1938 Packard

Lighting BY Elly Dee

So, now you're hunting for visual clues to where I work?

Seriously? I asked you for the single simplest design in the whole electronic spectrum and you had Google it to find out it has something to do with Faraday. Sheesh... I'm logging off and going to bed. You make me tired.

Then, you're phony. Look how long it took you to Google what I was asking you to do.

Eye doctor is running his business out of a building that used to be a bank branch. The room where customers choose the frames is in the vault. The vault still has the big steel door.

So, you're building motherboards and don't even know what an RC time constant is. Draw one. You can do it on a cocktail napkin.

It's about other people's wastefulness. People don't have to throw stuff away just because a new medium has been formed. They can keep older stuff for a fraction of what the "latest" play format is. Bluetooth will be obsolete in ten more years when somebody comes up with something more convenient or novel. But all new things have roots in the older things. modifications to the old are less wasteful.

Then, draw the RC time constant. I don't care about your master's degree.

Draw me an RC time constant, write the values and then I'll take that insult. Extra credit if you draw it in red and black ink to show the flow chart. In fact, if you write the values, I'll read it and tell you time in seconds that it represents.

Ick... roaches kill electronics faster than water does. They chew on wires and gum up the contact points with their waste product. Probably better off selling it "as is" to a collector who knows restoration. Good news is, if you haven't seen any live bugs coming out of the unit in the past three or four years, you can at least assume that any colony inside is dead.

Entertainment devices like this were usually called stereo consoles or Hi Fi consoles. Comparable ones can be found on eBay. To determine whether yours is tube or not, carefully open the back. If you see little glass things that resemble light bulbs, those are tubes. Pain the ass and really expensive to fix. If you don't see those, it may be solid state. That all works with transistors in place of the tubes. That was a state of the art feature back in the 60's and 70's and so many solid state models would have that phrase printed on the face plate near the control dials.

If it's solid state, you might just be okay to plug it in and see whether it functions to its original standard. If it does, I can show you some parts you can buy very cheaply that would have it running on Bluetooth. If it's a vacuum tube model, it can still be converted, but it's going to very expensive to have it recapped. Never plug in a tube model that has been sitting around unused for several years. The caps could be bad and that means a fire hazard. Solid state models also have caps, but normally, they are of much better quality and designed to be resistant to heavy humidity and other situations that would rot the older caps.

We also have live, healthy oak trees. They were not taken down. The cherry tree was obviously dying.

Learn how to make one of these Bluetooth compatible.

I didn't say it did.

You didn't read the OP.

Scroll up. Not feasible here.

A seedling is likely to get chopped up in the lawn mower before it's eight inches tall.

I'll keep that in mind when I call. I'm not sure whether a six foot tree would be feasible because the thin trunk might tempt some fool to break it down, like some of the new trees planted along Atlantic Avenue.

Of course, the RCA AUX inputs make it ideal for a Bluetooth receiver.

I haven't yet called any tree farms to get that information, but thanks for the advice. What does it mean to "but" a tree and what's the maximum size for planting?

Reminds me of the spoof resume I posted about a week ago. Except, yours doesn't include the parole board.

The cherry tree outside my apartment didn't make it through the summer. People abused it. They let their kids climb all over it, breaking small branches, chipping off the bark, etc. It had been dying a few limbs at a time time for about four years. This year, it didn't blossom, didn't produce one cherry and only the top most twigs had any leaves all summer. It's gone now - sent to the wood chipper. I'm looking for a new cherry tree... nine to twelve feet tall, high branches. Trees like that less likely candidates for climbing. I'll be calling tree farms for pricing this week and if it's not too expensive, I'll propose planting a new tree to the building manager and try to get the NY LLC that owns this property to sign off on it. I'm proposing to pay for everything from the tree itself to costs related to delivery and planting. Things just weren't right for me this past spring when blossom petals didn't fall on my path to the mail boxes.

How is comparing the weight of candy to the weight of car racist? I didn't mention any person.

That's near the weight of twenty seven 2017 Cadillac Escalades.
