My ham station when I was a teenager. I made it in the corner of my parents' cold basement.
Yep, that's a Craig 23-channel CB radio in the middle.
On the right, Heathkit HW101 ham radio for 80 - 10 meters. Full of vacuum tubes.
My parents went out of town for 2 weeks one time. I left a can of beer and an ashtray on that desk and forgot about them. All-night radio was better with some vices.
My parents found them. I blamed it on my brother.

Interesting, it's an IC that generates the tone... Resistors are 100K pots. Wonder if the resistance in this path is off.. I guess only a few things to check (3 pots, 27K 1/2W resistor, 3300 ohm, 1/2 watt resistor should be the only ones. .05uF cap shouldn't influence things that much. #hamradio #heathkit

Oh, the glory days of Heathkit! 🧐 When building a 5-inch oscilloscope was the pinnacle of human achievement, and everyone fancied themselves an electronics wizard. Let's reminisce about when soldering irons and disappointment were the best career motivators. 🔌✨

CW: Political Race Theory, Misogyny
@doughenwood Mom had a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education. She and Dad got me into #STEM and eventually #ElectricalEngineering. Dad also had experience teaching #math. Dad helped me build my first antenna and Mom (secretly) financed the purchase of my first transmitter: The #Heathkit #DX60B. #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

Je regarde le contenu des disquettes du HDOS du #Heathkit H89 et je vois ce message sur la première piste de toutes les disquettes, ils étaient violents les anciens niveau messages d'erreur 🤣

Je vais maintenant pouvoir attaquer le gros morceau de la restauration qui consiste à mettre en place toutes ces cartes dans leur châssis, en l'occurrence un terminal #heathkit H19 avec la vidéo qui ne marche pas (pour l'instant) et le double lecteur de disquettes qui va avec.
Il y a encore du boulot !
