I had a Weller gun exactly like that too and miss it too. The project's coming along nicely! Stay well, Chuck.

Thanks Paul. I've got a much newer Weller gun too. But that old one just beats the pants off it in build quality and speed of heating and I reach for it first every time. Also, if someone wants to borrow a soldering gun, I had them the new one. I should get a junk Harbor Freight gun for that. Thanks for watching Paul, take care of yourself!

I just ordered two of those and same as you I can’t find much info. In my case they’re for radio control scale trucks. Boy am I glad you had good results lol.

I like the sound quality that little amp has unfortunately even though the vendor that sold it to me said it can take 24 volts when I connected it to my 24 volt drill battery and then I ran a frequency sweep within four seconds the thing caught on fire and the op amp exploded because there's zero heat sink on it and apparently it's not made to take over 12 volts so no thanks to the vendor it only lasted me a day but what little bit of practice I did get with it it sounded very nice

Well, look on the bright side. It was cheap and you got to blow something up! That's a win/win in my book!

2 years later, what's your perspective? I bought a Broan-Nutone bathroom fan and it's bluetooth module doesn't want to pair anymore. They gave me a refund and told me to keep it. Pulled it apart and dumped the firmware, but I can't find a similar module, was probably OEM from qualcomm, so I was looking at this to hijack the internal 9V supply and "fix" it with this board from Amazon, but figured I see some videos if it was going to be reasonable or blow up.

Mine still works, but the vehicle it's in has been a project and has only been drivable for the last couple of months, so it's not like it's gotten a lot of use. That being said, it does exactly what I want and need it to do, which is let me use my phone in place of a radio.

The little clamp things i like, but i put some solider on the wire so it doesnt crush. Minics solid strand wire.

A practice generally frowned upon these days, though you still see it on a lot of Chinese products.
@3rdpig2 жыл бұрын
Yea, you're really not supposed to solder wires that go into them, although I've done it in the past. I've got some bootlace ferrules and a crimper, I really like them and will use them in this case.
@chickensfloat74272 жыл бұрын
Ah ok i didnt know that was frowned apon. I tend to solider everything. Even crimps on a car i cut the plastic off, crimp then solider the wire to the crimp then heatshrink on top because here in wisconsin they put so much salt any crimp will cause trouble with corrosion. This liquid salt too they started using the water dries and salt powder is left all over the road. Jeep gets covered with it even just going 1/4 mile down the road, it creeps into spot welds and rusts the jeep away and it coats the engine bay with it so everything rusts.

I dont claim to be a professonal. Like my dad im a jack of all trades, master of none, i solider them, never said it was the right thing to do 😂

Just looked them up, ima have to give those a try somtime. Probably would work better for that clamp type application as solider is very maluable.

what current did you power it? and the voltage is 12v?... i cant get mine to power the speaker, i think its the fault of low current although the blue light does turn on

The stock CJ-7 fuse box has a connector for the radio, which is what I used, but its not fused. I doubt they intended the radio to be more than 3 to 5 amps. Ive got an inline fuse in mine, I think it's 5 amps.

There's a link in the cards for my full build for what I call my "poor man's laboratory power supply" and I'll put it below as well. It's an inexpensive DC to DC boost or step up converter, available on Amazon for under $10. In the video is a link to the one I used as well as the banana plugs and a link to the thingiverse part I made to mount to the power supply. Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZiQnGqmhsaGoJo
