My point being that if non-professional people who have an interest in this old junk and the capacity to learn aren't helped and encouraged, it'll all be lost history in thirty years because no-one will know what to do with it.

Duh! You're right, I should have said "smeared" as "low passed" is not that clear to non engineers. Good point.

Wow, i thought this thread was supposed to be about a filament transformer, and not a pissing match between the technically-challenged and experts?
My 2 cents: As far as "unrepairable", Take a TV thats a throw-away, say a cheapo LCD TV. Lets say the panel is bad, and the TV is not under warranty. Lets say the TV is a 32" the panel costs say, $700 bucks shipped from china. Is the TV worth it? nope, so technically its "unrepairable" Thats just one scenario, there are many others. |

Eh, don't sweat it. Since I belong to the "technically challenged yet perfectly willing to take a 50/50 shot of blowing it up" crowd, I don't think that anyone's going to bash anyone too hard. I think that those in my club have made a valid enough point in this thread....

Phil, It's hard to agrue with anything you've said and to a degree I know your right. I also know your saying them tongue in cheek. The thing that make this hobby what it is is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I know I have some sets that wouldn't amount to much with a serious collector but the fact that I like them is enough for me. If I was only interested in the rareness or monitary value of an item I wouldn't be collecting old TVs. |

Thats pretty much the way it was when I was in collage as well. from 04 to 06. But on the flip-side, there was a team trying to restore a hallocrafters electrostatic set, and a philco 39-140 radio as a capstone project.
