I don't think smacking it would fix caps.. It might be the tuner, since as you see in the video, other channels pick up the channel too, and one channel is FM radio..

Good one! There is likely a vertical linearity control on the back which will help the picture. If it doesn't go far enough, it's capacitor time. Vertical linearity problems were very common in the old B&W sets, & it has nothing to do with the signal input. The same distortion would be there with a blank screen. Man, I wish I had kept that old RCA set I had. It was a "portable" set, 2 feet...

QUOTE (evildragon @ November 26, 2009 07:24 pm) I'm using 9.10 Ubuntu, I lost my ability to play PrBoom.. Not one reply on their forums for a fix.. See..thats exactly WHY I asked around before I decided whether to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, and in that thread I got 80 percent of people who had severe complaints about 9.10! Personally I believe that has something to do with evolution - My Quad-Core 8Gb pc - is 2 years old now,...

Im having the usual turkey dinner at the inlaws this year. Im thankful for a loving and patient wife as well as for my 87 mustang that despite all odds against it, made the 700 mile trek to Nebraska where I can make it whole again, and did so without serious incident. struts are shot, dash lights are gone, sway bar end links both disengaged but she made it.

That's what safety lockouts are for. Any shock you can walk away from without burns is minor, but does serve as a wonderful teaching tool. It might save your life one day, if you ever get involved with any serious energy levels. When you work on kilovolt level power transmission systems, you usually don't get second chances.

That's probably not something you can "fix" -- the circuit will basically run video from the RF strip into a detector (probably a germanium diode in an IF can) straight into the video output amp. AGC controls average brightness, so black is always black and white is always white. But when there is no white in the signal (or at least not enough), AGC goes up and your dark scenes look brighter....

I've been using Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, and considering I'm not too keen on a CLI, it's actually very usable.

When shop for headphones, I grab a portable CD player & go do some comparative listening. That's the only way to tell for sure, & price is no guarantee of performance. BTW: Can't you fix the originals?

Some info on the switching requirement might help (child's night light, aircraft carrier landing light, etc.). Should be fairly simple to build one if necessary.

Hehe. Sounds like you already know what the problem is. Using Occam's razor, carefully unsheath the splice job, take each joint in turn, and pull on it. Now, if you already know which wire is the "UP," it's obviously worth a check with the meter.

I got some new studio lights and gear, but I'm having a couple problems. One of them, color balancing and lighting, I'm working on, it's all in the shutter speed since it MUST be manual... That I'm getting the hang of. But another, is anything that's shiny, like the vacuum tube I took a pic of, you can see the lights in the reflection. I don't want this effect, you can even see ...

I don't know about the military, but Morse is still heavily used on the ham bands, despite the fact that knowledge of it is no longer required to get a license in most countries and hasn't been for years. Listen to the CW (Morse) sections of the 20m, 40m, and 80m bands on the weekends and you'll hear plenty of Morse.
