We had the exact same one. We lived in Brooklyn and I loved that thing growing up. I still believe it had the best, deepest sound of anything I've owned ever since.

I just acquired a Blapunkt Arkansas 58 console and would love to get it serviced (not working, powers on). If anyone can recommend a source in the Philadelphia region (or NJ or DE, I would be SOOOO appreciative). I'm striking out!

Thak you.

How did you get that center bolt off? It went by so fast!

I accidentally partially tore off the "intensity" knob with a violent move and initially re-soldered the same selector back to its board. At first, the result seemed perfect, but when I pressed it, instead of performing the displayed menu selection, the oscilloscope's reaction was to split the screen, exactly like when you press the large time-base knob, and it also selected channel 4, just like when you press the button CHN4. I thought it was a problem with the rotary switch and replaced it following your excellent instructions with one from Bourns (USA), Type: PEC11R-4215F-S0024, an apparently exact replacement. The result was the same behavior as before: the rotating part works fine, but when I press the "intensity" knob once, the two described functions are selected simultaneously. The only explanation I have now for this anomalous behavior is that the switch function connection is messed up, and I wonder how to fix it. What would your advice be, do you know how to get the related schematic to check the connections with an ohmmeter? Could I somehow verify if the original connections have been swapped with others just by inspecting the board? Backlighting it? What I see could be the result of something else besides bad connections? Should I try reloading the instrument's firmware? Is it possible?

I have a larger model of a Blaupunkt that I inherited from my grandmother after she died. I can't for the life of me figure out how to work it, wether it works, or a place near me (Minnesota, USA) that repairs these. I'd love to get it working again or at least convert it to a modern stereo with any salvageable parts. Would anyone here be able to help?

How to set Dc supply at 24 v

Were these made on contract by Reed ?

Today I changed all the encoders of my Rigol DS1074Z with 24 indents. Now it better to select items because of indents. Part number I used Bourns PEC12R-4220F-S0024.

Thanks for the video! I recently acquired a 574 and it's fun to see what others have done to restore them.

Did you ever film the turntable repair?!?

Thank you! After safely returning from the field where the little guy was perched perilously on top of control cabinets, I dropped it 18” onto a carpeted floor and broke the trigger encoder. Your video certainly aided the disassembly, but I’m most thankful for the encoder part number. While I found the non-detent encoders a little annoying, I would’ve never bothered to take it apart solely because of them. Now they are all replaced, and everything is better than new. Thanks again!

I think one issue could be that you are not reflowing the joints with fresh leaded solder before desoldering. old solder will not melt as well as fresh one. plus, this is probably lead-free solder, which makes it even less easy to melt. last, you should try not to cover too much of the solder to remove with the iron tip, or it will block the sucking of the solder underneath it making the desoldering incomplete.

Thanks for the video. My switch broke off, good to know others have replaced the multifunction switch

Dog Face Maker ever thought taking apart a Russian paper in oil capacitor before do a review vs ones you take apart in this video what one think is built better of 2?

Unbelievable power supply. Runs radios with 22 amp peaks on SSB without any problems. Quiet in respect to emissions. Own two of them.

Nicely done review! I have the same PSU that has started giving me some trouble - when I press the output button for a preset voltage/current, channel 1 goes to 0V, 0A. Any idea why this is happening? The other channel works just fine. I don't see the OV protection coming on either

Does anyone have a part number for SMD indexed encoders used in newer scopes like my DS1102Z-E?

Got a question for you. I see that each variable channel has a +/- out. is that positive and negative voltage? So good for audio applications like stereo amplifiers and eurorack synthesizer modules? How do you hookup a normal positive volt circuit with this compared to one that needs both +/- 12 v?

Why do not they install optical encoders instead of mechanical .......!!!!!!

Just bought this exact one, I call it the rhinoceros...Nice work BTW

I like this. I am interesting in restuffing the old ones so they look origional in my devices.. disk cutter, wollensack reel to reel.

Stop the shaking and roll get another solder sucker that really works..

So if you tested a cap from a vintage radio and it tested good. Would you replace it? Test all night and day if you want to, its still a vintage cap and guaranteed to fail , probably as soon as you button up the radio.

Team, my ass! It was invented by an overweight nerd living in his mothers basement

Better yet invest the $$ you piss away on the internet.

Fantastic -- this is exactly what I was looking for. Love my DS1054Z, but that knob just bugged the heck out of me. Unfortunately that part seems to be out of stock at all of the parts sellers I checked, as well as Amazon, but I was able to find them on eBay. Thanks for the video!

Thanks

Thank you for the tutorial! I just acquired this very same vise from my sons father in-law. How do I determine the date of manufacture??

Is It old, or that seams like a fake one? The font is not right

Bellissimo video e sopretutto utile, putroppo il link di amzon non e' piu' disponibile. Penso che lo faro' pure io. Grazie

Your gesture is not correct. Your ss-02 has air leakage, the soldering iron can't work, and the heating is not enough. I have no problem using ss-02. It's easy to use.

How can i get this project

Hi very interesting project.

Do you sell these kits for the real diff lock mod?

Not good voice

Very logical vice to have keep those vintage relics coming on restoring very relaxing!! Bye shipmate!!

I see the coil feed, and a pair coming back from the contacts, which I'm assuming is somehow series'd through all the contacts, and the program is looking for contact change of state at it's input, when ever it's energized. Just curious how it knows which contact is bad? Or is it just one set?.

excellent video. i recently bought a c-3 so timing is perfect. ordered 1626 & 1629 tubes. am gonna check resistors & replace caps. did you buy your caps from heathkit ?

Great Job...Nice...

Hello buddy, how are you? Do you have any heathkit condenser checker to sell? I live in Brazil, here it is very difficult to find. Best regards!

What would you use that ohm box for?

I always wanted to know how all these parts and pieces worked together and how they connected. This is really amazing Dog Face. It’s incredible how you used an old garage door opener for that purpose. Incredible.

You can soak the leather pump cups in neatsfoot oil as Coleman recommends for their lanterns

Nice job and video 👍🏼 I have the same vise, have used it daily for nearly 30 years in my motorcycle shop. I’m curious how you dated your vise? Birtman Electric acquired the original vise company in 1930 and produced vises through the late 50s.

Any other advance technology to prevent spike?

Great vice !!!

Anyone know how to tell the build date of a Rock Island 574? My son gave me a nice one, and I cleaned it up and painted it today and mounted it on my work bench in my new shop. Looks real nice. Looks like it may have been made in the early 1900's per the Rock Island Catalog. Sold for $12.00 new. :)

I'm getting this in the mail. It was either this or a 2 channel 200Mhz Siglent. Did you happen to upgrade it to 100Mhz. If so how do you like it since the upgrade?

Thanks, I was having the same question.
