| BIG HAUL |

I work at a radio station at my college, and I just dropped by today and found a HUGE pile of old audio equipment, odds and ends and whatnot, so I thought id share some photos. Also a question regarding the thing in the first picture, what the fuck is it? Looks like a giant capacitor with multiple leads, not sure how to even go about finding info on it. It was housed in a metal box thing with a very nondescript schematic inside, connected to two other capacitors. If anybody here has knowledge of audio equip, i'd love to know more.

That isn't a capacitor. It's a transformer. There should be a name and part number on it somewhere. Most of the rest well it's anyone's guess. Miscellaneous circuits. The thing with all the knobs might be an audio mixer but I can't tell without seeing more of it. But the last picture is of a cordless soldering iron, very nice. I have always wanted one but could never justify buying. |

Yeah the bulk of what I found was old pots and specially designed selector switches. The construction of the majority of the parts is very robust and serviceable, as well as aesthetically pleasing. The Iso-Tip is one of the gems of the haul, I actually have to go back tomorrow and see if I can find the tips. Also I found a ton of old-school resistors, far better than those chinese Ebay ones that bend into pretzels if you try to breadboard them! Most of the IC's are Op-Amps and voltage regulators, specifically designed for audio applications. |
