But I want to build a lunar orbiter. Please post some schematics so I can get started. Oh, please provid a detailed parts list and describe what vacuum tubes would be best suited to the project. :bigok:

In my shop, a MUST HAVE tool is an air compressor. My Dewalt 15 Gallon compressor has been rattling my brain cells for far too long. Folks have taken many different paths to address the noise issue. I am very happy with the results of this project... I feel it reduces the noise level almost 50%...

I found this on the gas shutoff in the basement of an older home. I had to keep it.

It's a Predicta. A replica made in 2002. It has a modern RCA TV setup inside. It weighs about 6 million pounds. I have plans to set it up as a video jukebox in my shop along with a streaming audio/video setup. It fits in quite nicely on my Island of Misfit Toys...

My Aunt is 94 years old. I am constantly getting calls from her about her TV not working. It is always caused by her mistakenly turning off the cable box. I found the solution today!

I have an Akai GX-4000D Reel to Reel on the bench. It has all the original rubber inside. So.... You can assume that after 40 plus years, it's time for new rubber! I have located the capstan belt, the counter belt and the pinch roller. So far, I can't find the Spindle (Reel) Table Tires. The...

I have been looking at Desoldering Stations for a while now. I wasn't really interested in the cheap new ones, and the used ones I saw on eBay typically were too expensive or did not come with the heating element/Desoldering tool itself. Then, up pops the exact model Pace Desoldering station...

Wonder what’s wrong with this Infinity SSA-10 subwoofer? :p

Are there any AK members in the Rochester, NY area that can align an old SS Lafayette Am/Fm receiver? I have not achieved proficiency in alignment (nor the equipment) Thanks! Steve :D :rolleyes:

I know I'm pretty new here, but I really cringe when reading the posts about changing parts haphazardly and hoping it works. Not a purist: Some rational thought when troubleshooting would go a long way.. When you think it out, and actually troubleshoot the problem, it adds to the satisfaction...

Show us where you work your magic!
