LED'S USED AS RECTIFIER DIODES.....

Thank's with the help on the 6V Power Supply everyone. But, here's a question for the Engineer's here in this forum. I saw back in the early 80's, at this local Stereo/Television dealer. They were selling "Luxman" Audio Equipment. A pamphlet that was being given out to those who were inter...

Hi again, Would have been nice to know exactly which one of those solutions actually solved the problem...maybe the regulator alone would have done it without the need for anything else. Sometimes it helps to do one thing at a time and test it before going to the next trial solution. This way you k...

UPDATE: Well I have finished the rebuilding of the 6V Power Supply. I installed even more filtering at the 120 AC end with .22uf 250AC Polyester Cap's with a choke transformer, {They came from an old stereo amp I gutted out.} before going into the Primary winding of the 12Vac 1.2A {New} transformer...

Thanks for your suggestions and help everyone.:smile: I think I'm going to goto one of the local Electronic Surplus Stores and look for a 9Vdc or 12Vdc WallWart that has an output Current of 800ma or higher. Next; I'll install a 6Vdc Regulator, and add extra filtering to it. Hopefully this will end ...

I assume that your current wall wart isn't regulated. did it come with the set? did you ever run the set off of a WW without the interference? maybe a dumb question but does the set have a power input jack or are you hooking up to the battery terminals? I purchased the wall wart separately. I have ...

I see I didn't supply you with enough information. Ok.... 1) The Current Power Supply I'm using is A 120Vac to 6VDC 500ma output Wallwart. {Modified with extra filtering} 2) The hum bars show up when I use its built-in dipole antenna, or when connected to an external antenna. {So, I'm fairly sure it...

6VDC Power Supply.....

Does any one know of a good 6VDC power supply circuit? I have a Casio 2.5" Color LCD Television that I use a 6VDC Power Supply with it. But even after filtering the 6VDC, I still get the 60Hz hum bars. I've been looking for a SMP type, but I'm not seeing anything in the 6VDC range. The current ...

UPDATE: Well, I took a part the charging base for one of the phones and made a horrible discovery. :sad: The contact points of the charger where the phone sits on the charger base has 6 VAC on it! Which means the AC Voltage is rectified in the hand set! And there is no room in the hand set to place...

I see I forgot too mention a few things...... The Battery Packs are in the Phones themselves when they are sitting on the charging base. So a Quote:"Temperature meters you buy at WalMart and tape it to the cells." Is out of the question. I have found that when then packs are fully charged,...

Battery Charged Indicator........

I have two Cordless Phones that use 3.6V 700ma Nicad Battery packs They both work fine. But they burn up battery packs in about a year or less. The problem is mainly charging. You put the phone back into the charging base and it shows that it's charging. But not the condition of the battieries. I ca...
