Re: OT : A puzzlement - regarding my EMerson radio/cd/cassette player - any ideas?

Don't need one now that Mark and PJ figured out the problem ...

So in a way, even though there are no tubes - it does need warming up to
run ! :-)

World Photo Day and the September PUG

2016-07-29 Thread Brian Walters

G'day all

Just a bit of advance warning for September. 

World Photo Day is August 19 - see:

http://worldphotoday.com/

As in 2015, for the September PUG you need to take a photo - any photo -
on August 19, your local time.

So, if you want to participate in September, drag out your Pentax gear
on August 19 (expect some nagging as that date approaches...).


Cheers

Brian

Well that solder joint idea that you and PJ mentioned is intriguing -  I

turning out to be something that is , as they say today, "a thing". I 
have left it on radio since I wrote earlier -


and just now I popped in a cassette and it played.   So for now, I can 
either just leave it on or turn it on ahead of when I want to listen :-)

It does sound like a bad voltage regulator. This is typically a linear
regulator in these kinds of devices, a 3-pin integrated circuit
device. It could even be just a bad solder joint which makes a
connection only after it's reached a certain temperature. Hard to say
without opening it up and having a look around inside.

PESO: I Shoot Horses

Went back to the riding club the other night and shot some pics of my friend 
Nikki on her hunter jumper mare. She’s back to riding after a 20 year layoff, 
so she’s not jumping yet, but she seems to be handling the horse well. And 
she’s a pretty lady on a pretty horse which makes her a worthy subject by any

When you say the power supply is an outlet in your wall, do you mean
it's a standard two or three prong plug or a "wall wort" like this?

The wall outlet is your power source.  Inside the player is a bunch of
electronic gubbins that takes that power and divvies it out to the various
motors, amplifiers and radio curcuits.  That is the power supply that Mark
refers to.  There are a number of (probably) simple issues that would cause your
signs.  If you can find a decent repair shop, it may be repairable for less than
the price of a replacement.

Kits for fixing the Emerson TV power supplies are about $25

2016-07-29 Thread P.J. Alling

There could be a cold break in a solder joint.  The electronics don't 
need to warm up but the break in the joint needs to warm up to make 
contact.  It's unlikely but not impossible.  I can't think of anything else.

Never seen one of those before.  It's probably too late for me to get hold of a
selection of objectives before departure but I might see if I can call into work

Yes, the same thing happened, in effect - with the tape and cd player... 
it wouldnt come on ... and actually the cd player suddenly started playing
when I just left the cd I had in it sit..   and the tape player worked

If you have any 4X to 10X laying about, it would be fun to test. According to
Web sources, the most suitable ones have an infinity symbol engraved along

Interesting design.  Not stereo, despite the description, without

Well, an update of sorts ...

Following some of the information I found on the internet, I did a scan
for broken drivers. It returned a log file of all the things it "fixed".

Reading through the log file I couldn't make hide nor hair of what it
had done, but I noticed the log file also contained all the errors from
the failed Windoze 10 installation attempt & I noticed something
peculiar. All of the errors were from packages that failed to open & all
the packages that did fail were for an AMD x64 processor.

I found that kind of interesting because the system CPU is a quad core
Intel i7.

I'll give it one more go, but if it doesn't install in time to qualify
for the "free upgrade", fageddaboutit!

Re: OT: Windoze 10 Re-ducks


When I wrote that yesterday, I wasn't having problems, I was just amused
by how slowly it was going. I wasn't any more pissed off at Microsoft than
usual ... yesterday.

Today, I think Microsoft has reached a new low.

This morning it's "We couldn't Install Windows 10". So, maybe now I AM
having troubles.

"The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during
SYSPREP operation" & an error [0xC1900101-0x30018] that's not listed in
the "Troubleshooting Tips" webpage that message links to.

I've been searching the web for answers & Microsoft's response in every
forum where I've found the error listed is "Good luck! Come back & let
us know if you find a solution."

Windoze 10 looks like it's going to be a bigger POS than Vista or
Windoze 8. All the hype surrounding Windoze 10 stresses how easy &
convenient it is to "upgrade" & use. I've successfully installed Windoze
10 on one of three computers; 33% success rate.

That is double-plus NOT good.

Also my PC is so low spec that I'm almost certain I'd run into worse
problems than you have.

Re: PESO: Visitor

Thanks for looking and commenting, Ann.  The fawns are usually quite
jumpy.  It was hot and humid at the time, and I suppose that played a part
in their decision to stay there a while before letting my offensive

Re: OT : A puzzlement - regarding my EMerson radio/cd/cassette player - any ideas?

Ann, that is very strange indeed.  As a former physics major who used to
tinker with radio broad casting and transmitting equipment, as well as
radio receivers, I can think of no credible explanation. Have there been
any recent alien abductions reported in the Village lately?  

The only solution I can think of is trow away the radio and get an iPhone.

The thread on microscope objectives is pretty standard, old DIN designation.
Pentax has an M-series microscope adapter with the same thread. Mounts 
straight on a bellows or a camera.

If you have any 4X to 10X laying about, it would be fun to test. According 
to Web sources, the most suitable ones have an infinity symbol engraved 
along with the magnification description. Apparently they can be mounted in

The thread on microscope objectives is pretty standard, old DIN designation. 
Pentax has an M-series microscope adapter with the same thread. Mounts straight 
on a bellows or a camera.

If you have any 4X to 10X laying about, it would be fun to test. According to 
Web sources, the most suitable ones have an infinity symbol engraved along with 
the magnification description. Apparently they can be mounted in front of 
ordinary photographic lenses for more magnification and enabling of camera 
electronics.
