Ich ziehe gerade in eine andere Wohnung und in meinem Keller hängt das Ding da an der Wand. Die Vermieterin wusste bei der Übergabe der Wohnung auch nicht was das soll. Es hat möglicherweise heutzutage auch gar keine Funktion mehr, trotzdem würde ich hier lieber nichts anfassen.

Weiß jemand wozu das gut ist, bzw. war?

Hier ein Bild und zwei Ausschnittsvergrößerungen daraus.

I was so excited today when I found a like-new, unused (or barely used) GAF 3100S Super 8mm projector at a thrift store for $12.99. I've had a bunch of home-recorded Super 8 reels lying around and haven't been able to watch or digitize them properly. Well, it went very well for about five seconds. It started taking in film... but there was suddenly the smell of burning, a small pop, followed by a bit of worse-smelling smoke. I've done minor electronics repair in the past... but I'm afraid something like this is likely beyond my current abilities/tools. Anyone know of someone who repairs 1970s Super 8 projectors? (Brief research seems to indicate that this is a nice projector to have, so maybe worth getting repaired?)

If you are interested in amateur radio, retro electronics or technology then it is worth keeping an eye out for HAM Radio Rallies or events in your area. One of the best sources of information is the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB https://rsgb.org/). Their events page has a comprehensive list of events. Have a look and make a note now in your diary or calendar. They can be a great source of parts and old tech and are also a great opportunity to meet up and chat with folks interested in old technology.

La Philips P254 (1972) rappelle une époque où la technologie imposait le respect.
Pas d’annulation, pas d’automatisation.
Chaque opération comptait.
“faire un calcul” était un événement.

La Bowmar 901B n’était pas “smart”, mais elle était révolutionnaire : LED rouges, touches Klixon, et un cœur Texas Instruments.
Un ancêtre lourd, cher… et absolument mythique.

Who's got any tips on why the colour saturation on this little 7-inch TFT monitor is so poor? It was originally built for use in the broadcasting industry, I think, with its BNC and S-Video connectors. It could be twenty years old or more.

It's a RON-6070. I've opened it up to see if there are any obviously failing electrolytic caps, but they all look good to me.

What do you think? What else should I check?

(The image is otherwise clean and stable. I've been using the S-Video input with an Atari 140XE which has correctly saturated output over the same interface and connector on a different monitor.)

Suddenly a loud bang from the lab at the local #hamradio club ‼️ 💥🤯

Luckily nothing happened to the people in there, but I guess it’s safe to say that this vintage capacitor decided to quit its job 😂

Always wear safety glasses 🥽 when testing and troubleshooting #electronics, especially if it’s vintage gear where you have no knowledge of its state and health☝🏼
