I have a standard Lakewood duplex. I've owned it since 2018 and both kitchens have a bank of light switches by the door to the stairwell. The black switch operates the stairwell lights to the top and bottom floors but the other two in the top apartment and the other three in the bottom unit don't seem to do anything. Does anyone have a duplex where all of the switches do something and if so, what do they control for yours?
I've been seeing a lot lately about AI driven hacking. This random message was sent to me today and I blocked the number rather than replying to anything. Thoughts?
I had posted previously with my nice new RCA jacks a few days ago but this is a problem that existed when I got it. Most notably, when I have something playing back on my aux channel through a Bluetooth receiver and I switch over to either of the phono inputs, I get pretty bad bleed through from the aux signal. I replaced the four 47K resistors that tie from the phono input tips to ground and I've disassembled and thoroughly cleaned all four tiers of the input selector switch.
So my question for the sake of troubleshooting, I assuming I'm probably dealing with a loop coming back through the ground? The actual phono signal is isolated all the way to the first tube stage, so that seems to be the only place to find the audio leak, since the phono stage is such a high sensitivity. The bleed is mostly right channel but there is a smidge of it in the left.
I've replaced all the coupling caps.
I wasn't sure if this forum had techs on it but I thought I'd ask. It sounds fantastic on the aux channel but I really want to use the phono input and it's obviously not clean at this point.
If anyone is wondering, it takes about 5 hours of desoldering, Dremeling, drilling out, installation and resoldering. A marked improvement from the original 64 year old jacks.
I just acquired the C11 yesterday. They look very nice together and sound unbelievable. I just wanted to see how they sat together before taking the C11 back out to do a full rebuild. Lots of caps and probably a few resistors as the cross-talk on the phono channel is atrocious.
I inherited this from my mom. Unfortunately, it has no maker marks and seems to be around 1970s. Cast iron with porcelain, about 14" handle to handle and around 3.5" deep. So pretty big. Without a lid, not really for braising and a little too deep for paella. Maybe open roasting? I use it for serving right now but it's a little too heavy to pass around the table. I've used it for a centerpiece or fruit bowl but I'm a user, not a displayer.
Anyone recognize and/or use one of these.
