And now the show...
(Circa 2005). Dave's finally cleans up the tech room #1 and takes some pictures. This is our microwave test room. That is a vintage Lionel Type KW Train Transformer on the bench fixing to under go refurbishment and check out. We can do board level work and our capability is good to 40 GHz. We have complete capability to test and track the performance of LNBs and receivers. (A note to vendors, we do know when you give us a snow job on warranty repairs we send you!)
Hidden in the shadows is a ESD work station that we use on DCC installations for our model railroad customers. We can measure the DCC signals as well.
If you look close at the two pics above, you will see Dave has installed a new trash box. He sure missed his old one though.
Three of our main tube test units. TUBES ! Yes, we stock nearly 50,000 tubes in inventory for sale. We have about 10 testers, these are Dave's favorite ones so to speak.
(Circa 2002) All that microwave stuff and Dave is working on a HeathKit HW-101 that uses tubes.
(Circa 1996) This entire room is built inside a RF tight screen room. When the door is shut, not much gets in or out signal wise ! This pic is just after the benches were built and equipment was starting to be added.
(Circa 1994). That is Dave trapped in the corner, and as usual, he is on the phone probably talking ham radio to a buddy. We used to refrequency and tune about 500 - 700 pagers a day in this work area. That is Billy on the left listening to tunes and turning out pagers.
Daughter "Misty" answers the phones and hammers on a WYSE terminal hooked to a Glenayre paging terminal. You can visit her at our retail store in the Historic District of Van Buren, Arkansas. Sorry guys, she is married now... (Yes, that really is a Tek scope being used for a door stop)
Loads of collectible Star Trek Goodies & GI Joes in storage...
