Awesome.. will do.

@Engineer8000 I just joined the forum so I can (hopefully) give you some business. But more importantly, how is everything for you after Helene?

We are fine, the bulk of the storm moved West of us. We had some wind and a little rain. Nothing like PTC8 tho.

You never know what you will find when you open up these old radios.
cleaning
after cleanup and return to service, this one also had some bad solder connections on the circuit board

Have been watching a few of the Roadkill shows lately. The junk yard gold show is the latest I'm working thru. A lot of good general motor head info.

Not tech but took the 20lb cat to the vet this week in the dog carrier. Don't tell her.

Looking for connectors recently, I ran across this 1P terminal that is used for the oil pressure sender.
PN 6190-0516 or 12015306
PN 6190-0516 or 12015306
I'm assuming a bunch of different models of Toyotas used this connector. Thanks for the p/n. Good to have a spare, or two, of these.

I've been working on this lately, for testing the RS3000 Security Control. I have some switches on order for the inputs, a buzzer, and speaker for the glass break sensor.

I know this radio. It was a customers of mine. When I did the build of his 40 I opened it up to find this below.
I’m not an electronics guy by any means but i
cleaned it up and had it working well. Crazy that it succumb to the same fate again in only a years time.
Thanks for bringing it back to life once again!

It was still working intermittently. I always tear these down to bare case and clean up, you never know what is lurking below.
Mud Dauber Life cycle, they like black widows:
Mud daubers undergo complete metamorphosis, which means they pass through four stages during their lifecycle – egg, larvae, pupae (cocoon) and adult. Depending on the species, they complete one or two generations per year. In the spring, overwintering pupae develop into adults. The new adult females will construct nests comprised of mud tubes of varying sizes. Each mud tube is provisioned with several spiders that the female mud dauber catches and paralyzes with her venom. The female mud dauber deposits an egg on the first spider within each mud tube and then seals them with mud. The mud dauber larvae will hatch from the eggs and feed on the prey left behind by the adult female mud dauber. Then, the larvae will develop into pupae, a process that usually takes about three weeks. The pupae will spin a silk cocoon to overwinter until the following spring when they become adults.

Made more progress on the RS3000 test rig today.
Russ,
I have been working to figure out an ignition issue with my 1976 fj40. I was going to abandon my old ignition system and enter the world of full electronic ignition but have failed so far. The issue was intermittent with the eold system so I suspected the black box or semi electronic igniter. Do you test and repair those units? If so how can I go about having it repaired?
