    Deskfan switch failure

    I'm not familiar with your Honeywell model, but I have a pedestal floor Honeywell model, and will submit this: My Honeywell is all computer controlled, with touch-activated switches. If yours is similar, you may be looking at a circuit board issue, and not just a switch fix. Additionally, I...

    TEAC stereo receiver won't turn on

    I'm curious about the fact that you say the transformer doesn't switch-on. Without a transformer output, you're spinning your wheels looking at the small components. What's the history on these TEACs? Could they be 120VAC units that were plugged into 240VAC during some ownership transfer between...

    Which speakers are best for home?

    I don't know where you're at, or what stores are available in your area. As Martaine2005 said, if it matters to you, the style and sound quality are individual taste options. I would go to a store that has a speaker display hooked-up to actually listen to a variety of speakers, and then choose...

    Switch for Intex pool pump circuit board!

    Vegetarians are not allowed to eat animal crackers due to native cultural appropriation issues. It offends the animals.

    And now something weird

    We in the colonies are having a hard time understanding people speaking on the BBC. Sometimes I wonder if I need closed-captioning to understand what some Brits are saying. A couple years ago I was trying to figure out why a guy from the UK kept talking about a problem with the bonnet on his...

    Pioneer SR60 Reverb not working properly

    You have an SR-9, which is different from mine. As Martaine2005 said, it sounds to me like your display has an issue. If it's intermittent, I'd suspect a bad connection and would reflow the solder contacts to it. As for the set-up, I'm unclear as to how you're using it. I run my reverb...

    Replacing PCB mounted transformer

    I would try to obtain the same transformer as the original, which you apparently couldn't find. I think some of us are a little hesitant to offer advice because we'd like to see any information printed on the original transformer. Then compare that to the replacement you bought. The transformer...

    Pioneer SR60 Reverb not working properly

    You've got an SR-9, not an SR-60. Your problem is most likely going to be the push-button contacts. I don't know how accessible they'll be from inside the chassis, but those pushbuttons are the ones that need to be sprayed-out with contact cleaner. Spray the insides of the switch from inside...

    Pioneer SR60 Reverb not working properly

    I own one of these. Spray-out the potentiometer while exercising it. As Martaine2005 advised, the selector switch contacts are probably the problem with your unit.

    Marantz SR 63 static noise on left channel

    Before taking it apart, recheck all of your input/output wires again. That's usually the problem, a bad connection, connector, or wire. I know you think the speakers and headphones having the same problem means you can skip that step, but don't I always try the simple first. Yeah, you probably...

    Mico soldering irons

    Nope, are you saying you have some of these, and they're antiques? Also, my 92 year-old mother would correct you on women soldering years ago. Her mother worked at Willow Run outside Detroit during WWII, and all they had were women solderers for the bombers they built. An interesting side-note...

    Power supply with current output

    As noted by Bluejets, what you want is commercially available, but they're pricey. Bluejets built one for low current, there may be plans available for your 0-5A needs. Mine is an old Hewlett/Packard Harrison 6203B but it wasn't cheap when I bought it years ago, and it'll only do 0-7.5V at...

    Help with prototype designing

    Yeah, you probably need a little more detail about what you want. It SOUNDS to me like MAYBE 'tension' isn't the word you're looking for here. If this is a simple detection circuit, I used to build simple water detection circuits using old CMOs 4001 & 4011s If you're just trying to detect a...

    Need a new multimeter - any thoughts

    They say you get what you pay for, but my experience is that unless you REQUIRE an expensive meter, and it sounds like you don't, you're wasting money on a big-brand name. Too many companies are all having their gear made in third world countries with no quality control. I have expensive...

    What music do you like?

    Yeah, Rap was invented by people who can't get rich singing or playing professional sports. Here are a few 'oldies' that I like that I never hear on the radio anymore: Nights in White Satin (Moody Blues) Lucky Man (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) turn the volume up and the organ riff will lift you out...

    Looking for help identifying an old Motorola transistor

    Being an old guy myself, and around in the good old days, I agree with 73's de Edd that those markings are proprietary, or 'house numbers', and the transistor is very likely not (NOT at all likely, in my opinion) to be 2N1959. The transistors were marked with a designation known only to whomever...
