Damn thing is so noisy! ... It died last night and I had it apart ... hmmmm ... I quickly fixed it and put it back together before I had a chance to change all the caps to Panasonic

hmmmmmmmm ... I guess I'm a bit mod happy these days

Did you put a blue LED on it?

Add a noise gate.

funny thing...I have been tempted to do the same thing!! I opened mine up, and it has a 4558 chip in it, so according to popular legend, it is automatically a tubescreamer clone :lol: :lol:

Just the other day I wired up a small computer fan to the inside of my paintball mask to reduce fogging. I used a mini SPDT toggle from my stash, and JB welded both the fan and a battery holder to the mask. I decided to omit the blue LED, though.

My kids are both teens now, but I still have the baby monitor stashed for the right mad professor moment.

That's funny !!

I have an old '80's answering machine that I'm tempted to play with, its
a panansonic and I bet its full off 4558's ..... :roll:
( well at least two anyway... )

I know, I know.... I'm becoming one sad puppy !! :lol:

what is the radiotransmission like in those units?..
I'm just imagening a cheap wireless system by switching a few wires and jacks and probably some leveladjustments...
I'm guessing the frequencyresponce to be poor, but that is probably more in the speaker/mic department rather than the radio...hmmm

Johan · June 11, 2005, 02:04:56 PM

*somewhere* I recall hearing about someone who did this...I'm not sure where, but I do recall someone saying they made a wireless system with a baby monitor, but had problems with it...
