Got this from the free pile at VCFMW 2026, mainly for the female barrel jack. The cable with the barrel jack is half as long as the rest of the cable.
Had the flash on by accident in the first image.
I don't think I've ever seen a radio with a "shortwave" band that covers these frequencies. The shortwave band on my Realistic Patrolman SW-60 actually ends at 18mhz.
I only really record stuff off of shortwave anyway so quality doesn't really matter to me
A while ago I got a Kodak Kodet No. 1 camera, it uses 620 film (Which I don't have any of), so I came up with the idea to load in a sheet of Instax Mini film in a darkened room and take a photo outside. I then brought the camera back to the same room and manually rolled the film through the rollers of a Polaroid OneStep camera (I tried using a rolling pin at first, it didn't work very well). I only really managed to get one decent photo, but it was a fun experiment.
It's slightly magnetic, but not as magnetic as it would be if it were made entirely of steel or iron.
Usually bells are made out of bronze or brass, brass is often used on smaller bells like this one. Sometimes bells are made of steel or cast iron, but I would think if this one was it would be more magnetic.
About the piece of cast iron (???), I found it laying on the side of the road. I have no idea what it's from, but a while ago it started to get really crumbly, and it wasn't like that when I found it.
I'm looking to buy some new belts for a tape deck that I have, do I really need to worry about the reliability of the seller/product (will I actually get the belt, is it the right size, etc.)?
I'm specifically looking to buy this kit, is this legit?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've never bought tape deck belts online before, or anything online at all for that matter.
You know how there's a thing called a thnickel (thick nickel), well how about a threcord (thick record) that's just a vinyl record but like an inch thick
