When you turn the TV on, either manually or by the remote, the TV does
not come on but there is a clicking sound like a relay coming and
off, or a relay trying to energize but can't. this continues until the
plug is pulled. Any thoughts?
Tom

Maybe your Horizontal Output Transistor is fux0red. Had that happen on a JVC
TV once. I was going to repair but but I bought a Sony flat panel instead.
When I get around to it, I might just throw a bowling ball through the JVC
or smash it with a Louisville Slugger for laughs.

If I may ask first.

Would too high a voltage for the idling current on one of the channels
be a possible cause?

If you have been able to correct the bad idle current to the specified
value, the next thing that you should do is to compare the pot's set
position, or its resistance setting, to the pot on the good channel. If
it
is near enough the same, then the most reasonable conclusion is that you
did
have a dicky pot, and rotating it has cleared the condition.

It stands to reason that rotating the pot fully CCW or CW should not
damage the amp, otherwise not many would have left the factory. If the
trimmer is wired as below, then why not measure the idling
voltage/current at both extremities and verify whether this trips the
relay?

| V

If neither setting causes the relay to trip, then the problem must lie
elsewhere.

Not disputing the "should" Franc, I was just thinking that if the pot was
a
bit touchy, then whacking it from one end to the other with it farting
about, might just result in the magic smoke being released from the
outputs.
Just being careful, which you, more than most on here, should appreciate
is
a sensible thing to do with a DC coupled amp ... d;~}

Arfa

I was following up your suggestion that rotating a dicky pot may have
cured it, in which case returning it to its original condition would
not recreate the original fault. Furthermore, if the pot in the above
case had an intermittently open wiper, then you should be able to
reproduce the same fault by driving the wiper to the far left.

Based on the OP's followup, it appears that the pot itself may not
have been the problem.

I think we're talking at cross purposes here Franc. I know what I meant, and
you've known me long enough on here that I think you probably do as well ...

I could tell you a story about these things...

 

[William Sommerwerck]

Thanks, but it concerns me that, since I can't understand why, then I
may be missing something, such as a condition where this could be a
temporary fix in the end.

I understand exactly what you're talking about, but it simply isn't
productive. There are better ways to use your mental energy.

Pots (or the circuits they regulate) can and do drift. I've bought several
of the original Sony FM Walkman, and all have required the stereo sync pot
to be readjusted (by ear is sufficient) before the tuner would switch to
stereo.

I have the KF-60WE610. Bought in Dec 2003. Replaced the first lamp
burn out on Aug 2007. Has burned out again in only 1 year, probably
about 1,000 hours. Replacement lamp does not have either OSRAM or
Philips markings, but is Made in Japan. Lamp was replaced by circuit
city under warranty.

Given that the tv set is 5 years old and a lamp has burned out so
quickly, would it make sense to go ahead and replace the lamp ballast
(driver) as a preventive measure? I'm guessing these are subjected to
a harsh operating environment, degraded, and may have played a part in
the early lamp failure. Do lamp failures decline after ballast
replacement? The part is only $106 at the Sony site. The part
appears to have an upgraded part number, so it is possible that there
have been improvements in its design.

The lamp driver pretty much either works or it doesn't. Examine it to see
that it's plug-in connections aren't charred, and do make sure the fans
are
clean. They often get so occluded with dust that the lamp gets
insufficient
cooling, shortening lamp life.

Mark Z.

Thanks for the reply. Is the why some of the lamp housing doors
overheat and warp? There is a SB on this I believe. My lamp area
does not exhibit any signs of excessive heat.

Yes, that is why the doors warp. I believe there was also a class-action
regarding this, at least pertaining to certain models.

we have an old HP4145B parameter analyzer sitting around because the
floppy drive is broken and we cannot boot it anymore. If I am correct
it does not have a hard disk, therefore the floppy drive is mandatory.
Since we have another HP4145B that is still in use, I was wondering if
we could actually use the functioning floppy drive from the first
equipment and just use to boot the second equipment. However this only
works if the HP does not need write access during measurements or when
changing configurations. Does anyone know it this is the case?

Try it with the write-protect notch/slider on the floppy itself.

Also, is there a possibility to connect one floppy drive
simultaneously to two different pieces of equipment? I am afraid that
there will be problems about the potentials floating around, but maybe
there is some easy trick?
No.

By the way the broken floppy is a MP-F52W-20 from Sony. Does anyone
know the pin layout?

See the links, however the biggest problem is, that hp used special
drives with 600RPM, not the standard 300RPM.

Thanks in advance!!!

You need the conversion board worked on. If i remember right, on my old 50"
rear projection Mitsubishi that my I used to own, they said its around a $250
fix. Might be cheaper if you can source the exact board and do it yorself. Its
modular.

Mine, when it went, formed an hourglass shape on the screen.

OK, You're not gonna believe this, but I picked up a TV and remote that

Does yours have a “Code Set” button on the top right below “Cable”? If it’s not

As I said, this one is not a Universal Remote. It is just a regular TV
remote for the Memorex TV. I saw the CCD Closed Caption Decoder line,
which seems to be a Memorex trademark, and I passed along that it might
be a Memorex remote. Memorex makes the One-For-All line of remotes too.

Yes, but the one in the picture has a “Code Set” button. If yours is the same,
then it should have that button, and if it is not universal, then what does that
button do? The only buttons I’ve ever seen on remotes with that label have been
for programmable remotes, almost always universal-ish; so I can’t imagine what
else it could be for.

Many of the after market lamps only last one month or less.
I used them in Mitsubishi, Samsung and Sony TV sets, and was having a
nightmare! my company gave up on after market lamps and switched to OEM.

Where did you buy the lamp from?

I am looking for a source of type TM coax connectors and adapters.

Type TM is a miniature RF coax connector used way back in the sixties
on space programs. The connectors were originally manufactured by
General RF Fittings Division of Solitron Devices in Florida.
Eventually this company became today's SV Microwave. SV Microwave
still lists some of the original connectors on their website, but does
not list any between series adapters converting TM to something useful
like SMA, TNC, or N. I am contacting them to see if they have any
stock but obviously will have to wait until Monday to hear back.

In the interim, if anyone knows of a local electronics surplus house
that has TM female to SMA/TNC/N adapters, please let me know.

Finders fee is a free t-shirt from my employer - a very cool aerospace
company who shall remain nameless.

So why not a couple of pics with ruler, not the usual ?cent coin please.

A capacitor on my old wood boiler circulator is cracked and the thing
don't run. I went to Standard Electric and Bell pumps. Both said they
don't carry capacitors. It that a polite way to tell me to get fucked,
I'm not a contractor? I can't believe they don't carry capacitors. Or
maybe contractors can't fix anything anymore and just replace everything.

They may just find it uneconomical to stock a wide range of
infrequently-required parts... and, yeah, I suspect that they'd prefer
to sell you a new pump for $$$ rather than a capacitor for $.

You need the convergence KIT.
The kit includes 2 ICs and resistors.
You may want to touch up the convergence adjustment after installing these
