I wasn't going to mention any names here but thanks again guys,thanks for the pictures that you did send me and the extra info as it will help me out a lot on building my power supply....Greg,Larry thanks for what you sent me too...now I can get started on my project......thanks again guys....my...

I use a simple home made curve tracer with my scope to make fast checks on in circuit/out of circuit transistors,diodes,resistors,capacitors,grounds,connections..sometimes it is best to just lift one end of a diode to check it or lift the transistors leads for a better check..... a good curve...

Anyone know what the brand and/or the part number is of the dual circuit breaker/switch that Fatboy uses in their 150 amp power supply? ...200 Amp Power supply ?..... Anyone have any inside pictures of the Fatboy 100 or 150 amp or the 200 amp power supply ? (I know Fatboy has some inside...

On RG-8/213 coax,I just cut the braid back about 1/2 inch and fold it back over itself (Fan the braid out a little)then screw the pl-259 over the end of the coax while aligning the center conductor into the center pin of the pl-259 this causes the inside threads of the pl-259 to screw down on...

Here is one way to do it if you are making a lot of jumpers..and you know what you are doing !....I've made 1,000's of them this way...I use a couple of 240 watt weller guns depending on how I feel.....one of them has the regular heavy duty tip on it and the other gun has the regular heavy duty...

what is the total amount of power that you want to put in your dummy load? That would be the first question to ask yourself....then we can give you help or point you in the right direction....the easiest is to purchase already built but sometimes it isn't as much fun as building your own and...

About that soldering iron... I have been soldering for more than 50 years and at one time or another I have "grabed the wrong end of the soldering iron!" by mistake....it won't take you long to look at it and let go!.. but if you happen to make that mistake,grab a can of circuit cooler and...

I have a box of them around here somewhere,I think they were #1829 or simular to that,I had some 28 volt bayonet base ones just like the #47 except they had a red plastic covering over the bulb....BTW I have used bright red fingernail polish to do the same thing. makes a nice looking modulation...

I used to build those little modulation indicators using a #47 pilot lamp but later changed them out to a 28 volt bulb to keep them from blowing.I never kept them keyed but for just a few minutes or so ,just for a fast indicator during installations just for the presence of rf on a "Barefoot"...

Here in Florida on a 3 wire 110 volt single phase ac wall socket,it should be wired with the round connector to ground(Green),the larger (wider spade) connector is tied to white (which is another Ground for safety),the smaller spade is tied to black which is (hot/110volts ac).I have never seen...

Antenna Specialist "Starduster"...Omni-directional Base Antenna Half wave Dipole.full aperture design puts more usable signal at horizon.all elements are active.5.0 db gain.VSWR 1.5.1 or less power handling capability provides 500 to 1 safety factor. 100 mph plus wind loading factor.6 ft. wing...

Somebody is showing their age..................LOL

Hey Distortion,I think I would be looking for a better antenna than a Starduster....Is that one of the original Starduster antenna by Antenna Specialist ?...seems like such a waste of power with very little gain....BTW what are you going to do with all the Iota power supplies?

2 things..... You sure that isn't an AMPOWER tube amp ?... maybe the first one he built.LOL How much was the top bid ?..I must have missed seeing it listed !

That engine that he built used an 18 HP Onan engine (2 Cyl ) it would haul about 20 Adults with ease..

Hey CWM...just my opinion but I like it better when you just post here about the Trains instead of who received some fine or citation....It was geting to be like beating a dead horse...anyway I am also glad that you started a thread on trains here. Now that you have retired,you can enjoy...

Yes,You can make a 4 ft. fluorescent bulb light up and once you get the bulb started you can walk 20 or more feet away from the antenna and it will stay lit untill it gets dim and drops out....it all depends on your antenna and how much power you are puting out. I have never had one get warm...

The best thing to do is Buy or Build you a bigger power supply and be done with it.....I don't think the dryer motor/alt. combo will get it.....But you can try it.....since it's your stuff ! BTW if you need info on building you a larger power supply just go to Google and enter the words...

2M Guy had it right....I like the Astron power supplys but they do need to be worked on sometimes.....check here http://www.kbt-dc-supplies.com/astronmod1.php http://www.kbt-dc-supplies.com/replace.php Checkout this "Bigun" or "BIGGUN" .....13.8 volts @ 150+ Amps...

Checkout this 150 amp 13.8 volt regulated power supply that I found on Google http://www.kbt-dc-supplies.com/biggun.php
