@@craigcorbin4098 My son works at the corporate offices of a major bank. They were updating their shredders several years ago and I ended up with one of their old ones. It is huge and can shred 8 pages at a time. So unfortunately the shredder I repaired in that video is long gone.

Have to make do with what you have. Limited ceiling space on the other side of the basement due to the furnace piping. Too expensive to heat my garage in the winter, so this is where I work in the winter. Not optimal, but it is what it is.

Man has to do what he has to do..... Stay safe. @@capriracer351

It is a Hammond console type enclosure. Digikey # HM3108-ND

Thanks!

The thing about analog meters is their input impedance is typically low. This circuit is highly current limited. So I was concerned that the analog meters might load the circuit down too much. The original intention of this from the AWA was to connect your digital multimeter to it for the voltage and current reading. The input impedance of those DMM's is usually 10 megohms. If you search through xraytonyb's videos, he built one of these as well. He used an op amp buffer to raise the input impedance so that the analog meter did not affect the measurement. That may be the correct way to use the analog meter.

Unfortunately I have not been able to track down a manual.

I purchased those meters from Amazon. Here are the links: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V4DZH8L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098MKJ8MP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you for the link. Will I need any impedance buffering for the voltmeter?

@@raybecson9374 I bought these over a year ago, so the specifications are not fresh in my mind, but I think they were 10 megohm input impedance, so they didn't need any buffering.

HB2E-DC24V They seem to be getting hard to find. Any I found on eBay was coming from China and did not look to be the quality of the ones I bought last November.

Thanks1@@capriracer351

Very true. The baby boom witnessed the peak. I am old enough to have witnessed some of that peak, but by the early 80's the decline was starting. That decline has been precipitous in the past 20 years.

M001, M002, M101, M103 are 4 amp fuses. M202 is 500ma. F201 is 6 amp

After I ran it for quite a while, it sounded a lot better. I think that the Yamaha preamp might have sat on a shelf for a very long time and the electrolytics needed to reform again. The amp sounded very tinny originally, but after a few hours of use sounded very good. I'm thinking about tracking down another on eBay that needs repaired to fix and put out in the garage.

It did improve after I ran the system for several hours. I don't think that either piece of equipment had been used for a long time. Most likely the preamp needed the capacitors to reform. I don't believe I changed any of them like I did in the power amp. I'll try to change the settings as you suggested and see if there is an improvement.

All that you need is a multimeter that is sensitive in the DC millivolts range. Just do each adjustment in order as it is listed in the service manual. This will equalize the outputs. The potentiometers are very sensitive though, so be careful. You do not want the adjustment to go way out of range.

Did you find a service manual?

I cracked a cylinder wall in 2003. Ran a couple iterations of a 347 after that. Haven't raced this car in quite a while and plan to sell the chassis some time this spring.

Started racing there after Sunset shut down originally in the mid 90's. Lucky always acted like you shouldn't be there and I damn near had to get physical with him one time when I won King of the Hill to get my money. Who is running it now that he has died?

@@capriracer351 I havent been there since 2017 and didnt know that he died. I think there website is still up as of this year but dont know who is running it.

@@Lou99ws9 They were certainly running this year, and their Facebook page was being updated each week with the winners, but never heard who took it over. I think Lucky died last November.

All of what is shown on that shelf has been sold.. I have not attempted to sell the car yet. Probably will try in the Spring. I have a huge amount of parts that need to be listed though. Probably after Christmas, not much has been selling the past month or so. Here is what I have listed now: www.ebay.com/mys/active

They are just a common automotive ramp. You pull the vehicle up onto them to raise the vehicle.

I just use it as a garage radio now, but for many years I relied upon it to wake me up in the morning to get to work on time. Never failed me once!! Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you for the offer. I sold that and several other pieces of test equipment summer of 2018 since I had to have surgery on a torn rotator cuff. I knew I would miss a minimum of 3 months of work, so I was selling anything that I did not use on a daily basis as extra money. I wouldn't mind having another and have an active eBay search for one, but most that show up are for way more money than I am willing to spend for one. I disabled comments on all but my most recent videos when I came home from work and found that some idiot had made crude comments on all of my videos. He took offense to the fact that I threatened a pervert clear back in 2008 when he was making very suggestive comments about my kids that were in videos back then. The videos that I DO allow comments on must be pre-approved. Unfortunately, KZbin's notification system is broken, therefore I did not see your comment until 2 weeks after you made it.

I stopped using that tool bag a few years ago. It is still in my garage somewhere, but I found that for as many times I need to move from job to job in a day, it became a bit of a pain to unzip and zip the sides many multiple times per day. The one I have now is an open top design so I don't have to do that. I've had several people ask me about this bag the past couple years, so maybe I should do a short final video on it.

I’d love to see your new bag and all your tools setup in your new open top bag. Love the videos sir...👍👍👍

I'll be on vacation the end of May, maybe I'll bring my tool bag home and do a combined video of my old and new bag.

It is still in the garage covered with dirt. I have started to have quite a few health problems the past 3 or 4 years, so I may not do anymore racing. Not the slightest bit happy about that, but the money I spend racing, I might need in the future. Not fair to my wife, who is not going to be able to make anywhere near as much money as I do, if I either can't work anymore or end up not alive in the next few years to be spending thousands of dollars per year racing. I've done the electronics thing since I was pretty young also and in fact electronics is a part of how I make my living. I spend less money per year with the electronics hobby than I did with about 2 weeks of racing. It is not the same and I would much rather be racing, but sometimes you can't always have what you want.

Hi there i have a problem with my sherwood rv4050 i cant get to the radio it is in the FM /AM and i have connected to the antenna but still can't receive a signal from radio anyone can help? Thanks
