    Resistance and Inductance

    They didn't RS have 2 9k's, but I got a pack of 22k's, from what you told me, I can lessen resistance by placing resistors in parallel, where say .04 ohm motor will stop at .04 ohms of resistance! yeah I did that! Same process but in series, with less math! I wonder if that same motor will...

    Resistance and Inductance

    If say RS was out of 18k resistors and you couldn't find one in your shop... could you make 18k out of a 22k resistor and an induction coil?

    Restoring a Regal Do-Wa-Diddy by fOXX

    All the grounds are good. All the connections are proper. I posted a pic of the 9v input. I tested my work, and it wahs a little! But when It is in the bypass mode it is hardly audible... can't hear the instrument in bypass. Thanks for all yor help! I think it is working as good as it ever will!

    The Pin E stake is connected to the dedicated input ground. The 5 way switch is open on the fifth (5th position) CCW This image shows the 9v input Jack as having a dedicated ground as a large black wire sticking out of the side of the jack, a 9v negative as the white wire in the center, and a...

    Nothing new... Foreign countries have been doing this to US citizens for about 75 years... and they have petitioned the government to do something about it... as for your problem... Build an aircraft aluminum framed generator with an internal stator, and use some capacitors like spark plugs...

    most of the guys in here think I'm a loon so you don't have to take anything I say seriously.... your little cree bulbs specs are 1500ma.... correct me if I'm wrong, but thats 1.5amps each.... you will need to total the amps, to what you need to drive the lot. Make sure you have the supply...

    3rd click counter clockwise maintains the .047 cap to the 5 way-terminal and I will quote my library book on this--common emmiter circuit description "Figure 7-5 is a schematic of a generic NPN common-emmitter circuit. Capacitor C1 presents a short circuit to the AC signal, placing the...

    Restoring a Regal Do-Wa-Diddy by fOXX

    Yeah, I guess I kinda wanted to goose you guys a bit. I originally found out about taper pots when I went to my teach with a question... like, why does my pot measure 100k one way and 22k the other? He said.." if you fiddle with it, you will probably find out that it just wasn't all the way...

    There are alot of halogen bulb sockets out there...In the 80s there were alot of counterfeiters; they have destroyed all but the most inept of hackers out here.... in any case, if the bulb you took out has 2 pins and the one you are trying to put in has 3, you are trying to install the wrong...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    vewy vewy carefuwy checked out the RLC crcuit ---(proud yet?) that is a parallel RLC that only looks like an emitter follower. sorry. according to this book here.... inductance is measured in microhenrys. Where L is the inductance f = 1 / [2pi(LC)1/2] f= 1/ [6.2832(500x10).5] or 15708...

    Solid State.

    Supposed tipples are generally the reason old fogies have problems with the new systems... I would say that it appears to be all solid state when you open the case yeys? but I think that is mostly arduino/hybrid in there... solid state was a failed protocol.... did you know solid state did...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    I am not an engineer. so I can re-iterate... One of the first mistakes I made was attempting to connect my own ideas up where the 6 pin switch went. I thought that if the switch was grounded, that the only possible connections would be to the contacts that effected the board. So I tried to...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    This is the switch block... please note the possible switching that could be used on it... this is not assuming what type it is, but the diagram I have drawn is a SPST only between 2 as common and 4 and 5 as possible circuits.

    Phone Jack Types

    Some of the schematics I am reading have two types of phone jacks, stereo and mono. the jacks are usually labled as Input and Output, and two out of three have the stereo jack on the input, and the mono jack on the output. I am really getting confused now, because I only have one of each for...
