Design of "The Rebooterator" - Device to monitor IP connected devices and reboot them automagically
zhlédnutí 105Před 4 lety
This could be useful to automatically reboot Internet (IP) connected devices which periodically "lock up"... I developed it to reboot an Aercus IP weather station receiver unit. Circuit diagram: fuji.essenet.co.uk/rebooterator.pdf Python script: fuji.essenet.co.uk/rebooterator.0.0.1.py.txt
A quick look inside a TEAC X1000-R reel to reel tape recorder
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 4 lety
I opened this deck to fix a fault, which frustratingly disappeared. Thought you might like a quick look inside whilst I had the back off... Apologies for the dodgy hand held camerawork.. Focus you .... Hmm, thinking about it I think the power supply stuff is largely on the same board as the transport control - the vertical board, rather than the board at the bottom of the deck which I mentioned..

Weircliffe Bulk Tape Eraser / Big Electromagnet - Modification / Butchering
zhlédnutí 841Před 4 lety
I modified an old bulk tape eraser so I could use it to demagnetise larger tapes, or indeed anything that needs to be demagnetised. Some might call it modification, some might call it butchering. The mean spirited would call it a bodge!

    Those Akai GX6XX series were the ULTIMATE decks of that time. They were appealing to look at, sounded phenomenal, and really weren't that expensive either! The only issue they have, is it's tough to find parts for them, and they're hard to work on in comparison to Teac and Pioneer.

    Just bought one of these to use as a summing mixer. I have a Teac Model 3 but the output switch is gone and I don't have the time or money to fix it, so I bought this and am going to run vocals with effects and some analog compression through it to my Tascam Model 12. I then set up projects using a DAW so I don't have to worry about how many channels I have and then send master files I'm finished off in the DAW, to Cassette. You can also do this over and over again depending on the effect your going for, Anyways this machine is going to be great for summing. Nowadays you can have the best of both worlds.

    Brilliant video man, cheers. I have this exact same unit, but mine functions differently, and im having trouble determining if its due to a broken part or not. The right tensioner arm that uses a microswitch to stop the reels and deactive the capstan on my machine only deactivates the capstan. For some reason on my machine, the reels will just continue to spin indefinitely after the tape has finished feeding, but the capstan will stop rolling. Any ideas what this could mean??? Thanks again!

    If tapping is resolving the issue, it means there's a bad solder point and/ or the PCB print is fractured/ lifted at the solder point. Re-solder everything in questionable region and continuity test on the traces. Easy fix.

    I am still trying to figure out the master fader? It doesnt have a dedicated master out connection, just a multi out that gets its source from assignment switch, so in essence there is one master fader for all four outs, if i understand the logic. I do have the mb20 meter bridge that does have a sum stereo pair, which is baffling the summing happens in the mb20. Anyway, the mb20 meter bridge is a must have for the added features, AND quad VU meters!

    Creative use! I gotta share my experience with one of these. I actually found one at a flea market the very next day after thinking "it would be amazing to run into a TEAC mixer at some point". I'd never even seen one, and BAM, Sunday morning at the Pasadena community college parking lot, I find one for fifty dollars. The reason I wanted a simple mixer is for creating a sub mix from a drum machine. This mixer has the basics for drum processing! No mids control? For percussion, you won't miss it, you want your highs HI and your lows to rumble. The easy EQ is terrific, panning and even individual channel outs you can use as a trigger out (these outputs are unaffected by the EQ). To top it off, all four outputs in the output matrix have their own send/return loops!!! I can line up a compressor, distortion, delay, and reverb and push any combination of output buttons to process my drums. I'm way happy to have found this thing. It was on it's own, no VU meters or tape deck. And made in Japan in the late seventies, during the peak of their manufacturing prowess, be still my heart.. Just wanted to share another use I am applying for this cool piece of kit!
