Great inspiration! My vintage Pyle 10" sub had a slight rub as above. I figured which way the basket needed to move and let it have it with my trusty 20oz ball peen. Works perfectly now no rattle.

Hera video, I have the 250, really needs a full restoration because is 99% except the filter cap was replaced in a real ugly manner.

What a beast these look! I would definitely buy if Roberts/Glen company made a internet, DAB+ version of this beauty!

Is it normal to have that amount of white smoke in cold start? I'm new to working on a nt855 big cam and the first time timing one. And in cold start it blows white smoke till it gets 90F water temperature

wewewewewewewewewewewewe! goes the wow and flutter.

I dug out a lot of records after I lost my Mum in 2012 and this was one of them. I remember playing it in the 1970's when I was about 8.

Thank you for doing this. I've just got a pm5326 and struggling to prise off the knob caps. Not great for self-esteem. How do you do it without mangling them?

Wow

And that's for Greta? At least you are breathing plenty of exhaust in that room, so that's for you too. Cutting off your nose to spite your face. I love diesels, my current one has 225,000 miles on it, but if it was belching unburned fuel I'd fix it. By the way, you have an exhaust leak. Having said that, I love the way these crawl into life, until there's enough exhaust energy to spin up the turbocharger. Once the inlet pressure rises the whole thing bursts into life. Driving a turbo diesel is all about the turbo, until that is happy nothing much is happening.

How many people came back to this video, because they wanted see if the exhaust leak was still the same over 15years time

Great collection you have there! I have a few. Have you ever had any where the Hand has actually gone into 'Stormy'? A very rare occurrence I find; indeed, I only ever had it happen once - about thirty years ago when we had a spell of recurring thunderstorms and rain repeatedly over a few days in 1992 I think - quite exciting! Quite atmospheric when there’s big and sudden activity in Barometers (no pun intended) as they generally move in very small increments for the most part. More interesting devices than most people give them credit for. I collect Watches and Clocks too, and a bit like those; it doesn’t always necessarily follow that the more you pay - the better the accuracy; I have one particular Barometer that’s extremely accurate - but wasn’t that expensive. Plus, I also have a £5.99p modern Chinese Mechanical Watch that is more accurate than my £4.000.00 Omega!! No word of a lie!

I need this model

Is it for sale?

Fcken hell is all I can say! Fixed the death rattle from my old and beat up sony sub immediately! I had already bought another system and was just playing around with the old sub. This trick proved to be immensely helpful. Now I'll fit this sub in my beater car. Extremely grateful 🙏

I will never own a diesel without engine block heaters.

That’s a very nice pulse generator, if noisy in operation because of the enthusiastic small fan in the back. Also the box sticks way back, so it can be tricky to find a place for it, but it works well and is incredibly versatile. I read that the HP team in Germany designed it and the other pulse generators from HP, and you can tell that they come from the same mind and hand. The density and elegance of the front panel control functions are rivaled only by the folding PC cards inside!

I had some faulty Bypass Capacitors in the logic Part..

Every standby generator that I've worked on has had a block heater attached that maintains the coolant temperature at around 160 degrees F, so that the generator will immediately start and be able to come online at full load within 10 seconds.

Brilliant :)

Awesome bit of kit, such a sound! What building is this in out of curiosity, comms exchange?

🙏

That’s about right

Thanks ji 🙏

If that battery isn't perfect it won't start. You might toast the starter motor for trying so long. It would be easy to install a coolant heater. With the coolant temp kept at around 150 deg F, it'll start right up. A warm diesel is a happy diesel.

Hi, I did a simulation of the 220 tone circuit, the tone controls as standard on the 220 (and 250) have a big bass and treble boost, perhaps suited to a full range single cone speaker. A suitable HiFi adjustment is to change: 1. Change C61(0.03u) to 150n and move it next to R58/C63. 2. R58 -> 68k, R50 -> 68k. 3. C63 -> 120p, C67 -> 470p 4. C69 -> 27n, C71 -> 33n, C65 -> remove 5. Add Rboost of 1M parallel to C69 That should give a reasonably flat < 1dB response with useful bass and treble, and a bit less loss. Perfection cannot be attained without another buffer stage, IMO, a defeat switch would be nice, a relay from the 'Noise filter' switch perhaps

I have one of these, so will be fettling it soon. I know it's 2 years old, but the service manual can be found Ok for these free online. When balancing on the side, a coaster or strip of ply supports the main transformer, makes it more stable. But space on there for the MPX I think, the 250 has that built in IIRC, or perhaps a DIY one can be added. Worth adding a soft start IMO, I actually had a small valve spark internally each time I switched it on (a few years ago now), so i added some zenner chains to tame the HV until the tubes warmed up, but some type of soft start would be nice for the HT.

I am quite keen to buy one of these but it's difficult to see where the 2,000 euros is?

This is the most helpful video on how to do this that I have been able to find on the internet. I'm now in the process of doing this to a pair of very nice 7x35 porro prism binoculars with a wide field of 10.1* Do you know of any more videos on servicing this type of binoculars I would very much appreciate it. Thank you!

can you say whether it is comfortable please

Looking for Sony external antenna

Wow i did this and now i can‘t distinguish from source and Tape. (Type 2 tape)

Thank you for this lovely video Simon! I became the proud owner of a Philips 280 myself in 1978-9 when I sold my Lego set to buy my very first radio. It was a lovely bit of kit, and it kept me very well entertained throughout my secondary school years. Scrolling through the short, medium and longwave bands I came across Radio Moscow and remember my amazement at my small transistor radio being tuning in to stations broadcasting from the other side of the world. The one problem I remember with the 280 was the 'ON-volume' switch not always working properly. I'd rotate the switch to turn the radio off and it would not 'click' off. I became very adept at opening the set and tightening the little screw that made the switch work! If I were a different lad, that would have been my gateway to a career in electronics, but I had no further interest than that! When I started working I replaced the 280 with a Sanyo cassette stereo. I wish I'd held on to it, but today, having gone down memory lane with you, I've ordered a replacement Philips 280 transistor. I can't wait to get it!

A very close cousin of this engine is used in quite a lot of trains. By turning it on its side and rearranging the cooling system somewhat, it can fit under the chassis of a carriage along with a hydraulic transmission. The sound is very similar too.

Hi Simon , I like the way you explain the electrics I have a 2002 Triumph 955 i which had corrosion within the loom , stripped it back and cleaned it up and tested as I went. Did not touch it for 2 years now I find bulbs light dimly and measure approx 6 volts at rear bulbs. I s there a way of checking to establish where is in the loom?

R532 and R535 The bests.

Nice job! I'll try that on my 6.5 woofer I just smoked.

I was waiting for you to mow a small square and then leave it like that ;)

Love the Technics tuners, tops in my book. Thought the STS-6 was the best. Let us know about the sensitivity after your tune up.

Would love to see how you got the back off. Can't get mine off 😔

That is a labor of love. Excellent.

Super Video, werde mir die Tage zwei riemen bestellen!

Those engines always like the starting fluid when it goes cold out. I start that same engine in tractors before when it only been 10°F not anyway close to a plug in.

How many MHz is that scope?

This is amazing how a Cummins diesel generator still starts very well in cold weather, even after 15 years stopped! I hope you share this video on another platforms such as Instagram.

Just came across this video as I just found this record player and not sure if you have any tips for this but the speaker was working and it seems it got disconnected from the main player as you can’t hear anything anymore.

Can't tell what's being unscrewed at 4:54. I have a piece of rubber/insulation glued to the back under the battery which I'll have to rip up (and not be able to replace). Cheers!

Hi Thanks for this beautiful video I finally understood how to adjust the engine!! I have another problem during the recording phase, when I arm the recorder the input sound disappears or is very distorted, is there an explanation for this? Thank you so much

Kürzlich für kleines Geld bekommen!"da gab's noch Qualität fürs Geld"!-mach Reinigung und Abgleich kann ich nur Staunen,über die gute Empfangseigenschaften und den Klang für diese Größe!"Nicht Schlecht"-fas Design war damals schon sehr modern und mit der Zeit!-die Blende noch in Alu.fa wurde noch nicht gespart,so wie Heute!-Gruss vom Radiosammler aus Westfalen!

The LP140 tt comes with the tonearm shield grounded to mains earth, if used with earthed amplifier with ground lead, loud hum, no ground lead no hum, I got in there and separated the audio ground from chassis in the turntable and have the ground lead do it's assigned job- tonearm grounded to phono stage

Do you have a link to the adapter for the oil filter by chance?
