I also expect older TV...

Re: Greetings!

Broken rod and carburetor are unusual failures. A broken rod is unusual. But carburetor problems are quite common with 2-cycle Engines. If you run the motor dry, and then store it for a year or longer. The rubber gaskets will dry out, and can crack. Thus, a lot of old timers with chainsaws would du...

Re: Black Magic...Maybe

Yeah, Got to wonder how many good engineers we're told; "Don't worry about static, just make it as cheap as possible." by the Higher-Up's. Since they're thinking that the Laptops would be replaced by businesses in two or three years any way. Or the thinking of fixing it in the next revisio...

Re: GE Super Radio 3

I found this Manual/Schematic.
http://earmark.net/gesr/sr3_manual.htm

If you look at the schematic.
There is a test point (TP4) going in to IC 001 at pin 2.
Maybe you can tap in to that?
