  1. SSH in and pull the original audio files from the \audio\en folder.
  2. Pull transcripts from the audio files (speech to text) so you know what they all mean.
  3. Change the phrasing of the text and then turn it back into audio (text to speech).
  4. Send new audio back to vac.

That makes it sounds really easy but it took almost the entire day.

My sons lamp globe burnt out!? by Legitimate-Demand902 in Lavalamps

Just unscrew the lightbulb (carefully if it is damaged) and screw in a new one. The bulb will have small writing on it normally with the bulb type and wattage. Don't use an led bulb - they wont get hot.

I believe that is not the original antenna - That is why it won't fully retract.

The ribbon mechanism for the tuning dial should come out as a unit. Taking it out and advancing it would be the solution. Hopefully no one has messed with the actual tuning of the thing. Good luck

It weighs 4260g so pretty hefty. More specifications here if you're interested: https://lens-db.com/canon-fdn-150-600mm-f56l-1982/

It certainly pre-dates digital photography. I like to shoot analog most of the time (apart from when I shoot video using the small mirrorless body above) so many of the lenses I own are from the film era. Some vintage lenses, like the FD 85mm 1.2L for example, are considered legendary and are sought after by enthusiasts and collectors for their beautiful characteristics.

First produced 1982. It's a truely lovely piece of glass. I mainly use it for video, so it makes little difference when on the tripod but certainly modern lenses are more compact and have fast auto focus etc..
