    What are these ??

    Are you? That's great! Anyways, I know you guys can't read the part numbers. I was hoping the collection would ring a bell with someone. I googled the number written on the "relays" and nothing came up. I can post the part number if you guys want though. Also, I know that one is a fuse. Thought...

    What are these ??

    Oh particularly those 2 items in the top left. Those are the same item. They seem like some sort of relay. There are moving parts and and metal leads just aaaalmost in touching contacts.

    What are these?

    Sorry, I didn't notice there were more replies. Yes, I tried flopping polarity. And yes I forgot to take into account the LED in my V=IR. I'm pretty sure I didn't blow the LEDs. Maybe they were all blown along with the stereo? Bottom line is that these PROBABLY LEDs sit in with the rest of my...

    What are these ??

    I found these all together in a drawer in the basement where I work. What are these items and what can they do together?

    See, this is why I got a B in circuits.... brown black red, that's a 1kΩ resistor, sir. and I measured the battery voltage to be 7.68V so can I change my quiz real quick? I=7.68/1000=0.00768A, couldn't have blown them. Plus you usually see black burns in a blown LED right at the juncture of...

    What are these?

    Well you know what, who knows maybe I blew them. unforch, I bought a multimeter that's just a dual meter; it only measure voltage and resistance, so I guess we could calculate it. I used the same thing I test all LEDs with cause it never burned out any other LEDs. I used a 9v battery plus a 100...

    What are these?

    It's hard to tell but those 2 metal prongs inside our mystery part are incased in a small rectangle of clear plastic. Looking at the PCB, I noticed that there is holes on the back side, possibly for some form of light to get through? Either visible or not. Having blown more than my share of...

    What are these?

    ok I'll try that but one of them was found way inside the stereo where I don't think it could recieve anything or get a signal out. But I'll try your thing... Edit: No, I couldn't notice anything with my phone camera when I hastily tried powering those LEDs from 3v up to about 12... maybe the...

    What are these?

    err.... then I found another one on the main PCB (car sterio) and the board where its attached is labeled "LED1" sooooo.... what the heck... I tried every voltage known to man (starting at 1v, I didn't blow them)...

    What are these?

    What are these? Google doesn't know from the label. They aren't LEDs (or they're blown). Thought maybe photo sensors? Can't detect voltage in the 0-20V range ..... what the heck??

    Fuse length and you! For your health!

    Right on! Again I wanna thank this forum's members for being my go-to for anything electrical. If not for you guys, I most surely would have died from electrocution by now.

    Fuse length and you! For your health!

    Ok so this isn't a stupid question because it's not going un-asked. Can I use this fuse? Its electrical values are exactly the same as the one I pulled out (250v 500mA time delay). Could I attach a wire from one end of the fuse to the contact? What would be the dangers if I did this? It's a 120v...

    How to: power this old ringer?

    Also, a barely working 12v electric motor works GREAT on 24v

    How to: power this old ringer?

    Oh BTW, update: The ringer worked (overtime) on 120v from the wall. I turned the ringer down as low as it could go... It didn't care about polarity, just shove a + and - wire in there somewhere. No, that's not a pot I'm using as an on switch, just on/off. Note the nostalgia production is through...

    How to: power this old ringer?

    ok I see what you're saying. I need to connect a bunch of resistors in series and plug them into my outlet so I can get 75V. Just jam em in there, right?

    And I make it ring by..... lol jk so its that outdated huh. well thanks guys

    How to: power this old ringer?

    I would imagine those yellow wires come out would be the only way to activate that coil. Here are 3 pics. All with the metal part of the bell taken off. One showing the topside of the bell mechanism, one showing the bottom of the bell mechanism and s close up if that switch. the switch has 4...

    How to: power this old ringer?

    Give it power through the 2 yellow wired coming out of the bell itself? May I assume that the wire on the switch is negative? Well, I tried giving it 9V, no ring... something to do with... the phone signal?

    How to: power this old ringer?

    For some reason, I kept getting an error when trying to upload a pic to the forum Because it was WAY too big, you need to resize before uploading to a max of 1024 x 768 and preferably smaller 800x600 here is the pic, now inline [Mod Edit added pic and comment]
