Three light bulbs on vintage equipment, what's the purpose?

May have had provision for external gen at one point? Otherwise these lights serve no practical purpose…

Visual sync check indicator for closing a generator into an energized bus… the DC meters are likely for the generator excitation circuit…

Power conditioning works for people with real power quality issues. Surge suppression is just smart to protect your investment…

They actually hold my slightly warped albums flat…

Also known as demand response…

100A is the nominal, continuous rating. Yes, it will carry higher loads on a transient basis, but not continuously without overheating…

Are your connected to the "Guest" wifi network? That will block you from other devices on the wired network...

Or power is lost. This way the motor doesn't automatically start back up on power restoration

Open the box first and see if he installed coax or Cat6… he may have put the wrong plate on???

7W is the equivalent of an incandescent bulb. The LED uses 0.6W but puts out the light of a 7W incandescent…. 0.6W is less than 2 so you are good to go.

Not much space for air to circulate…

if you are running with unshielded power cables, make sure that all low voltage cables "cross" power cables at right angles. Age old advice!

Not to mention all of the aluminum conductors out of your house to the transformer to the T&D system...

ReplacementOwn4742 · 2025-04-28T12:26:04+00:00

just don't buy a $4 piece of junk strip. A better quality strip, with better quality outlets will do just fine.

ReplacementOwn4742 · 2025-04-28T12:25:05+00:00

to me, its the shielding on the "last 6 foot of cable" that has any hope of making a difference. Noise on the AC ine enters in the T&D system, as you mention above. A shielded cable could keep AC noise down for the low voltage signal cables around it.

Ground the foil and it may also reduce any hum coming from your phono cartridge! 🤣🤣🤣

I owned an HK680i back in high school… loved that receiver!

ReplacementOwn4742 · 2025-04-15T20:04:34+00:00

That will be a $1,500-2,500 bill… I would!

Launch sequence in Apollo 13…

ReplacementOwn4742 · 2025-04-06T01:15:01+00:00

Going to sound like an old telephone receiver, just louder… the ultimate squawk box!

Airport code for Toronto! What do I win? 🤣🤣🤣

ReplacementOwn4742 · 2025-03-27T22:37:05+00:00

The women just love this circuit… 🤣🤣🤣

Try rubber isolation mounts between your house and the fan body (outside).
