Had a fantastic time, we arrived the day before and stopped in a hotel, my first time at retro tech, it was Jon Joe who talked me into going, soo good hoping to make it a regular event.
Is there a way to send a short video of my Gibson G101 organ. I have an electrical problem and have a question for you. When the extended bass range is switched off, some voices do not work. I made a short video that I would like to send to you.
Interesting video. Parking at RetroTechUK was very tight, but I did manage to park down near where you were, a little earlier. Aimed to get there a bit earlier after the problems with parking last year, when Comicom was sharing the venue. Nice haul. I got some good stuff too, but rather different 😉. Thanks 👍 😀
Yes, my friend, the RetroTech event was a brilliant day out. WI was there looking for a few specific tubes (got lucky finding those); record player cartridges (didn’t find what I was looking for); 1 pole 12 position rotary switches (didn’t find any of those either); new capacitors (did okay finding what I wanted), and included on my list of German, French, Australian, NewZealand, Canadian, and American tube radios ‘wanted list’ was a Telefunken Jubilate7 (introduced around 1956) - I got very lucky bagging one. Though it requires general cleaning, electronics servicing, including RF & IF alignment touch up, and a full purge on its cabinet, it nonetheless is functioning on all bands - a bargain for £3, yes, I paid a mere three quid for it. There’s no way I’d miss RetroTech: it’s so satisfying delving in, having a good old rummage, and I love chatting with interesting like-minded people. Best regards, Phil.
Uggg! I missed it! It would have been nice to have a wander and meet your good self! Good find with that TX9..... Is it the early version with the thyristor crowbar circuit? Keep up the good work, Andy :)
Yep, there's two thyristors, one is actually the regulating element in the power supply, and a second as a crowbar. Different entirely from the later "plastic" TX9 with it's TDA4600 and chopper transistor.
