Earlier in the conversation you mentioned being an aviation electronics
technician in the Navy and building your own amplifiers. I knew an OLD
engineer who built amplifiers for fun, and he was strongly opinionated
on the subject of analog versus digital. Do you still do any electical
tinkering?
I haven't used a soldering iron for ages. I have had some fun with
home repair. The bathroom fan failed and the original manufacturer no
longer makes that model. However, they make a newer model that uses
the exact same electrical connector, but with a slight difference in
the metal housing so it sticks out too far to fit in the old
receptical. I verified that the electrical parts were compatible.
Then i took a hack-saw to the housing, cut away some of the extra
material, and also cut a flap and bent it out to create a tab to
fasten it to a screw hole in the receiptical. When i put it all
together, it worked perfectly.
My grandpa's GE J105 radio is in the attic. The innards look dirt
simple. It has a plain 110 V 2 prong electrical plug. Some day i might
like to give it some TLC and power it on. During COVID-19 churches were
buying low power FM radio transmitters to offer drive-in service.
Consequently you can get them for $100 or so on Scamazon. Fun, right?
