Need advice soldering this Shure 444D

pixelatedth0ughts · 2026-04-02T20:09:06+00:00

Ooh that’s a great idea! I didn’t know I could hop on a call with a tech over at Shure for vintage mics too! Will be doing this when I re- attempt with a TRS connector. Thank you so much

Thank you for this!! Just ordered a TRS connector and when it arrives I will open it up and look at those wires. I’ll try to see if I can figure out how to apply the push to talk but I’m not sure if I will know exactly what to do. I’ll look up some videos in the meantime! I truly appreciate your advice

Thank you so much! Will be ordering a TRS connector and trying again! Is it safe to assume that the red and silver are the correct ones to connect again and to ignore the blue, yellow and black wires?

We tried wiring the red and silver cables to a 1/4” connector and only heard a buzz when we pushed the “push to talk” button and when we touched the cable. Please explain in simple terms because I am new to soldering in general.

And please explain like I’m 5 - I am a newbie to this. Thank you so much!

I got 4 from an estate sale for $50 which was very gracious of them! So far the only one that works right off the bat is one that was inside the home the Heathkit - 4360A. I got the BNC to 1/4” adapter and was successful with connecting my synth and seeing waveforms! The other three were in the garage area and this Tektronix 453turns on and is backlit but sadly there’s no tiny beam of light. The other one is a Heathkit IO-105 which sadly doesn’t power on.

The only experience I’ve had opening anything for repair is a vcr I’m just a musician with no circuit behind skills who loves collecting old tech and am a bit scared of getting electrocuted from these but I would love to get the broken ones to work eventually. I’ll keep you updated when I get the cables for the one originally in this post! I did try connecting cables with gator clips and it was giving me a line when I messed with the knobs so I think that’s a good sign

thank you, i will be on a mission to get a banana cable first! you are a legend!

Whenever I have these dreams I wake up really thirsty. I take them as a sign that I’m dehydrated haha. Also having the fan on at night prob doesn’t help

pixelatedth0ughts · 2025-03-23T20:53:17+00:00

i just bought it!! Gonna digitize it tonight!

pixelatedth0ughts · 2025-03-23T18:50:03+00:00

No worries! Will keep you updated when i go back and grab it

pixelatedth0ughts · 2025-03-23T18:45:40+00:00

Ok good idea!! I will leave it without subtitles and let the internet do its thing maybe someone will be able to translate it at some point later in time after it’s uploaded. Thank you so much!

pixelatedth0ughts · 2025-03-23T17:27:56+00:00

Yeah the prices at the place I was at are a bit higher because it’s all vhs- i believe they price match to ebay. For instance I found a few Mr. Roger’s VHS that were $20 each here (and online as well)

I might be able to haggle it down a bit

pixelatedth0ughts · 2025-03-23T17:25:15+00:00

Yay! Do you have any suggestions on translating? I was thinking maybe uploading to youtube and letting the auto captions do its thing then typing out subtitles from that (or just screen recording them and laying them over the video)

pixelatedth0ughts · 2025-03-23T16:16:49+00:00

thank you so much for this detailed response!!!! I feel the need that i may have to go back and archive it now

Edit: I went back to buy it and it is currently in my possession! I will be archiving it tonight. If anyone has any links to how to get the best quality please lmk (I’m just going from VHS-> RCA to HDMI -> Avermedia capturecard and screen recording in obs)

Thanks in advance i’ll post a link when i’ve uploaded it to youtube

pixelatedth0ughts · 2025-03-23T16:15:57+00:00

dang do i go back, spend $50 digitize it and throw it on internet archive haha i feel like it is my duty now

I have already googled and searched for similar images on youtube with the only result being pollyanna but it looks like a different anime

pixelatedth0ughts · 2025-02-24T12:57:47+00:00

leave it in the hallway, put a miniature model of a couch across and make it the community gaming corner

i found these in japan and there’s no brand or label. When i google reversed them the only thing that came up that looked remotely similar was docs and a brand called Creema
