I had never seen this thread. Fantastic work. @Engineer8000! I’ve been really curious about installing toggle switches on the 60 Series emissions computer for switching between automatic control (stock) and manual defeat of some systems, such as the EGR VSV signal. Ever given though to something like that?

I recently sold @ChaserFJ60 a Toyota-branded Fujitsu-Ten cassette deck that’s a bit of a mystery. I had it working up to the point of finding the pinch roller damaged. Couldn’t find an appropriate replacement, but now that it’s in Chase’s hands maybe you could help!

Oh, the Dukes of Hazard orange unit. I have one of those in my truck. 86021-00003

Nice! What we’re they out of originally? @ChaserFJ60 might need pinch roller rubber if you have that.

I got as far as replacing belts and lubricating everything, and certifying that it passes sound.

Several generic size pinch rollers are available, might get lucky with that. I think they were used generically in early 80s cars and trucks. I had one in my 81 mini truck.

I was told it came out of a mini truck, but I’ve seen photos of one in a late 70s Celica too.

For what it’s worth, it fits exactly into the “useless sandwich pocket” of a 60 series dash. The mounting bracket needed a slight tweak if so recall correctly, but otherwise it was a dead on flush fit.

I've been doing some hi fi work lately so I invested in this.

This is a 1kHz signal from my HP 8904A.

What’s the floppy disk on that freq analyzer for?

For what it’s worth I run an 80s Tektronix scope and my signal generator is a very old Heathkit unit with tubes inside. It always measures deadly accurate in both frequency and voltage output. I should probably recap and retube it at some point. Although the world lost another tube factory recently - even less supply of new ones.

@Engineer8000 I had a Heathkit scope like your Knight! Worked perfectly, but was difficult to read because there’s not much real estate on the display.

Now I have this Tek, which suits my needs for audio stuff

And here’s the tube-driven Heathkit signal generator. Again, it works for my very basic audio testing needs.

I really love old equipment. The way it operates and the way it looks. Here’s a resistance decade box I have. There was a grease pencil service mark on the back indicating 1944, so it’s older than that.

I also have what I think is a Navy-issue VTVM. It has a cover that seals it up water-tight. It’s still very accurate, though I don’t use it - it and the decade box are shelf decorations.

Just read through this entire thread, and must say "Quite impressive." Not only the equipment but the education and experience to operate all this stuff. Thank-you for your analysis and repair of my wiper relay/timer--most appreciated.

We are all very fortunate to have an electronics expert within our group. Thank-you for sharing a bit of the work you do !

 

[Wadesters]

Wow! That is fantastic thank you very much! Let me know what I owe you. Much appreciate your expertise.
