digging through my vintage ones I don't think I have one or am equivalent

Apparently called a stud mount, but it would that that's correct

That'll need fixed before I close it up

21 screws by the way, to get in to this thing

Only 35 volts so probably just a little tingle

So the inside is the battery eliminator

Just a pair of transformers and a switch

The person who replaced that call used a pair of 3300uf in place so I think I'm just going to change them out to a pair of 2200uf

Yeah I think the person who replaced it wanted to restuff the can but then broke it and said fuck it and just tacked in new ones

3000 microfarad capacitor

4000 microfarad capacitor

Huh yeah

I'm not too sure

The guy, who is way more versed than I, said he tested the transistors and they were good

All I'm not really sure other than electrolytics, which I'll change

In the infinite creativity of engineers, it's just called stud mount

It is a thing of beauty though
