my friend's grandmother passed away and i we were wondering just out of curiosity how much each of them would go for:

-"nestlea quick" tin from 1960's
-Sony radio, still working and volume goes LOUD from 1965.

thank you!

If mankind had evolved, as evolutionists claim, then why has mankind gone from writing upon stones to laser printers in just the past 3,500 years? Why didn't man discover ink a thousands of years ago?

There were NO planes, cars, computers, refrigerators, electricity, lights, gas, powered-equipment, telephones, recording devices, CD players, MP3 players, electric razors, televisions, record players, movie cameras, or a million other modern technological inventions--just a mere 170 years ago.

Civilization has advanced from utter primitiveness to incredible mind-boggling achievements in just a little over 100 years. So why didn't mankind discover any of this stuff 100,000 years ago for that matter?

Evolutionists today are just as ignorant of the truth of God's Word, and of common sense itself. It's hard to imagine that millions of people were dying from a simple lack of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) just a couple hundred years ago.

If evolution is true, then it took man billions of years to learn all these kindergarten lessons. And ironically, man has only learned these lessons in the past couple hundred years.

If mankind had evolved over millions of years, then men would have discovered these inventions a very long time ago.

The truth is that evolutionists are hardhearted against the truth of God's Word. The Word of God declares that God created the world at approximately 4,000 B.C

This is proof against evolution.

Will the haters be so angry at the greatest baseball player of all time that they will want to start a race war? That's my biggest fear. I mean white people hate Barry so much that they might go crazy and start looting.

Howdy;

I was going through my grandmothers old stuff in the attic and came across a unique, wooden radio. It's a Grundig radio, Model: 2540 U. After a little research, I found out it was manufactured in Germany, 1965. It was so dusty that I thought it wouldn't work, but to my surprise, it turned on right away, and the sound that came out of it was AMAZING!!! Nice lows and sharp mid's and highs. I was wondering if this is a valuable collectible, and if so, how much does one of these go for?

The thing in question is an antique Ace R/C Pulse Commander radio. It is a single stick transmitter on 27.145 MHz. It was functioning just fine a month ago. Dad and I opened it up to replace the stick assembly since the original is in poor mechanical shape due to the age of the plastic frame.
To do this required:
1) Unsoldering the wire leads between the PC board and the potentiometer (for movement of the stick) mounted on the stick assembly. The locations of the wires were marked on the pot before removal.
2) Removal of the antenna mount from the stick assembly to mount it on the new assembly. The antenna is bolted to the plastic stick assembly with a wire lead between it and the pc board.

We also replaced the switch with a different one of the same type...sliding switch with 6 posts on the back.

Replacing the stick did not work (pot on the replacement assembly was too different) so we re-installed the original one and resoldered all the wires back to their original locations. Powered up the transmitter and its matching radio system and got no response. The radio is fine because another transmitter on a different 27 MHz frequency operated the radio.

We checked for continuity and/or power on the leads between:
1) Battery and the switch
2) Switch and the PC board
3) Antenna and the PC board
4) Pot and the PC board
Everything checked out perfectly.

My dad and I really want to get it fixed because it is sooo much fun to fly but since everything checks out and should be working we're not sure what's wrong. Do any of you have any idea what the problem is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Replaced all batteries today with fresh Duracells. The others I was using were new in package Rayovacs. Anyway, after powering up the system the batteries in the transmitter (6 AA batts) started heating up VERY fast, talking temps hot enough to cause a very mild burn in a little under 3 seconds. Dad says its a dead short. We have no oscilliscope and don't know anyone who does. Can't take the system to a shop for testing because it will cost more than the purchase price of a modern R/C system which we have several of. We do have other antique transmitters which work perfectly unfortunately they are not on the same frequency as the system we are trying to fix. Dad and I have decided to replace the crystal in the receiver so it will function with the other antique transmitters we have.

This system is exactly like the system we were working on:

These are like the other transmitters we have: http://www.rchalloffame.org/Exhibits/Exhibit26/index.html

...and dad has one of these actuators and I flew it once, VERY different. Designed for 3 channels using the silver transmitters in the 2nd link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBSRmlIGSWQ

Anyway, dad and I try to keep these old systems funcitioning because they are fun to fly.

You know the scene where Rocky is just getting home and feeding the fish. This is early in the film.

I have portable cassette player that I record music from the computer and I would like to record this music to blank cds.I was told I could rip them using windows media center.I have version 2002. Can you please help!

I was just wondering because I have a lot of old lamps/radios/etc. from long ago, and was wondering if I can just plug in an old electric device from the earlier half of the 20th century in without it exploding or electrocuting me... Like say for example I have a lamp from like the 30's(?), was the voltage in American homes always the same? or will it be overloaded? I ask because one time I was cleaning an old crystal lamp thing, and when I tried to test it out sparks flew out of the switch on the cord x_x;;;

But I'm not sure if it was incompatible with the new millennium, there was something wrong with the switch itself, or the bulb was an incorrect wattage, this thing has been in my family for generations, and has no real markings for me to know (and I'm NO electrician!)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

My Home theater system, Philips make claims, it can play MPEG4 files (Simple Profile, Advanced Simple Profile) as well as DivX discs ( 3.11, 4.x, 5.x). However when I copy these files to CD the player does not recognize any file. When I use any of the recorders like Nero or Roxi they try to convert the mp4 files into avi format which makes the size unwieldy and it is actually a conventional VCD. How to record the mp4 or DivX files on cd which the player can recognize?

Where can I buy an alarm clock , that plays music, has volume controls yet looks "pretty" on an bedside table and/or like an antique. We have one of those old ugly radio alarm clocks that cost .00 at target and I really want to get rid of it. I've checked ballard designs,home decorators and lillian vernon. I havent foud anything yet.

can someone solve these problems for me
my textbook doesn't have answers in the back so i never know if im acually doing the problems right

Add commas as needed in these sentences. Some sentences may be correct, and others may need more than one comma.
1. My brother who lives in Miami has two children. (I have only one brother)
2. This flight is leaving for La Paz which is the first of three stops that the plane will makes.
3. No one knows the name of the person who will take over the committee in January so there have been many rumors about this.
4. Bank of Boston the most recent bank to open a branch here in Armyville has tried to establish a branch here for years.
5. On the right side of the living room an antique radio sits on top of a glass table that also has a flower pot a photo of a baby and a magazine.

I know i would need a receiver? but they are 0+ is there a cheaper way? note- these would be in my room on shelves so a Home theater system isn't really practical. also if the receiver was small that would be better so i could put it in my small cupboard with the speakers on the floor

these are some good ones i found in the classifieds

-mistytrollund99
-missyluck95
-bubble_baby555
-racefan81

I found a couple of portable mp3 players that will record AM radio. Can i save the files that the radio station puts online and burn those to a CD? Radio station puts them on their website but I heard that the download from a radio station only lets you download a small part of the file. Any suggestions for the best way to record AM radio?

Hello, I would like to hear from some people as what their thoughts are on this. Everynight, and I do mean everynight, as I lay down to go to sleep at night, I hear music. When I get up to locate the source, I can find none. I have been having this go on for two months, this time. I have had it happen before around the time my mom passed away. I can hear music and singing, however I cannot make out any words whatsoever. Last night I gave myself a headache trying to concentrate on it. My partner who was in the bed next to me, could not hear a thing. It reminds me of an antique radio as far as sound quality goes. It almost sounds like I am listening to it through a tin can...it has a "tinny" sound. It is starting to drive me nuts as I get up every night trying to locate where the sound could be coming from, but as soon as I start searching, it's gone. Any thoughts on this?? Serious answers only please
I have thought about the brain issue however it's not that. And to Fireball....dont judge me and my lifestyle, you have no clue what I have been thru in my life. Apparently you cannot read well as I stated it starts as soon as I lay down...so unless I dream awake, its not that I'm dreaming. And which god would you have me repent to??? the one that died on the cross for ALL of US not just you. that response had nothing to do with my question so keep your comments to yourself.
Thanks for the serious answers. As far as the mental aspect goes, most schizophrenics dont question the voices they hear. They think it's normal..this was told to me by a doctor. And the fact that I thought I was crazy, pretty much means I'm not as I wouldnt be sane enough to question it. I appreciate the responses. I have looked into heating vents...mine are up high but nothing. I dont know if I mentioned this, but I have had this happen before in a different house around the time my mother passed away. I will continue to look into it.thanks again
