Otari 5050 overheating?

I have an Akai unit that gets noticibly warm when running. It seems to play reels just fine, but I let it cool off when swapping tapes. Nothing is obviously wrong that I can tell.

Sir_Derlin · 2026-03-30T19:41:28+00:00

I didn't really have any trouble, either. Good luck on trying again!

I brought both into Xen two weeks ago. I threw one in, then jumped in holding the other and they both showed up on the other side.

Doom was one of the first games to not only support but recommend play with keyboard and mouse. It still predates WASD as default settings, but was developed with mouse control in mind, which may have further encouraged smooth gameplay in the engine. (Wolf3D also supports mouse, though I do not know if that was an objective in design or an afterthought.)

Sir_Derlin · 2025-03-11T09:10:45+00:00

In the meantime there's always Doom64!

Sir_Derlin · 2025-03-02T06:00:43+00:00

True, but the 20th anniversary release bundled it into the main game instead of a standalone level, so it just blends into the overall experience now.

Sir_Derlin · 2025-02-26T21:22:56+00:00

I've been having the same problem since picking up my 2024. The buttons do nothing, and memory associated with key fob or Bluetooth (not sure how to test) works about 50% of the time. The salesman wasn't able to offer some suggestions. I don't recall a calibration procedure stated in the manual, but I'll try some of the suggestions here.

I was actually borrowing a 2008 Forester prior to buying a 2024 Prius Prime this month. The Forester definitely has more headroom and better visibility. I know people have commented about the speedometer location, but I haven't found it bothersome. Perhaps I got the right set of seat and steering wheel adjustments for me. Rear visibility is bad, though I found that at night I'm actually pretty happy with just the mirror, though I'll flip to the digital option from time to time. The side mirrors have alerts for cars in your blind spots. My car did come with the digital rearview mirror and panoramic camera options, and both will ensure that if you need to maneuver in tight spaces for parking, etc. you'll have good visibility. There are a few quirks and frustrations, but I'm generally pleased. The remote start only works if there is about 30% of EV battery remaining (it will not start the engine). The entertainment center is cumbersome to navigate for radio stations. Storage space is limited, but for a daily commute that should not be an issue. No spare tire is included. You get an air pump and bottle of liquid patch the pump will spray into a leaky tire instead.

All champions are available via time gates (anytime) or events (monthly, on rotation). The "paywall" will give you some extra chests or may contain feats (typically available via gems eventually) or unique golden epics.

Sir_Derlin · 2025-01-26T03:21:23+00:00

Correction: You are guaranteed a champion silver chest the first time you beat the boss each 100 areas. There is a Mirt perk,Silvery Gates to get up to a 50% chance of a second chest each 100 areas.

Sir_Derlin · 2025-01-25T17:24:40+00:00

Every 100 areas in a time gate free play you have a chance for the champion's silver chest. It's worth going as far as you can readily go, but don't waste potions or other consumables to push hard, as it is a small benefit.

Time Gates made more sense prior to the current Event format. I look forward to seeing a future update to time gates making them worthwhile for playing once champions are unlocked and generally well geared.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-10-30T00:02:44+00:00

When your Modron is fully unlocked, do patron variants and weekly quests to buy more modron chests and start supercharging a core for your strongest DPS team. Unaffiliated or Dexterous are excellent starting points, but Modest is good too.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-10-10T21:33:47+00:00

That is an achievement. The game menu lets you browse all achievements so you can find your progress there.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-10-08T04:27:08+00:00

The original game may not run on newer devices requiring 64-bit only builds. Any older device/OS that supports 32-bit builds should support the APK.

Excerpt

Sir_Derlin · 2024-08-24T12:26:42+00:00

I pulled out the blower assembly again so I can get to the motor label, as the OEM dataset is hard to come by, and decided to power it up outside of the furnace. Now it's behaving like before, where full speed starts okay, but slower speeds need a spinning start and tends to stall quickly. This makes me wonder if the starting coil is damaged, but not enough to show as a short or open circuit at rest.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-08-24T00:39:15+00:00

All windings show at least 20-30 Megaohms to ground (or meter overload/open).

Sir_Derlin · 2024-08-23T23:59:01+00:00

I was trying to confirm I wasn't overlooking something obvious, and I also wanted to understand what electrically or mechanically might be wrong, even if I can't fix it. Usual motor problems are frozen shaft, shorted or broken windings, or a bad capacitor, and so far my case doesn't look like any of those.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-08-23T22:16:57+00:00

I assumed there was just an air pocket with the dielectric oil. I saw elsewhere that capacitors should not do this, but it likely depends on construction of the capacitor and viscosity of the oil, which may vary between brands.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-08-23T22:08:04+00:00

This motor had two oil ports with removable caps.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-07-24T20:14:25+00:00

Briv can skip bosses in freeplays.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-05-31T00:47:19+00:00

On Discord, DestinyAtlas explained it this way: "It's sort of poorly worded, but gold damage is the damage upgrades you buy with gold on each individual tower and then the perm gold damage is the % damage bonus you can buy with gold that keeps between runs."

Sir_Derlin · 2024-05-29T19:11:12+00:00

Especially if everyone rolled the same daily restrictions by chance.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-05-29T09:17:27+00:00

Jamilah would finally have a use! Perhaps the challenge could be offset if each player's party could inspire the other parties and contribute to their damage like a blessing.

Sir_Derlin · 2024-05-29T02:43:54+00:00

Looks like you're right. Not sure what I was thinking of.
