Then buy six new proper speakers and play it as loud as it can go. My current plan it is recap (it needs new caps) the Super Six and replace the speaker baffle with one that holds six 10 inch speakers like it is supposed to have. What someone did was replace the speaker baffle and replace it with one that could hold four 12 inch speakers. The Quad Four is supposed to have four 12 inch speakers. The Super Six is supposed to have six 10 inch speakers. The patching and configuration work will continue until security improves.Įcklerwr1 I found the Super Six in a pawn shop many years ago. My radio room will be in the back of the center garage. My office will be in the front of the house on the right. My wife and I are building a new house that will be ready next year. Soon, I’ll be moving out of this home office. Some equipment I’ve had for a very long time, like the Elecraft K2 I built from a kit in 2000, and others are current. On my right I have a large tall tool box filled with many specialized tools. Next to the rack I have two oscilloscopes, an isolated Variac, Heathkit Tri-Power supply, a Heathkit FM Deviation meter, and an old clock radio. In the rack from the bottom up is a 50 Amp 12-volt power supply, an HP 331A analyzer, a mixer, a Samson power audio amplifier, a Heathkit IM Distortion analyzer, a Heathkit Harmonic Distortion analyzer, A Pioneer RT-707 reel-to-reel tape recorder, a tripplite switch console, a DVD Player, a VCR, a HD Audio AM/FM receiver, and a Heathkit FM Stereo Generator. The rack on my left started out as a 21-inch-wide rack. Repurpose, recycle, and reuse is really a geek credo. The thermometer in the room is part of an industry controller I used in the 1990s to keep a radio transmitter stable. There are vacuum tube testers and spare tubes in here. Yep, I can even simulate a phone network to test old POTS phone equipment. There’s test gear here for vacuum tube, solid state, and computer-era equipment. There’s a guitar in the building I use to test effect pedals I build from bare boards using the finest components I can buy. The old Radio Shack receiver was my Elmer’s (Elmer is an amateur radio term for a mentor) who is SK (Silent Key). Yes, that is a Novell Intranetware Clock and a Pignose guitar amp. The Sun Microsystems keyboard and mouse were salvaged from a trash can the Yaesu FT-450D HF radio and Icom ID4100 DStar VHF-UHF radio were both won this year in radio club raffles. The best part is that I’m out of the house. I did buy a new chair to be all-day comfortable. I have two 27-inch 4K monitors, a repaired Cherry keyboard connected to my work laptop, and dock.

It’s outside the home and has an internet Ethernet connection, plus it is fully insulated, heated, and air conditioned. The building is a mess but it’s made a really nice home office. In this building, I can build/repair many vintages of guitar, radio, and electronic equipment. When finished, I filled it with my hobbies and stuff. I found some heavy-duty shelving in a dumpster driving home one day…and filled my SUV with all I could grab. The primary work table is an eight-foot-long solid core door that I can stand on to get to the higher shelves. Knowing I have lots of stuff, I built it with a nine-foot-high ceiling. Not having a place for my pursuits, I used my skills learned in the construction trades to make a place in the backyard. So, I needed a place to work that’s not in the house.Īlmost 20 years ago my wife and I moved into our current home. By the end of the week we were both cranky. So like many others, I went to work at the house.Īt the house, there was an issue. I started a new job in February 2020, and in early March, the new company moved the majority of the people out of the office. The Geek Clock is available for $25 from Uncommon Goods.After over 20 years with the same company, I changed jobs. The bartender says, “You’re all idiots,” and pours two beers.ģ – A unicode character XML “numeric character reference.”Ĥ – Modular arithmetic, also known as clock arithmetic, is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers “wrap around” after they reach a certain value.ħ – Repeating decimal that rounds up to 7.Ĩ – Graphical representation of binary code.ĩ – An example of a base-4 number, which uses the digits 0, 1, 2 and 3 to represent any real number. Its value is now known to be exactly 1.Ģ – A joke in the math world: An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. On the Geek Clock all the numbers have been replaced by the equivalent notation, have a look at the photo below and see if you can work them out, cheat sheet after the break.ġ – Legendre’s constant is a mathematical constant occurring in a formula conjectured by Adrien-Marie Legendre to capture the asymptotic behaviour of the prime-counting function.
