So true. I bring up two browsers. One I build in my max bid. Then when browser #2 hits about 5 seconds, I hit it with my bid from browser #1. This is faster than sniping services you can use.

I have read that the fabric is no longer made (repo). My friends buddy does restoration of cloth for old time radio fabric. He gently washes it in Woolight, then makes sure it does not shrink. I am lucky that this speaker has both the front and side cloth.

I just hope i do not have to live on top ramen and rice for a few months to afford to buy it. :-)

I found out it is made of mahogany. My friend who works with wood as agreed to look at it for me.

I will keep all of you posted. If I win it, I will post some photos.

Thanks everyone for the advice and help.

at each step, Im keeping my pitch hand still and just working the loop.

at each pause, I readjust the center coil just a degree or two, off axis. toward
the volume coil appears more square, and the wave rounds off into more of as a
sine as the coil is turned toward the other pitch coil.

glenlivet...

Jack,
The fabric on the speaker I bought had clearly spent too many years in a smokers house as it was
yellowed pretty bad. The grill fabric is stretched across a three sided frame made of plywood
that comes out of the speaker cabinet in one piece after you remove a couple of screws. Because
of it's age and condition I was a bit afraid to remove it off the frame. The cleaning procedure I used
that worked quite well was to mix up a mild solution of Oxyclean in a spray bottle, dampen it slightly
with the spray and gently pat it dry with paper towels. It took several times over several days but
Oxyclean has the advantage that you don,t have to totally immerse the fabric in water rinse it.

Charlie;

This is definitely one of those "I can't believe no one else has thought of
this" projects, and it's definitely something that I wouldn't likely be the
first to have if I let the cat out of the bag. Of course, KeppTheremins
folks will receive preferential treatment! Since there is software involved,
the first one will be the one that costs; after that, they will be much
less. Stay tuned...

Jason has asked again about giving us a spot on Thereminworld. Please let me
know what is important in your opinion. All of the website's bells and whistles
are not up and running yet, ie hosting photos.

I do not envision abandoning this spot on Yahoo, as it has served us well. I do
believe our group could possibly expand in number given the greater exposure.

Happy Belated New Year!

Subject: my RCA 106 speaker

arrowcw29

Folks...

The link I posted to the forum for the ebay"buy it now" speaker
lasted just minutes, then it was gone.  It had a fine case but the
fabric was worse then mine.  It also had a modern speaker in it.

I am of two minds.  My speaker is all original and in good shape.  I
am going to remove the speaker and look at the cone.  If the cone
looks OK, can it still be brittle and be bad? I should bring it to
Jamac and ask them I suspect. The rest of the speaker hardware looks
great.  I will post some photos soon.

I am of two minds and open to suggestions.  Should I rebuild my
original speaker and use it, or should I remove it and install a
modern speaker?  I have still not wrapped my arms around how this
speaker works. but I am sure I will "get it" after a while.

I have found a much higher resolution schematic of the RCA 103
speaker.  It is in the file area.  I suggest you down load it, then
use your "+" and "-" buttons in your software (once you have down
loaded it to your desktop) to enlarge parts that you want to read.

Thank you Charles for putting me hot on the trail for this.  It took
a while to find, but my eyes are getting older and I need all the
help I can get.

Subject: Model K tone- varactor pitch tuning vs old style variable cap

An interesting discovery....

Ya'll may be familiar with the tonal "eccentricities"  Ive been experiencing
thus far with my model k.   Miniscule repositioning on the center osc coils
would change the characteristics of the pitch drastically- from  "fly in a
bottle" buzzy - to a woodwindy/ jug band coo-   nothing sounding particularly
good.   the wave itself changing from square to sine, respectively.

On a whim (still trying to track down what is causing the pitch to drop with
volume)    I disconnected the pitch trim pot and wired in a variable cap like in
the mk1.
   As soon as it warmed up I was greeted with brighter,fuller,more complex,and
generally, way better sounding theremin- very similar to my mk1.  Dont know if
this the right word, but the tone is more "stable"- bumping the ref coil a
fraction of a millimeter no longer has any (obvious) change on the
characteristics.   Also- with varactor tuning- above and below zero-beat there
were different tones- with cap tuning the tone is the same regardless.
   Another observation of the varactor tuning...the pot response was non-linear.
The adjustments were much closer (scrunched up) when the pot was closer to
ground- more spaced out toward supply voltage lug-
Didnt effect overall playing linearity, just the pitch tuning- reacted like it
was an audio taper pot- 100% sure I used a 50k B.

Unfortunately this did nothing for the pitch /volume interaction.

In the days when smokers were common, their used to be places that
offered "Invisible weaving" to fix the mess that smokers made in the
form of Burn Marks.  I wonder if there are any of those firms still
around.  They could proably fix that one mark.

As far as the speaker, it is probably still usable, although I would be
tempted to bypass the rectifiers with a bridge made of IN4007s and a
perhaps a current limiting dropping resistor.   The speaker guy can
probaly tell you how good it is.

Advantage of the original is that it will sound more like the RCA unit
would have in the day.  If it needs reconing, the cost trade off may
make a Guitar speaker less expensive.

I am interested to know what the speaker guy says BTW.  when I moved 15
years ago, the nice mover when told he might get a shock off an old
radio which is sugested I put into a box, did not believe me, and put
his hand through the cone when the filter caps on the speaker frame bit
him.  The 1935 era "Victor Talking Machine" radio is not worth much,
particularly since it did not have a cabinet but it would be nice if I
could find someone who could re-cone it.

I know the conversation has come up several times in the past. I searched the group posts

Dan;

Good question. Depending on a number of variables. the pitch frequency is going to be around 200 to 230 khz, and the volume frequency around 450 khz. Don't forget that the antenna length will change the resonant frequency.

From Jason today; I guess he's been eavesdropping on our learned deliberations!!

"Hi there!  A quick note to let you know I've created a new forum on Theremin
World for the Keppinger group.

http://www.thereminworld.com/Forums/Topics/keppinger-theremins

I'm working hard on file uploads, photo galleries, and some other
builder-related features that I hope to have online by February.

Cheers!
Jason"

I encourage all of you to double post, and get some activity. Thereminworld has
a much larger distribution. Perhaps some of our sticky technical issues may be
helped by fresh minds.

Tnx

Philip

I highly recommend www.imgur.com for image hosting. Much better looking (and easier to use) than Flickr. I'd definitely encourage everyone to use that to host the images to put on the forum.

Jason will have photo/file hosting up and running on the Thereminworld site by
February, per his announcement.

Until then, keep posting your pix, files here, please, to keep down on the
confusion.

Kyle, can you post sound files of your Mark K, if its done, please?

Tnx

Philip

Okay, cool. And I do not yet have my Model K finished, though it is in the works. I have to go home and get my coil winder before I can fully finish it. I also need to order the larger coil forms from Red Arrow. The 1976 Fiat has been taking up a good portion of my time these days. I (well, my dad really, haha) spent almost $2k this winter getting some repairs on it. It's back on the road, but I still have a few electrical things to plug back in.

I got a powder coating gun for Christmas, so I'll see if I can powder coat my chassis for the K. Should be interesting!

I've been organizing all of my parts lately, and wow...it's definitely getting there, but it's a lot of stuff!�

My latest vacuum tube project is an RCA Radiola 18. All this talk about RCA speakers rekindled my interest in the Radiolas. And what do you know, if I don't find a Radiola at my local radio club a week later? The 18 is in good shape, but I'll need to find a matching speaker. Probably an RCA 100 would look good with it. The radio itself has not been plugged in for lack of a 71A, but I did power up the power supply by itself and it's fully functional.�

Now if only I could find a 1929 RCA Theremin... :)
