    Distorted waveform on Triplett 3432-A sig gen

    I second that. Thanks for letting us know what you found. Good work on troubleshooting and repair.

    Musical Instrument Amps damaged by power surge or drop

    Somebody here may be looking for a schematic to try to assist you. Just wanted to input that the ceramic resistors you describe sound like wire-wound types. If they took a power hit, it's possible the wire inside 'open-circuited'. While you're in there with your multimeter, make sure the...

    Inductor number L2001 melt-down

    I can't. Did you try Googleing the schematic you want for free to see if anybody posted anything on it? The 'L' designator on the board tells you it's an inductor. But the ohmmeter diode-test function won't provide you the actual inductance value. If you can't find the inductor value from...

    Distorted waveform on Triplett 3432-A sig gen

    Good thing to check, possible corrosion on the wire ends maybe(?). Before I assumed there was a circuit problem (since it works good on the higher ranges), I'd be seriously looking at the connections; like the shielded cable, solder joints, flakey pots or variable caps. Hope this turns out to be...

    Distorted waveform on Triplett 3432-A sig gen

    We don't know what-all your 'restoration' process involved. The first thing I'd do is go back and recheck what you did to make sure all of your grounds are intact, that any parts you may have replaced are the correct material composition (like the resistor-type you use) and value, that your...

    Electronic trip wire / alarm

    Just for clarification, when you talk about a 'trip wire', you mean the beam itself, correct? Or is there some physical 'wire' you're talking about?

    4th July

    Seems like 'who's truth' anymore. I sit and watch the news with other guys who do not share my political views. We watch exactly the same report, and then I am amazed at what the other guys deduced from what we had just seen together. It seems like our prejudice about the topic is the basis for...

    4th July

    Kinda sounds like the media over here is feeding us some more lies. According to the media here I'm in the minority, but it's good to hear that most of your country wants to retain its historical roots as the United Kingdom, instead of being pigeon-holed as an oppressed minority group, as the...

    Well, if you ever do declare independence from the same guys we did, you'll get one of your own.

    Non Contact Tachometer

    What Harald Kapp said. The hand held unit you show produces an output signal, and also reads the reflected back-signal. I'm thinking when you talk about a 'sensor', you're wondering what your hand-held unit is counting(?) If that's what you mean by 'sensor', it is usually something on the shaft...

    Regarding Differential Signal...

    I'm not sure what it is exactly that you're asking. You DO realize, that you're talking about DIFFERENTIAL signals, don't you? Observing the 'differential' between signals.

    Shake Flashlights power

    ... why am I thinking this thread is eventually going to wind-up in our new 'twilight zone'? I also have seen articles and references considering this. I think it's a part of the human condition, you should know however, that you're not the first to imagine what you want to do. The interesting...

    Audio troubleshooting

    I'd check the grounding. Any grounds to the speaker housing, or possible short inside the tweeter?

    Induction Stove

    I was trying to figure that out too. Any I've worked on were necessarily AC. Are you using the right term for 'induction' stove, as in 'electrically inductive'? (not confusing it with types of heat: conduction, convection, radiant, .....) I'm just wondering. Is this some specialty type of...

    Toshiba TV/DVD

    If I bump one of my remotes or set it down hard, sometimes the batteries get dislodged. If you haven't already, open the battery compartment and (if they're good batteries), reseat them and see if it starts working again.

    Toshiba TV/DVD

    Or maybe the batteries in the remote need to be replaced?

    Subwoofer repair - RCA cable shorted in and out then it just stopped working.

    I'm not familiar with your woofer. This is what I'd do first: 1)Tha fios agaibh's advice to replace the cable (and consideration of cat diet) 2) Look for a fuse that might be blown in the woofer. A fuse would probably be there specifically to protect the woofer from fat cat attack. 3) I don't...

    Crimping pins on wire harness

    My idea is to go to the TE Connectivity website and use their 'contact us' feature to explain your issue and ask for their recommendation. Even if you don't buy a new machine from them, you'll know what to look for used.

    Strange Behaviour

    She's a robot, or maybe she's wearing a watch that causes this.
