Electronic Tech Help Needed for Counter-Protests
5 March 2005 | Denver Ditdat

CQ CQ CQ -

Doctor Raoul has kindly asked if I would ping the Ham List in the hopes that a technically skilled Freeper may be able to assist with repairs to PA systems to be used in Freeps. Excerpts from his Freepmail appear below:

=========================================================

I have a number of Amplivox portable PAs. It may be that I'm not aligning the prongs on the battery case or perhaps corrosion. Have a schematic on bottom of case.

Need them checked out and then we can send them to people doing counter-protests.

I think it's possible to wire them up to a cigar lighter plug and run them from a car's lighter outlet.

Some of it worked at one time.

=========================================================

Any assistance for the good Doctor is much appreciated. Let's help keep one of our most active "Freepers in the Street" in the thick of things!

I would be willing to look at them, but I'm in Texas. Close?

BTTT for a good cause.

Doc, have you done any PM on the leads?

Take an eraser to the battery leads to clean them?

Also, are you sure these units are 12 volts?

I can take a look at them. Where are they located? How many do you have? What model p/n are they. If I can't figure them out I have a A/V tech friend who can help.

I'm at 15th & G NW.
