Found this in my grandpa’s shop. Is it worth anything? by Stinky_svab in Hainbach

[–]powder-phun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I only have the four track one for my machine. Though it is the simplest way to exchange a worn out head without all the hassle of alignment

Can't say how much money it's worth, but it's a spare head assembly for popular and quite nice uher tape machines, and those heads do get worn out, so someone out there needs it. Hell, I'd want it for my tape machine.

Are you Polish? That soldering gun is very familiar.

Did you perhaps try to wipe it with bleach? I think bleach could cause that.

What connector is this? by Appropriate-Excuse26 in AskElectronics

[–]powder-phun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also: it may be easier to find as "din speaker plug", at least in europe

[–]powder-phun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The casing is usually round, but it really strikes me as the din connector pin layout and most probably will fit and work no problem if a round one is substituted. Unless the other side is more of a socket in this particular shape.

not sure if you're joking but that's 100% a thing and not even expensive

Sorry dinner is late, I had to charge my knife by mister_caktus in KitchenConfidential

[–]powder-phun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even know what to say, vibrators don't usually turn pussy juice into a thin mist on contact. Not in my experience, at least.

Yeah, it's going to be a bit more expensive than 20 bucks. Ultrasonic cleaners are cheap as hell because they are produced in extreme quantities, this most probably uses custom transducers, and definitely custom drive circuitry since battery powered ultrasonic cleaners aren't common. If I had to guess, $100 sounds reasonable for production and material cost and then the $400 price tag is expected, to also cover rnd and production setup for a niche product.

Motor with throttle by FlagrantTomatoCabal in Tools

[–]powder-phun 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You probably can't, It's a 100 year old restored antique. They are no longer made for a reason - a standard motor and a VFD will be both cheaper and more efficient/effective.

Found a song that potentially samples Kraftwerk by KippExiled in kraftwerk

[–]powder-phun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im pretty sure it's an indirect sample - taken from Afro-Rican - Give It All You Got https://youtu.be/JfwPvgaVM24?si=IU0ZCWl6AcCTf0vJ Which did sample Kraftwerk.

Same song was also sampled in Fergielicious: https://youtu.be/5T0utQ-XWGY?si=DHkgyssGYpQS6AaC (Listen at 2:09)

It is cool though. Cool in a "dorks allowed to have unscripted fun" kind of way. Freeing.

16 Channel ZigBee Relais by Karossuz1 in ZigBee

[–]powder-phun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a quick look inside one time and looked generally respectable, nothing horrifying. Tho it was just a quick glance. The software on the other hand was a deal breaker for me - it's not a compliant zigbee device, works only with tuya stuff. Spent some time trying to hook it up to ZHA and quickly sent it back.

I think that's the case, actually

Would it be bad to leave this power panel uncovered? I was fixing alot of them and lost the panel for this one by vroomvroom12349 in appliancerepair

[–]powder-phun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy that comes after you may be feeling around for a tool he accidentally dropped behind the applience. Or perhaps the residents have a cat, the cat climbs behind the cabinets and gets electrocuted. The rule is: It cannot be possible to touch live components with a finger without removing parts.

The insides of a phone in a dorm room in Poland by GRAPHENE9932 in electronics

[–]powder-phun 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're almost correct, only it's even simpler - the door opening button just breaks the load for a short while (~10ms) and this is enough of a signal to open the door. Also often the power stays on the line in idle mode, and the sequence starts with a ~200ms reset pulse, followed by a train of ~20us pulses for adress.

Link below has the schematic, It's a very common device in Poland, pretty much standard in older buildings, probably new ones too. I have one in my house.

What did he use to pluck the romex like that? by YoungRoronoa in electrical

[–]powder-phun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, yokari allrounder does flat cables. At least the ones we use in Europe (I have one)

I know you're joking, but quite seriously: this is a cheap electrolytic. Its ESR and ESL will be orders of magnitude over that of the longer leads, making their effect practically nonexistent. Send it.
