Thanks for the offer. The current plan is to retain everything as-is (even the stuff that is "cheesy".)

@ maintenance for this classic I should say for this classic unless your doing it yourself?!! If not I can handle the task!!!

I agree. I'm always asking, "whatever happened to ..." Unfortunately, most of those builds went to the boneyard. But who knows... maybe more will come out of the woodwork.

Thanks for watching!

Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

Good luck with your project. I had a couple of HK's in my corvette around 1985.

Thanks a million! I am so glad you enjoyed the project.

It's getting there... you left out 4... 5... 10023 ... 10024... I never knew how many things could just go bad.

The amp rack is heavy. But its balanced and that allows it to spin with relative ease. Originally, I was going to use a pneumatic motor, but everything I looked at turned too slowly. I like to "spin" it fast!

Thanks for watching!

The Etak is probably priceless. I am working on it now. I got it to power up but there is a problem with the switching power supply... makes audible (physical) noise, and the display also looks "fuzzy". I found the inventor's name on the Internet and I'm trying to contact him for schematics and a service manual. I'll probably have to do it the hard way and just replace the electrolytics and maybe the transistors. Or, maybe I'll replace all of the components in the PS.

Will do.

That's the plan!

I agree. I was worried about the VHS tape media, but it seems ok.

Thanks. If it's not asking too much, it would be great if everyone here could share this video.

Thanks! I'm afraid I'm going to need to remove the amps for refurbishment. That will be a job.

@wayne_harris I guess you'll have to. The capacitors as you said. Make the butthole pucker when you turn them on. I guess being on Texas. It's different than being in NY. Major temp and humidity changes. Plus you upgraded the OEM capacitors correct? Either way yeh they probably need attention.

@@wayne_harris thank you so much for your time. Look forward to more content.

@@wayne_harris but I love car audio I knew about your car. I remember saving all my money for mmats procast 12s and Orion hcca 275g4 that blew up. About 7 years ago I got in touch with Steve mantz. He rebuilt it for me. I think he's English. His accent on the phone was hard to follow. But he told me "if it's Orion, it's fryin"

You pretty much sum up the story of my life. My motto has always been "no regrets." Do what you love to the best of your ability and go the extra mile.

@wayne_harris thank you very much. I just watched a video of a guy with a great system. Someone commented that it's a waste of money. And to think of their future. I'm like are boats a waste of money? Hot tubs? Motorcycles? Yes maybe. But do what you love. If it brings happiness. Then do it. Thank you for your response. I look forward to watching you bring it back to life. You've inspired so many people. Born in 85. All my friends and I spent money on speakers and Amps. Instead of drugs. And I still love the integration of home audio and car audio.

The navigation system is made by Etak. It was a navigation system that used a combination of map correlation, dead reckoning, and an electronic compass. There are about 100 magnets (more or less) on each of my two front wheels. Sensors pick up the pulses when the magnets pass a coil to determine the distance travelled. This is combined with input from an electronic compass. The results are compared to map data. I really hope I can get this working. The company is out of business since 2000. It powered up when I dropped it off at Austin Speed shop, but it did not power up when I picked it up. Also, the system uses data cassettes, and I worry they will break. I'm going to take my time with this unit.

@wayne_harris my cousin is also a private pilot. He would love this. Id love to see videos on that system. Besides the complete engineering of the audio system. Having this level of navigation in a vehicle at that time is a modern marvel in itself. And deserves attention. Looking forward to seeing your progress! Thank you for taking time to reply to me. I appreciate it. I hope you are proud of your achievement. One last question, Did you ever think almost 40 years later, Terminator and your work would have this much impact? You talk to anyone that's my age or older now. They all know the car. I mean you knew the car was awesome. But did you think it's legacy would still give goosebumps today? I'm so happy you preserved it.

@wayne_harris basically speaking you made a wheel speed sensor before they were really a thing. Well I'm sure they had them. Abs I can't remember when abs became standard at the time. But during the Terminator time. I don't believe abs was that well known let alone an option or now standard equipment. I'm sure I'm missing some technical stuff but amazing. I can't wait to see more!

Thanks for watching! I have been fortunate to find a career in something I really enjoy.

I think you forgot bailing wire and chewing gum. :) Thanks for watching.

@@wayne_harris I did!

Cool! Check out some of the dBDRA highlight videos from that era at kzbin.info/aero/PLS6RwyEwqJe4UCklLZww5SVlEOXW1rg7h

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for watching. Stay tuned. I am having a "blast".
