Vintage transistor radio repair8/31/2023 Start by inserting and removing a plug repeatedly. Use the same techniques described for cleaning volume controls and switches. If the earphone works, but the speaker doesn’t, then dirty speaker contacts in the jack might be the issue. Plugging in an earphone can help you diagnose this problem. For this to work properly the contacts need to be clean. When the plug is inserted it disconnects the speaker. When the earphone plug is removed both contact points touch, sending the sound to the speaker rather than to the earphones. Dirty/faulty Earphone JacksĪ surprising number of dead radios can be brought back to life by cleaning the small metal contacts in earphone jacks. Put some of it in a “pin oiler” bottle and apply it that way. You can even use liquid rubbing alcohol in a pinch. I like DeoxIT brand spray, but there are many other good ones. If this fails you should try squirting contact cleaner into the volume control. Sometimes simply moving the volume control rapidly back-and-forth ten or twenty times can clean up the two surfaces. Over time dirt and corrosion build up making the connection between the wiper and the coating unreliable. Volume controls are “variable resistors,” which consist of a circular resistive coating (the gray part in the illustration) and a wiper that slides over this material. Sometimes this problem is so bad that you will hear no, or only the scratching noises, making you think that the radio is not receiving signals, and is dead. When you move a volume control knob and hear scratchy, static-filled sounds it is likely due to dirty volume control innards. Dirty or damaged terminals will silence a radio. Old batteries were prone to leaking corrosive goo that forms an insulating insulator on the metal parts, preventing contact between the battery and terminals. Batteries, Holders and Terminalsīattery holders are probably the main enemy of old portable radios. As always, practice on less valuable radios until you feel confident. If you have never done these things, they are fun and easy to learn.Īppendix Two shows you the skills you’ll need. You might need to do some soldering and desoldering. Not only did the plastic protect the painting, but it also provided the illusion of depth.You don’t need to understand much radio theory or any engineering formulas to do many common AM transistor radio repairs. They would do this by taking the clear plastic dial from the front of the radio and painting an image on the back. One popular feature most common in Japanese radios was reverse painting. The company had supplied its sales teams with shirts with oversized pockets to enable this feat. Another collectable model is the Sony TR-63, which advertised as fitting in a shirt pocket. The 1954 Regency radio from the US was the first commercially released transistor radio and is popular with collectors the world over. Not only are Zenith and National radios popular despite their foreign origins, there are others that are collectable for their own sake. Another thing to look for is FM band support, which was later coming to Australian radios, as the country did not adopt FM radio until later than the US. Astor, AWA, Kriesler and STC are all popular brands and Australian models have some of the more popular stations already in print on the dial instead of just numbers. While foreign brands such as Sony played a huge part in the history of transistor radios, many Australian collectors prefer to start with homegrown Australian brands. Minor cosmetic issues like paint splatters are easy to remove, so they have a fairly small effect on value. Functionality is an important part of condition a radio that works is worth more than one that doesn't. Even a very rare early Zenith model will have its value determined by condition as well as rarity. What to Look ForĪs with any collectable radio the first thing to look for is condition. Music could finally go anywhere and the idea that summer could have a soundtrack was born. Unlike the larger collectable valve radios of the era, transistors made radio truly portable for the first time, and a whole new generation took that idea and ran with it. Following their introduction in 1954, transistor radios soon took the world by storm.

Mixemergency multiple output8/31/2023 The pads are the same physical pads you would find on the DJM-S11 or DJM-S7. This should be familiar to anyone that uses Pioneer DJ battle mixers. Hopefully, a firmware update will fix this issue. It’s not the end of the world, but it is a little annoying. The last issue with the Instant Scratch is that the sounds don’t start right at the 12:00 position. This issue is only with the Instant Scratch sounds and doesn’t occur in Serato. When I first heard it, I thought it was a physical rattling sound on the hardware. Most people won’t notice it without listening carefully, but it’s there. Platter motions on the audio give it a slight rattling sound, which is slightly disconcerting. I can also hear a subtle distortion with the Instant Scratch sounds. The best I can describe it would be the difference between scratching on a Technics 1200 and a Super OEM turntable. This requires a little more “throw” when releasing the platter and there is a slight audio warble on release that is only really audible on certain samples at slow pitches. The biggest issue I found with the DDJ-REV7 platters is that the pickup of on release doesn’t feel as instantaneous as the platters on the Rane ONE or the Twelves. I’ve only experienced a few issues with the platters that bothered me – all of them trivial. It’s great to see them taking a chance on a different design than the tried-and-true. Massive kudos to Pioneer DJ for flexing their R&D and heavily innovating in this space. These might be my favorite spinning platters to play on outside of turntables – and I’ve used most of the modern options. The design is brilliant, and I’ve been waiting for a spinning platter with an embedded screen forever. They feel responsive, maintain great accuracy, and are a joy to use. The track art view displays any album art you have in your collection, and a DJ Logo view shows your DJ logo. The last two views include a Track Art view and a DJ Logo view. In this view, you also get the number of semitones shifted from the original key. This screen now includes a new countdown feature that displays the number of beats until the next hot cue. The Virtual Deck mode is reminiscent of the DDJ-1000SRT platter screens. All options display the relevant track info outlined above. There are three additional views for the platter screens, offering a total of four views. You can also zoom in and out the platter waveforms using the Shift and the Pitch Bend buttons. In addition, BPM, Auto-Loop values, pitch percentage, and key are displayed prominently. Pioneer DJ has even added a variation of the CDJ Phase Meter display in this view. You also get the waveform for the opposite deck on the screen. The default setup includes a waveform view with smooth, scrolling, vertical waveforms in the middle and waveforms of the entire track on the outside. The screen at the center is similar to the screen you would find on the DDJ-1000. Today, they revealed the DDJ-REV7: a premium, all-in-one, Serato-based controller with spinning platters. Well, here we are in 2022, and Pioneer DJ finally did the unthinkable. Year in, year out, these rumors would occasionally swirl up. I have even seen people post pictures from our very own speculative article as “leaks.” Perhaps some leaked custom accessories from a 3rd party manufacturer like 12inchSkinz. It might be a leaked schematic or someone’s concept art for a hybrid player. Over the years, the rumor mill would swirl about the potential for a spinning platter controller from Pioneer DJ. With all these offerings available, the prevailing question remained: when will Pioneer DJ come out with a controller with spinning platters? For years, the answer seemed to be “never.” Fast forward several years and we saw a spinning platter renaissance thanks to the introduction of the Rane Twelve, the Denon SC5000M, and later, the Traktor S4 MK3, the SC6000M, and the Rane ONE. While the Numark NS7 had enjoyed three different iterations, it was always a niche product and was never widely adopted. Spinning platter controllers and players made an unexpected comeback in the last few years. She has an RRSP portfolio worth $500,000, with an asset mix of 40% equities and 60% fixed income. Our next example is for the retirement stage. In a V-shaped recovery, it would take about 14 months in a multi-year bear market, it would take 5.8 years to see the $100,000 mark again, thanks to Keith’s contributions. It took about 2.8 years for the median line to reach the original portfolio value of $100,000 (the horizontal dashed line). An unlucky outcome usually means a multi-year bear market (such as 1929 or 2000) with several aftershocks. The red line represents the bottom decile or “unlucky” outcome. A lucky outcome can happen when the recovery is described as V-shaped. The green line represents the “lucky” outcome (the top decile, or top 10%, of all outcomes). The blue line represents the median portfolio: half of the grey lines are above it and the other half are below. Each of the grey lines represents one specific starting year since 1900. Keith wonders when his portfolio will get back to its pre-crash value of $100,000.įigure 1 displays the aftcast. Then a fractal event happens and his portfolio loses 25% of its value it’s now worth $75,000. Keith plans to add $4,000 each year to his portfolio. This reflects approximately a bond ladder with an average maturity of five to seven years at current yields, assuming no defaults and no capital gains/losses. certificates of deposit plus 0.5% as the net yield. stocks (S&P 500).Īs for the fixed income portion, we use the historical interest on six-month U.S. Half of the equities are in Canadian stocks (S&P/TSX composite) and half are in U.S. The asset mix is 70% equities and 30% fixed income. Imagine a 30-year-old client named Keith with a portfolio worth $100,000. Let’s first look at an accumulation portfolio. It also provides the success and failure statistics with exact historical accuracy because it includes the actual historical equity performance, inflation and interest rate, as well as the actual historical sequencing/correlation of these data sets. It gives a bird’s-eye view of all outcomes for a given scenario. Aftcasting displays the outcome of all historical asset values of all portfolios, on the same chart, since 1900. This analysis uses actual market history, which we call “aftcasting” (as opposed to “forecasting”). Before Covid-19, it was estimated at US$253 trillion, and governments around the world have since introduced unprecedented monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis.Īssuming central banks can continue to bail out the economy, how many months or years would it take the portfolio to recover its original value? The global total debt was US$87 trillion in 2000. In the past, central banks jumped in to help - but these recoveries did not come cheaply. A bad downturn can wipe out 10 years of retirement income.Īfter a fractal event such as the market response to Covid-19, we all hope for a quick recovery. You might say, “Well, it only happens 3% of the time - why worry?” The answer is simple: plans can get ruined. The problem is the other 3% of the time, when markets are fractally going down then these strategies don’t help much. In the random mode, well-known strategies such as asset allocation, diversification, rebalancing, dollar-cost averaging and buy-and-hold work perfectly well. Nota movie us theaters list8/31/2023 Still, the director never stops in going ahead with giving new content and throws something or the other which is not formulaic and is engaging in moments. Amidst all these, we have the flashback of the character of Mahendar (Sathayaraj) which feels totally jarring. There is the opposition angle that takes a logically illogical turn. The second half gets worse on this score. There is so much happening, but the energy and proper flow are missing. And then we are back to the hero his rowdy warning. The next thing we get is Nasser’s flashback that tests the patience. Every character seems to have a story of their own, and even though it’s not shown in length, the short parts are enough to derail the proceedings from time to time.Īn example here would be the press meet scene of hero post the riots where he gets the public mandate. The biggest issue which bogs down the narrative is the various subplots. It lacks cohesive energy and is all over the place. The narrative style is the same with similar problems exhibited here as well. If one has seen the previous films of Anand Shankar, one can easily make out how NOTA is going to head. The performance, as a result, gets shortchanged and lacks impact. The way the dynamic changes between the opposition leader and others, the CM role never builds to give a satisfactory high. The press meet scene during the riots followed by dance number, the flood sequence intercut with black money handling. The aggressive in parts role looks passive in the end or more like a passive observer. The inconsistent graph makes one get a disconnect with the portrayal. However, unlike those films, the character here lacks the proper elevation and flow. It is more like the Oke Okkadu and Leader terrain. The role is built in a different sort of way that the usual heroic style we are used to in Telugu cinema. However, the character graph of the Chief Minister here is different. That would be how it is if we only look at the performance from the lens of a Chief Minister. What happens when a reluctant none interested Varun takes over as CM is what the film is all about?įor an actor who is playing the character of a Chief Minister, Vijay Deverakonda misses the attitude and gravitas required for the part. Vasudev (Nasser) appoints his son Varun (Vijay Deverakonda) as interim Chief Minister as he has a case to deal.
