repair - Seeks parts for antique wood venetian blinds - Home Improvement Stack Exchange


we have 60 year old wood venetian blinds we're in process of replacing ladder tape on (that easy find). 1 of our blinds missing small wooden roller , we're @ loss find one.

it's approximately 1/2" long, 5/16" wide, , has 3/8" hole. i'm attaching pictures. while i'd prefer wood, i'm ok other materials never seen. enter image description here enter image description here

a quick google search produced more modern styles.

i know route might more expensive - seems such simple part make. cabinet shop or furniture repair can that.

if myself out lathe - buy wooden dowel rod big box hardware. cut down 3 inches. drill out center, , countersink center. use sand paper , file shape own matching roller. stain , done it.

tedious yes sure - have roller.

if have small drill press better - because put dowel in drill press , use dremel tool cut , sand have need , make lickity split. should done in 30 minutes or so..

below not endorsements of products or services provided useful information..

there habitat humanity might have vintage stuff - or antique shops. considering this:

wooden thread spools

or

order custom made wooden roller. link above in open: https://www.etsy.com/listing/258307687/wooden-roller?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=wooden%20rollers&ref=sr_gallery-1-16

analysis of two transistors ib,ic,ie? - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

is ib current correct went kvl through first transistor your forgetting re. you need use effective resistances r4 , r6, value \$r4_e = r4 * (1+\beta) = 40,000 * 101 = 4,040,000\omega\$ \$r6_e = r6 * (1+\beta) = 1,000 * 101 = 101,000\omega\$ using base circuit looks this. simulate circuit – schematic created using circuitlab you solve using various methods, shortcut realise that, ideal vbe, voltage @ top of both emitter resistors identical. such can treat both legs being in parallel. circuit can further simplified to.. simulate circuit now should able calculate current through circuit as.. \$i_{rb} = (2.6 - 0.6)/(2,260 + 98,540) = 19.84ua\$ that makes base voltages both.. \$v_b = 2.6 - 19.84ua * 2.26k\omega = 2.555v\$ so \$ib1 = (2.555-0.6)/4.04m\omega = 0.484ua\$.. , \$ib2 = (2.555-0.6)/101k\omega = 19.356ua\$ however: these numbers make sense if transistor not saturated. question states \$i_e \approx \beta * i_b\$ indicates ...

Choosing and replace capacitors for audio amplifier - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
i have old audio amplifier (jvc a-gx2b) produces crackling noises on 1 of outputs. so, opened , discovered 2 largest capacitors seem leaking : can replace capacitor same characteristics (4700uf 50v), or should instead take specific capacitors audio? if yes, ones ? in addition, have interest replace capacitors of amp (not 2 largest)? 1: wear safety gloves when handling toxic leaky capacitors, remove , clean safely isoprop. , mark note polarity (-) 2 : measure dia , lead pitch dxl [mm] sort parts this 3: audio or better low esr, highest ripple current caps. < 50mohm, > 3aripple 4: better caps run cooler lower esr , rated higher temp. may not fit. 5: japanese caps have better reliability i suggest 1st choice panasonic @ digikey .. cost of shipping may more cost of caps. as suggested: cap voltage must same or more - capacitance tolerance doesn't matter, , may larger value. - large e-caps may replaced @ same time.
