An audio project?

Just undertook, well kinda agree to help MDZ to restore an antique phone. Restore as in making it 'useable' again...
Not much of a problem as telephone apparatus is purely 'electrical' stuffs,especially really old phone.. hahaha..
Plan A would be trying to make it work with existing 'electronics'.. which is just a handful of wires and coils, solenoids(for the bell ringer) if these fails, chances are they would considering the age.. will have to go with plan B..
Old antique phone on the outside, latest technology on the inside.. hehe. Will try to make or use the original bell ringer.. would be weird an antique phone with an electronic ringer..

Maybe JTA(JazzTech Audio) should venture into audio stuffs restoration works.. question is, ada demand ka? or worth the effort and/or returns?

Ah.. the ATOLL! I think the only amp that came close to it was the 40 watter AURA from B&W. Worth every ringgit you paid for it eh, MadZiZ?

Btw someone give me an old subwoofer driver from Altec. Still in good condition. I'll try get its parts list and enclosure design from the person. You want to experiment with it...free mah...?

Gabanyayaya said...

Why so worry...??? my job is simple one. Jazzy can finish 1 or 2 minutes. You can get ur phone settle in no time. We bring every thing and make it a community gadget servicing day.

jazzy939 said...

GBY,
You make it sound so simple and easy!.. You make a great salesman! Hahahhaa..

Gabanyayaya said...

i wish i am....but no la. i'm not good at persuading ppl.

i guess you guys busy this saturday arrrr....

now not only my cdp 'broken' but also my amp just went dead yesterday. now no more hifi for me.

detnator is my only hope bro...:(

jazzy939 said...

GBY,
Alamak kesian nya!
Tell you what, I can give you the Det'nator in a 'temporary' casing. When the real deal is ready, it's just a 'skin' change. Would that be good? Err what about your 'source' then?

Gabanyayaya said...

good idea. this can be trial run for detnator with my system. jazzy bro just tell me when can i take this so called prototype detnator????

this weekend end can la.....

about the source...its just a solder fix la....simple....

jazzy939 said...

GBY,
Need to go to JP to get some stuffs.Plan to go this afternoon. Then after quick test, you can pick it up. Oh that's the soldering thingy that you asked me to..?No problemo.
