Dad Blame it!

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Two easy things are now a pain. One is a deer hunting call which has a slide on/off switch. I modified one for a guy adding a momentary push button as the click from the slide switch was too loud. He gave me his friends to do the same and I drilled a hole in the case for the size of a momentary push button my wife got from the junk box at the hospital. Very nice robust switch still in its original plastic wrap with a neon light and hardware. Perfect for the job too as the terminals come out on the bottom 90 degrees offset. After installing it F me! It's normally closed!

Number two is I gave a neighbor a nice 60's Admiral clock radiomodel YG-547, chassis 6H4N-3. AM/FM with a phono input it has 6 tubes. It was dead, no tubes light up. Hoping for an open filament but no. Probably the selenium rectifier or silicone diode. No schematic anywhere.

Two potentially easy things have turned into a pain. Just wanted to bitch and moan a bit. Oh well, time to move forward.
