Tattle-Tape hardware
Oct. 1st, 2019 01:52 pmWork is getting rid of their vintage Tattle-Tape machine and it has parts I would *love* to take home and work with, except I can't work with them right now...
Six *big* capacitors, wired in parallel. Two *huge* capacitors wired in parallel. one big transformer that looks to have more straightforward connections than the big toroidal one I have.
Also, in the giant pile of abandoned stuff we cleaned out of lockers, there was a nice stethoscope. I joked about taking up safe-cracking and Harry reminded that we have a safe. So I spent ten minutes or so listening to it and then read this. I wish I had to time to go through this process and try and open it; it looks like a ton of fun!
