For boosting the signal get an normal analog coax amp (1-4W for example) Plug the modulator into the input and plug a normal passive antenna into the output port of the amp, this works very well.

I can't 100% remember at this was over a year ago but looking at the video I think this one used a system where it flexes against a piece of metal. So if it's flopping open it could mean something is snapped or damaged inside.

@retro_restorations 20 күн бұрын
@@bluemo7253 I wouldn't over think it too much as most uv lights work. Just buy a size suitable for what you are doing. So if you want to do them all at once get a large one or you can get a couple of smaller ones. If it helps I was using two 6 watt 395-400nm wavelength LED strip lamps. It you are doing multiple controllers just remember the h2o2 gets "weaker" with use. So either have a big bath and do them all at once, or use smaller amounts of fresh stuff and do individually.

Hello Sir, thank you for putting this online. I have a WM-FX45 myself and today I very cautiously revised it following your video. All went well except for the Stop button After reassembly not working properly when the Play button is clicked down. The play button only partially pops up for some millimeters, but not enough to switch off. Now, during revision I found a tiny spiral shaped spring (it is dark coloured) in the cassette compartment that must have come loose somewhere. I figure it must have happened during the removal of the internal part from the case. Could there be a relation with this problem/where does this spring belong? I would love to hear from you (or anyone else who knows the answer to this problem). Thanks from The Netherlands!
@retro_restorations 26 күн бұрын
Hello! You are very welcome. If I had one to hand I would take a look inside for you but unfortunately I don't at the moment. Perhaps try pausing and zooming in on the video to see if you can spot where the spring goes. It sound like it should solve your problem once you re-fit it!

I'd suggest the aerial with "booster" is for boosting the received signal from the aerial rather than boosting any output you are feeding into it from the AV line , what you really want to use is a proper RF transmiter, the RF modulator you are using is only going to be a very low power as its output is designed to connect straight into a RF input to a device. Interesting concept and I'm surprised you got what you did from it but I think on this occasion you have got hold of the wrong end of the stick regarding RF modulators 😉
