The old one has been straightened, polished and waxed. It'll do fine for now.
N.B., the alert eye will notice that the microphone gain goes to 11.

STANCOR 10P UPDATE 4: LABEL
I made a perfectly enormous scan of the front panel label of my Stancor 10P, with an eye towards cleaning it up and having a local silkscreen outfit make a new one.
Alas, they're only accepting .eps files, so I'll have to pull it into Visio, draw over the top of it using matching fonts as much as possible, delete the scan image from underneath, save it as a .dwg, pull it into another drawing program that will read .dwg and spit out .eps, and haul that off to the silkscreen company, along with an accurately cut (and possibly drilled) sheet of aluminum and the original label for color matching. So that may not happen very quickly, since I have to beg time on the drafting/drawing software.

Do they mean that it has to be "real" postscript, with fonts, line drawing, &c., or that it has to be EPS? You can turn a TIFF/GIFF/whatever into an EPS. It will be enormous, and you need to be sure the conversion is in the resolution you want, but it will work. image magick will do it; so will the gimp. You just have to suffer a little to do it. Neither of them have user interfaces; they have user in-your-faces.
ReplyDeletePs: Email to wayne@databill.com if you want me to try converting it.

ReplyDeleteFor $2000 I'll build you one that goes to 12.
I thought it said "GRIN" rather than "GAIN"!
ReplyDeleteMicrophone gain or carrier gain ?

Noel: Mic gain. It's an AM/CW transmitter, made long before hams used SSB and a little early (and too simple!) for even "controlled carrier"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification; without going into a long discussion there were some experimental and commercial DSBRC transmitters (allowing some carrier leakage meant any AM rcvr would work)
