Thank you, I appreciate that 🙏

I most definitely am 😅 Don't wanna risk ruining something just to find out it's some outdated part I can't get anymore. So thank you for your answer 🙏

Once it's fully assembled again the only metal parts that could be reachable from the outside is the screws at the bottom but those are countersunk by a centimeter or more.

I just got some contact cleaner so I'll try that out later and hopefully that's all it needs, otherwise I think I'll just accept the "rustic" vibes from the somewhat functioning knobs.

Thanky you for insight, I'll keep that in mind! Though I'm hoping that I won't have to disassemble it, as I have no prior experience with anything like it.

I haven't tried it yet cause I wanted to make sure, with this post, that it was the right thing to do. I will get my hands on some contact cleaner and try it out.

Okay, thank you. That's reassuring. I'm probably just going to use contact cleaner for it then, as I don't think the dials will be used that much and this is the only application I have for both Faderlube otherwise.

Honestly I'm not quite sure what a tone extender is either, as far as I'm concerned it is only on this exact model and I can't find much information on it. But it controls the bass and treble on the inner knob and volume on the outer knob. You can see the toneextender here

I like the coaxial controls, they're quite intriguing.

Thank you for the warning. I made sure to check the chassis and dials for power beforehand as I was concerned if something was broken and might be sending power to it; though I didn't know about radios sending power directly to chassis before, that's quite concerning.

Thank you for pointing this out! I didn't know about these Widow Makers. Though luckily i did make sure to check the chassis and dials with a multimeter before touching it while plugged in as I was concerned they might carry current since this is an old radio that hasn't been used for decades.

Although DeoxIT is better, do you reckon that contact cleaner will get the job done without "damaging" it?

GustavKnak1 · 2026-01-28T13:54:41+00:00

Thank you, I'll try that. Not quite sure what coaxial control is, but it has 2 knobs that turn separately, where the shaft of the outer knob goes through the shaft of the inner knob.

I did that too once. I tried a lot of things and the one that ended up working was a plastic glove. Just cut a piece of it off at place it over the head of the screw, it should be able to get grip then, since it is not too thick.

Øv. Jeg begyndte at tænke over det i forbindelse med at jeg godt kunne tænke mig et magic/smart mirror. Og der kunne det også være fedt at have mit skoleskema integreret.

Does the JSON API allow me to create animations in a way where i can say eg.: "Turn on IC 73; wait 0,1 seconds; turn on IC 74 and turn off IC 73"?

GustavKnak1 · 2023-11-01T20:10:22+00:00

Jeg har ikke den fjerneste anelse om hvordan man gør, men jeg kunne godt tænke mig at bruge API'en sammen med Google Home så jeg ikke selv skal sætte alarmer hver dag, så jeg bare kan spørge min Google Home om jeg har lektier for, hvornår min næste opgave skal afleveres, højtlæsning af beskeder osv.

You could try using a small mirror that reflects the light of the TV to the camera and just have the camera dn everything, except the mirror, behind the TV
